I think there could have been a much better way to handle this. It seems as if he didn't get the result he wanted so he called the Navy Times. One way to handle it was to grow a pair and say FU to those who started it, accept it and move on. I suppose being careful on extreme callsigns is a better way to approach it with today's PC society but damn, you're in a Hornet squadron, surrounded by warriors, man up a bit and carry on. There are more important fires to burn out there I think.
