[Tsuwabuki]

I never said those who aren't in the military. The reason I say in Japan, is because this portrays the US Navy, and Americans, in a very negative light. I know I have been asked about it, given both my nationality and my USN affiliation. I am curious what Americans, or westerners in general, think about how CAPT Graf's actions might affect perceptions.

CAPT Graf did not lose her stripes, nor was she dismissed. She is now assigned to a project in Washington DC. She was fast-tracked for Rear Admiral like her sister, Robin Graf, but that's pretty well dead now. Her career is dead-ended, but it isn't over, and she will still retire with full benefits.
