Gotta wonder how something like that would play out these days

Never heard of the Tailhook Scandal so I thought I'd read up on it. Checked out Wiki. Big read. Seems an officer from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) was tangled up in this episode. Later committed suicide. Was never reported here (in Straya) to my knowledge.
Some high ranking naval officers involved and shenanigans went on to say the least. The tale of the 'Gauntlet' in itself would make an X rated movie. Some big payouts to the victims in those days. Meager fines, admonishments and demotions to many of the perpetrators.
Cheers for pointing it out. Bit of history.
Kind regards,
