// Talking about Congress' jurisdiction over military promotions
Mr. Helm: But there were some Naval Airsmen and they had a big party in Las Vegas. They certainly got pretty liquored up and were telling war stories about zooming around. There were apparently some babes at the bar and they showed up and were dancing all around and the Airsmen started to get a little frisky. So then all these sexual abuse charges came up and the female pilots complained of being groped and inappropriate things happened. So when these Airsmen were due for a promotion, when it got to congress they were just like 'no way!' and passed over them.
Mr. Helm: Good thing I was never a Naval Airsmen, or I probably would have been there.
