One of the things we predicted when the infamous crime against nature was dropped as a bar to military service was an inevitable descent into moral and sexual debauchery in our armed forces.
And we were right.
Homosexual conduct is immoral, unnatural and unhealthy. There are a host of pathologies associated with male homosexual conduct, including random, promiscuous, anonymous sex, a highly elevated risk of HIV/AIDS and a proclivity toward sexual violence.
This is not a lifestyle any rational society, let alone its military, should embrace or support.
Now we are getting more information about just how twisted and dangerous this lifestyle is.
According to the Daily Mail, a prominent newspaper in the UK, male on male rape in the United States military is reaching epidemic proportions.
Absorb this tragic excerpt:
When a man enters the military he is ten times likelier to be sexually abused, and in 2012 alone there were an estimated 14,200 reports of male rape.
Read that again. A man who enlists in the United States military is ten times more likely to be on the receiving end of sexual abuse than if he remains in the civilian population. The risk of being raped jumps a staggering 1,000 percent.
Our military has become a playground for sexual predators, a veritable smorgasbord of victims for homosexuals on the prowl.
It would be stupendously stupid not to accept the plain fact that, as the public becomes aware of these sordid and tragic realities, recruitment, retention, readiness and morale will plummet.
Here are some excerpts from this article:
In a recent GQ article, more than a dozen veterans and current service men came forward to tell of their sexual assault, and how the military institution failed time and time again to bring their predators to justice or get them the psychiatric help they neededSteve Stovey, Navy: As a man, I cant perform the way I used to. I just feel damaged. All I remember, along with the pain, is the slapping sound of being raped. I try to make love to my wife, but I cant Im triggered. Im traumatized by that sound.
This is problematic since men are much less likely to report these incidents, leaving their attackers in positions of power and keeping the pain inside to boil over into other relationships.
The power structure within the military also makes these attacks more prevalent, because men in lower ranks may find it hard to report their attackers if they are superiors.
When a gunnery sergeant tells you to take off your clothes, you better take off your clothes. You dont ask questions, former Marine Sam Madrid (name changed) said
Kole Welsh, Army, 2002 2007: I had actually let the assault go, because I didnt want it to interfere with my career. I wanted to be an officer, and I just said, Bad experience, wont let that happen again. But there was some residual damage. A month and a half later, I was brought into a room with about nine officers and told, Youve tested positive [for HIV]. I was removed from the military and signed out within a day. It was a complete shock
And when the men arent silencing themselves, the military is doing it for them by discharging victims for misdiagnosed personality disorders and letting their attackers continue to serve.
Trent Smith, Air Force, enlisted 2011: He was a senior aidehe had a direct line to the top. Being invited over to his house, I just took it as I should go. Looking back, I ask myself, Why didnt you do anything? It wasnt like he held me down or tied me up. I didnt want to cross him. I really didnt feel like I had any choice. I had just turned 19. It could be my career. I froze and went along with it.
Because sodomy is now a most-favored sexual proclivity in President Obamas military, male victims of rape have no one to tell without placing their military careers in jeopardy.
And they have a vanishingly small chance of getting justice if they do complain. [T]he military justice system has only convicted 7 per cent of all MSP cases that go to trial, which is why an estimated 81 percent of victims never even report.
In other words, in 2012 there were almost certainly more than the 14,200 male-on-male rapes that we know about. Our military has become a cesspool of homosexual degeneracy.
Meanwhile, concludes the Daily Mail, the victims continue to suffer in silence.
Heres what GQ says on this subject:
Sexual assault is alarmingly common in the U.S. military, and more than half of the victims are men. According to the Pentagon, thirty-eight military men are sexually assaulted every single day. These are the stories you never hearbecause the culprits almost always go free, the survivors rarely speak, and no one in the military or Congress has done enough to stop it.
And according to GQ:
Men develop PTSD from sexual assault at nearly twice the rate they do from combat Military sexual trauma causes a particularly toxic form of PTSD. The betrayal by a comrade-in-arms, a brother in whom you place unconditional trust, can be unbearable. Warrior culture values stoicism, which encourages a victim to keep his troubles to himself and stigmatizes him if he doesnt. An implacable chain of command sometimes compels a victim to work or sleep alongside an attacker, which can make him feel captive to his suffering and deserving of it.
A weakened, enervated, morally eviscerated military compromises its ability to do its job and it makes us all less safe.
Bottom line: it is long past time to reinstate the ban against homosexuality in the United States military. Our national security depends upon it.

Two men ignored those orders and paid for it with their lives. (God Bless them!) A lot of people got out because of them. The failure was at the top of the food chain.
I just find it hard to believe that male rape is a common occurrence in the US services.
And I would be surprised to find out it has increased significantly in the last 30 years.
But this article is long on emotion and short on data.
My memory of services is that while there were always homos in the military, they were not open about it.
And male rape was unheard of. Anyone who perpetrated it would be discovered, tried and imprisoned with certainty.
If not outright killed by his fellows.
Obama’s ,Ben Dover Plan ?
Sodomy at sea, ain’t fer me!
Thank you for your service, Marine, and thanks for bringing some common sense onto this thread.
I’m retired Army (2011) & all the mandatory sensitivity training ‘bout drove me crazy. Unfortunately the military has been forced into the values-imparting role that was once the purview of family, church, & school. Remember “Consideration of Others”?
But there still exists a military culture that values courage, loyalty to comrades & nation, and doing the right thing. The last line of the Code of Conduct says “I will trust in my God and the United States of America.”
The young soldiers I see at Fort Campbell (hell, the division CG is younger than me!) still represent America’s best. As does the Marine Corps!
Somehow I think both our beloved services will survive the Obama years intact. Any other outcome is unthinkable.
Pull your head out. The recent stats are verified. Even the Left is admitting that male rapes are skyrocketing. Stop living in denial.
Nothing would surprise me, now that we have an armed services that treats two perverted homos as being the same equivalent as a husband-and-wife. Sheer depravity. I can no longer view the military in the same light I once did.
The military will soon treat a males service member who has his (clears throat) whacked off as a “woman,” and will demand that you do as well.
The deniers on this thread are pathetic and delusional.
And when the men arent silencing themselves, the military is doing it for them by discharging victims for misdiagnosed personality disorders and letting their attackers continue to serve.
___________________________________________
this has happened to women for decades..
they get discharged immediately for being “unfit” “personality disorder” etc
the rapists go free...
especially if it is black male rapist/white woman victim..
the white woman gets punished for saying a black male raped her..
26,000 male victims for 2013..
I find it hard to believe that things are as bad as this article states, but I would anticipate that things have gotten worse to some degree.
I have heard about homosexual bosses being more oppressive imposing political correctness, like that senior NCO in the Army Band a while back. Like many have mentioned, there has always been some level of this going on (Marine Corps too, particularly renown for aggressive butch lesbians and some gay male porno movie actors).
Also, I wonder if this might be a factor in the increased suicide rate that has been an issue over a similar timeframe?
But it’s not really rape rape.
What's the source of that data?
I never saw or even heard of fags in the ranks when I was in the AF...
The numbers are staggering, and they tell another story - that it just seems obvious that some members of Congress are not ignorant of the reports and the situation and yet are just as criminally negligent FOR THEIR SILENCE as would be a non-participating third party who witnessed a rape and said nothing.
I served for twenty-two years. During that time I eventually learned not to go drinking with my “brothers.” I will never forget waking up on a bus and a “brother” had his hands down my pants. I should not have had so much to drink but this “brother” should not have done that. Then I had to serve next to him and attend meetings with him. Dont tell me that rape doesnt occur. I know other women who were pulled into gear lockers and attacked. They couldn’t report it because it would “derail” mission and they knew they would be blamed. I have so many other stories it would make you cry. These things didnt happen every day...but they did happen. To deny it is wrong.
Then you weren’t looking around hard. I was in the AF from 86 to 92. There were several instances that I saw.
Unfortunately, one has to suppose that an “I told you so” would be wasted on Obama.

Up 50% from 2012 to 2013. Consider this, the Corps is hard Corps and homosexuality is still not acceptable in the ranks. I would venture to guess that although male on male rape may occur the percentage for the Corps would be low and the REPORTED rape rate would be miniscule.
Marines keep so much crud inside. The article does bring up the possibility that speaking out against an attacker could be what is raising the numbers and it is all heartbreaking. I get upset when anyone glorifies the “300” spartans. They were Greek pedophiles. No wonder sparta no longer exists. I digress.
