Civilians shouldn’t be allowed to comment on the military at all. What an idiotic post ever presented on Free Republic. You should be ashamed of yourself for completely defaming the United States Navy. You should instead learn what and why those colors are worn instead of running your lazy mouth.
LOL- okay. Please don’t forget to take your medication, again
This has got to be the most stupid single remark ever posted here. The TAXPAYERS pay for the manning, equipping and the operations of the armed forces, every dollar, If anyone has the right to express themselves on the subject it is those who pay the fright. The US armed forces are not a band of heroes, although some are, nor are they staffed by the Knights of the Round Table, They are mostly a slightly above average collection of men and now women who for a wide variety of reasons elect to take Uncle Sam’s shilling. They are mostly not flag waving jingos and they generally do their duty. Most, especially the USAF, are never in any real danger in the course of their enlistment. There are the usual number of scoundrels, fools, and ignoramuses among their ranks and any candid member of the armed forces will admit that. Being that it is, they should not be deployed or used for frivilous or foolish reasons or to satisfy beltway mandarins self glorifying schemes and follies. In the case of the subject of the original post it seemed quite possible that the USN would think it wonderful to get the various ‘colored shirt’ people on a carrier to form something that resembles the Gay Pride flag. The wretched Secnav Ray Mabus was a willing whore because he really needed the salary to push the Navy out front in ‘queering the force’. The USN now allows personnel on shipboard to bunk by sexual preference, has constantly harped on queer this and queer that and how great the loud and proud queers of the USN are. All must remember how much noise the Navy Public Affairs Office made over the all queer all the time fleet helicopter crew. So why would some scummy trick to get Navy personnel to form s Gay Pride Flag formation be thought absurd.
