That photo is disgusting beyond belief.
A brigadier general in the 82d Airborne just got busted in theater for sodomy & other charges. Sex of “partner” not mentioned so we know what that means.
I retired last year. What’s become of our military?
It's no longer important to be able to do your job; you only have to to do # of situps, # number of push ups, and run the 1.5 mile in a certain time. God forbid if you should not be as fast as someone half your age.
Is my bitterness showing too much? I'm mad, and I'm sad, at what our once proud military is becoming. It's no longer, "the few, the proud."
It was heterosexual.....there was a thread about it earlier. (To those that inevitably ask - no, I am not going to search for a link. Hit the "next page" button a time or two and it should come up.)
Anyway, I agree with you that it is disgusting beyond belief. A lot of people I know are disgusted with what the military has become; I know I am.
I made the AIDS argument ad naseum prior to the repeal.....one FACT they don't mention in the article - if there is a mass casualty event, they call for X blood type and you go down and roll up your sleeve. They don't have time to test it before it winds up in the patient.
According to my wife (former Army medic) there are 2 individuals (unnamed - HIPPA and all) that received HIV from transfusions in Iraq from the hospital where she worked during her tour. This was pre-repeal of DADT.
Imagine how many we don't know about.
We need to forgo the repeal, forgo DADT, and go back to a no-homo policy.
