COUNTRIES THAT ALLOW GAYS TO SERVE IN THE MILITARY -VANITY

Posted on 11/30/2010 1:34:54 PM PST by Jean2

I was wondering what countries allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in their military and how it was working out. Does anyone here know?

“If Openly Gay Solders are allowed to serve, there will be gay parties and scandals involving these solders to such an extent that the reputation of these institutions will be damaged to the point that they can no longer attracts the countries finest.”

I agree with this statement and further state that I solidly believe this is whats on Obozo and his puppet masters list of things to do.

Please especially note the second link. NATO commanders admitted that homosexuals in the military cause problems but of course no one wants to publicly admit that.

During boot camp, the first night we had to shower as a unit. 80 plus guys in a huge shower room with about 20 shower heads. So we had to wait for the guy in front to get finished before we got in. Most guys just looked at the ceiling, however one guy walked around “inspecting the packages”. Needless to say he got beat down....This is the problem. We don’t have a problem with anyone’s sexuality, what we have a problem with is it being forced on us. I don’t mind serving with gays, but they better have their own facilities, because the whole point of bathrooms being male and female is to prevent this type of behavior. If we blurr those lines, we might as well just have one bathroom and shower for everyone.

I hope you’ll forgive me if I don’t accept Wikipedia as a terribly serious source of reliable information. Still, I’m perfectly willing to credit your post if you manage to find a credible source.

"...many in their Army will be women, and as women..."

I was thinking Nostradamus or some such clap trap. Regardless, I guess he did make it up.

Then there was the tale of the Greek that fought being drafted because he refused to leave his buddies behind.

In the mid 50’s being ‘that way’ was considered a brig offense and the Marines that ran the Naval Brigs had special ‘treatment’ for the sea service ‘do funny’s’.

That still did not stop the occasional ‘wandering hand’ in the middle of the night, and usually the offender wound up the recipient of a ‘blanket party’.

When they went to mast it was usually enough to say the bruises he showed were from falling UP a ladder.

They and thieves were not taken well and justice served by their peers was usually swift and harsh.

And, if caught, BOTH parties got the same punishment, unless there was some very extraordinary circumstances but you never lost your need to say no, so collusion etc was basically not an excuse.
