I don’t know about ‘gender ID issues’ but he is about 4 ft. tall and certainly had OTHER issues!
Don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t look, don’t see, don’t touch, don’t feel, don’t smell, don’t inhale and everything will be just fine...
Hopefully he’ll be able to get cozy with Snowden.
My guess is that given the crimes he committed and being gay he will spend the majority of his time at Leavenworth in protective custody, i.e. solitary.
I mean, holy cr@p! Doesn’t this gender identity s*** get shaken out during basic training where recruits sleep in squad bays, shower in common & use common latrines???
That sort of thing gets found out REEEEAL fast in barracks.
I don’t get it.
Where’s the trial for the higher ups who gave this flake top secret clearance and access?
I actually think you can be blackmailed today, if you were to be gay in the Army.
You see, after all of the studies performed, political debates, organizations of gay ex-military....after all that, one thing still holds true:
There are probably less than 100 people in the military, who desire to be openly gay. That’s the little secret - gay people in the military LIKED DADT....activists who would never consider serving didn’t like it, but they didn’t have to worry about the consequences of being gay in the military.
The military is unlike a normal job - and you may sleep together, bath together, pull ticks off of each others crotch...etc. So Its not like having the gay guy a few cubicles over...its a lot more up close and personal. And frankly, most gay men would be shunned in the Army (or worse).
So yes, it is absolutely a blackmailable condition.
And we haven’t even talked about little Johnny being away from home for the first time, and his parents, friends, pastor, etc. back home don’t know about his Studio 64 lifestyle. Very easy to blackmail...even today. You see, despite what we might see in sit-coms and the media, gay really isn’t that popular.
Yup. I think it’s more prevalent in the officer ranks because they were exposed to the crap in college. Enlisted have to share rooms, especially the lower ranks, so its a lot more up close and personal as you said.
