For some people, it's not enough to keep it behind closed doors. No, they just have to "make a statement". I guess we're supposed to feel sorry for him because he's an injured soldier. That, I guess, gives him license to break the rules of the military.

he wanted to remain in the military and be openly gay, but that would conflict with the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

He should be let go. We can't have our guys over there trying to fight a war with homos jumping on their backs.

AP Attempts To Undermine Army Morale

CINCINNATI -- An Associated Press operative today published a piece featuring an Army sergeant from Ohio. The AP operative decided to use the sergeant to portray the Army as insensitive and callous towards its own, even those who have been wounded in combat.

It is presumed that the AP operative was working closely with "advocacy groups", whose stated purpose is to effect change in the military's social policies, but whose real purpose may be something very much darker...

"I know a ton of gay men that would be more than willing to stay in the Army if they could just be open," Stout said in April.

Stout said he was openly gay among most of his 26-member platoon, part of the 9th Engineer Battalion based in Germany.

Here in New York city, every year they have a gay parade down 5th avenue.. gay rights day or whatever you call it. They paint a lavender line down 5th avenue, put up lavender lights in the empire state building, and it`s usually held on a Sunday so as to offend the people coming out of church with their kids who get to see men tongue bathing each other, wearing nothing but G-strings and/or leather dominatrix clothes and using dildos as lollipops.

This is also the only time you ever see Hillary Clinton in New York, as she is usually marching with them because that`s what lesbians do. Any other time during the year you never see her in New York because she is usually on a world wide book tour or out touring the country to promote herself.

The point is, if gays want respect from Americans society, want to be treated equally under the law as straights, then why do they hold this parade? Why do they act like idiots? You act like an idiot you will get treated as an idiot. If straights did this, had a parade showing a man and woman naked having sex how long do you think it would be before that parade was banned? If gays are fed up with not being treated equally, then they only have themselves to blame. They are the ones who are bashing homosexuality, not anybody else. They are the ones who make it offensive as possible. This whole "don`t ask don`t tell" thing in the military exists for that reason alone. The whole military is run on respect and honor, and if you got some idiot running around looking like some psycho fruitcake, that idiot don`t belong in the military in the first place.

Yeah,sure he wanted to stay in.

This is an obvious twofer.

He gets to skate from further danger and make a queer political statement at the same time.

While I applaud his service... I agree it's time to go home. Maybe he needs to learn to choose which lifestyle is more important for him.

Editor's note: kindly eschew the use of "gay soldier" and "discharge" in same headline. Thanks.
