WEST POINT — Cadet Katie Miller said she couldn't listen to her comrades toss around the word "fag" anymore, and making up stories about fictional boyfriends was driving her crazy.

So Miller, a lesbian who ranks No. 9 in her class of future Army leaders, stepped out the closet last weekend and quit West Point.

"I thought I would have the strength to re-closet myself," said Miller, who was openly gay to her family and friends in high school. "I completely underestimated the personal toll it would have on me.

The planned lawsuit is coming soon. I smell a set-up.

ya gotta’ spend a lotta time on some strange websites to even know that thing exists

Whoa. ".....even though it’s an illness." Its not an illness. It's sin. Bible doesn't mention it as an illness. It is what it is.

I rarely get to the opportunity to riducule queers AND their technology .

LOL!

This cadet and all like her, male or female, need to get help, and stand down.They are unfit for command.

People are completely missing the important part, which is this:

said she couldn't listen to her comrades ... making up stories about fictional boyfriends ...

IOW, she knows there are other Lesbians there, and who they are.

My guess is that she couldn't hack it, and is looking for a quick/easy way out with minimal penalty to herself. She's probably throwing that part out as an implicit threat so that she doesn't face any penalties for quitting (like having to repay the US Taxpayer for her truncated education there, or less than favorable discharge).

It’s too bad really. 9th in her class is an accomplishment.

I admit it...she's more of a man than I.

[JayGalt]

Too Right!

[Domandred]

Was going to say the same thing.

[Pessimist]

“Would much rather have her crack now”

LOL!

As opposed to when it’s old. Right? :)

(Is this an example of “editing”?)

[VeniVidiVici]

Well, the least we can do is give her credit for not beating around the bush about it anymore.

[LibLieSlayer]

Couldn’t cut the mustard... carpet munching quitter.

LLS

[Boxsford]

I had not thought of this either. You are exactly right.

[Candor7]

Research into politics is an intersting passtime. Its amazing what search engines come up with on the ineternational technology blogs, this one slipped in on a tech blog about arms development and drones.

Is that what the Misses is telling you? :)

[Candor7]

Exactly right.And its important that we know as much about them as we can.

[pgkdan]

Good news. I don’t feel sorry for her at all. The US Military is no place for perverts and deviants like her.
