It is not the kind of place where people get along with each other,
I served from 1969 - 1972 and would vehemently disagree with you. The homosexuals I served with were known to all, kept their preferences to themselves and performed their jobs as any professional would be expected to do and everyone got along just fine..........
As another posted said above, you are in the military overseas, tasked with performing your job, your sexuality takes a far backseat to all the daily stresses you are forced to endure.........
But back to this story, there is no mention in the article that this soldier was a homosexual (not that it should make any difference) and so I take extreme displeasure at anyone here who would imply that this soldier was. He was an enlisted member of our Armed Forces and there are now 8 fellow soldiers being charged with his death.........That's all I need to know.........
I didn’t even read he was a homosexual,I was referring to the man’s homosexual preferences.I served from 2003 to 2009 then I did some IRR special for about a year.
I care little about culture,homosexuals don’t usually “work” in the military but again as you pointed out they keep it hidden.The only time I learned soldiers I’d served with,in Iraq,were possibly gay(again I don’t particularly care)was afterwards.
Hmmm to be it was about addressing this nationwide rot that kicks in everywhere,with everyone,once the Dems take control.The Army always seems to get so much worse.
By getting along with each other,I do mean agreeing not to have issues with certain people no matter how “funny” they are or what their ethnicity is,everyone that went to Iraq eventually got along with everyone as long as they were squared away.To me that was the doctrine that took place during the Bush era.After the Dems took over......it turned into an @ss-kissing parade.
