U.S. troops deployed to Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan this week held the first Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender Pride event to be observed in a deployed environment.

The Pentagon also held a LGBT Pride Month ceremony on Tuesday, one day before the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as between a heterosexual couple.

Did they invite the Tolly-bon to come by and bring their boy friends?

[madprof98]

A few rear-echelon (no pun intended) types throw a small queer party and it gets publicity.

Please understand that the Defense Department is pushing this story, not just some clowns with an agenda (or maybe, yes, some clowns with an agenda).

[maddog55]

I’ll only support the heterosexual ones...

[Dallas59]

This is racism...No bestiality parade???/s

“Unbelievable!!!!!!!!! And in a moslem country! How offensive!!”

the irony is that Bibles and crosses (not to mention Jewish prayer items) are forbidden for fear of being culturally insensitive and causing “offense”

yet the US military is showcasing homosexuality

How many talibanis are repressed trannies and lesbos? Inquiring minds want to know

[silverleaf]

Linsey Lightloafers Graham and Juan McPain were there this week- probably clapping along to the beat

Normally I don't care if we insult Muzzies, but this is rubbing their noses in our $hit.
If we want them to either respect or fear us, this is definitely the wrong way to go about it.
Why not hold drinking contests and pig beauty pageants (followed by pig roasts) while we're at it.

[I want the USA back]

Great. Our fearless leader has turned the military into a girl scout troop.

[autumnraine]

Don’t carry a Bible though.

[RedMDer]

Happy Independence Day!!
Please Help keep FR Independent!!

[LibLieSlayer]

Dear LORD, please understand that not all of America supports this evil.

Amen.

[Bogey78O]

Didn’t the military get in trouble for raucous heterosexual parties back in the late 80s?

[VerySadAmerican]

I saw McCain showed up in Kandahar today. Did graham march in the parade?

They left the “P” off of LGBT (for pedophile).

“Odd that the Army leadership does not worry about this providing propaganda for our enemies but keeps our troops from even the most modest sharing of their faith.”

True, and on top of that the Kenyan Pirate has already told the Taliban when we’re leaving...

While this is over the top and a great recruiting tool for those who would murder us, I think a lot of damage was done when Muslims started capturing/killing American females in uniform. They must have sensed victory immediately; what kind of culture sends them out to fight? The answer (apparent to all): One that isn’t reproducing itself, hence it can be beaten.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Let the LGBT, (in the south that means “Let’s Get Bigger Tires”), march their happy little asses outside the compound with their signs and dignified behavior. Let me know how that works out for them.

[dforest]

We need to wake up, the military is not what it used to be.

[fatima]

Need to talk to a spiritual Director of their faith that they trust.

[SilverMine]

Odd that the Army leadership does not worry about this providing propaganda for our enemies but keeps our troops from even the most modest sharing of their faith.

I am convinced that once they get a star all that is important to them is the next star and retirement dollars, the troops mean nothing, the nation means nothing, and the Republic means less than nothing to these sellouts to mammon.
