Oh would you stop with these stupid anecdotes about a song, or a play, or a guy trying to trick the military to get out and failing.

In this case your guy was kicked out for being gay, contradicting many of your previous posts when you were trying to tell us that the military liked gays and recruited them during the Vietnam war because they were so exceptional.

They recruited gays during vietnam because they could do the job, and the men who were not recruited could not do the job.

The ones that did the job exceptionally were promoted, and honored for the exceptional job they did.

And this guy wasn’t gay. Back when Flip Wilson was doing his Geraldine schtick, this guy came up with his character and entertained the wounded during his off hours. That he wasn’t gay, but rather playing a character, was ok with the military when the bullets were flying. After the war was over, people who had never dragged a guy in with his leg missing used it to get rid of him.

Selective enforcement is one of the major argument against government enforcement of social mores.

I guess you missed the part about how he was kicked out after Vietnam was over.

You said something was true. I provided a counter example that showed what you said was not true.

I can understand why you want me to stop.
