Decorated Navy SEAL Brett Jones had already survived two harrowing deployments overseas when, back in the states, his world came crashing down around him, all thanks to an answering machine.
It was the morning after a welcome back party, and Jones was calling to thank a fellow Navy serviceman who organized the bash. The man wasn't in, so Jones left him a message at his military office, and then he did something without thinking about it.
"I said, 'I love you' before I hung up," Jones told ABC News, recounting the story by email.

I got that far and called BS. There's more to this story.
Why didn’t he just say he was drunk? Be honest. How many times have we drunk dialed someone and said something stupid. OR, if you are a teetotaler, how many times have you gotten one of those calls?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
At 6 I hung out exclusively with boys for many reasons.1) They liked trucks just like I did. 2) The liked cowboy shows just like I did.3) Girls were icky!
But starting when I was about 12 girls became less and less icky and by the age of 15 they were anything but that.But I still hung out with guys quite a bit...it's just that we never got the urge to take our clothes off.
Poor kid.
At six, the opposite sex has cooties.
I was born pooping when and where I liked...

If it is genetic, couldn’t it be classified as a birth defect? Wait until someone gets an abortion over a ‘positive gay test.’ That would be a multiple petard hoisting.
Jones shares a specific incident in which a man named Mike, whom he met at a gay bar in Virginia Beach, leaves a voice mail asking him to go on a date. Jones shares the mixed emotions that came with the message.
“I had met a number of people at gay bars in the area who still had been dishonorably discharged for it,” he writes. “Being a Navy SEAL and gay proposed its own set of problems. Fortunately for me, it was not obvious to people that I was gay. If I wanted to go out on a date with Mike (which I did), I was going to have to do some serious lying.”
He recounts how he would have to deceive both his SEAL team and Mike in order to protect himself from expulsion under the military policy, which prohibited gay, lesbian, and bisexual service members from being open about their sexual orientation until its repeal in 2011. “I’m not proud of the lies, but living under the rule of DADT left me few options in such a small close-knit community,” he writes.
A neighbor boy down the street used to come play dress-up with my girls since he was barely old enough to be allowed to walk down the street by himself. He’d carry a purse and had his own dolls and liked high heels. By the time he was about 4 years old he told his mom that God had made him wrong, that he should have been a girl. He’s flamboyantly gay now (no surprise) and his fraternal twin brother is 100% straight. Not sure if it means anything since it’s just a single anecdote, but some kids seem to know they’re ‘different’ from a very early age.
I’m against this crap that’s being done to this country. But I must say that when I was six years old I liked kissing girls and I would have never kissed a boy.
Ya think?
Agreed. Just because somebody has done a stint in the service does not make them sacred.
How long before the lies became more important than his mission?
