Top ‘Gays in the Military’ Activist Charged With Forcible Sodomy
Barbwire ^ | Dec 12, 2014 | By Jonah Bennett – BarbWire guest contributor

A prominent activist for homosexual rights in the military is awaiting trial for forcible sodomy and abusive sexual contact, the Washington Blade reports.

Air Force Lt. Joshua Seefried was initially charged in April, a development that went largely unreported by the media. The charges came about after complaints from U.S. Marine Lt. Edgar Luna, who is also homosexual.

On a weekend in May of 2012, Seefried had gathered with a group of homosexual military officers in New York City. Luna was also present, and the group was celebrating the repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which Seefried’s organization, called OutServe, had anonymously worked with several of the officers at the event to remove. After a few drinks at a restaurant, Seefried invited some of the officers to join him at his hotel spa. Later, Seefried and Luna reportedly separated off to a private hotel room.

Luna alleged that Seefried then made non-consensual advances on him, but couldn’t remember almost anything that had happened to him after the restaurant because of extreme intoxication. Luna awoke shortly after the incident, totally disoriented and naked.

After an almost nine-hour hearing on whether the charges should go to trial by court-martial, Major General Darryl Burke overrode complaints that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to proceed. Seefried’s commanding officer at Fort Meade, Lt. Col. Michael Goodwin, then tacked on the charge of abusive sexual contact.

Richard Stevens, Seefried’s civilian lawyer, argued that the rush to push the case to a court martial trial was fear-based, owing to possible political consequences that Burke and Goodwin might face. But prosecutor Maj. Mark Rosenow shot back, saying that Stevens hadn’t provided a shred of evidence to suggest that either Burke or Goodwin were influenced by politics. Burke reiterated that he had made his decision after careful consultation with military lawyers. The trial is set to move forward next month at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.

I’m so glad that my military career is behind me.

These guys would love your military behind.

The Royal Navy had to deal with this for hundreds of years. The primary reason for the Articles of War containing a penalty of death for buggery was the practice of some of the officers against the foremast Jacks (enlisted sailors). Homosexual officers also buggered each other, but that seldom resulted in Court Martial.

If anyone thinks that this group of officers would not use their power and authority to rape a junior enlisted man, I have a bridge to sell you. Officers have a duty to protect their soldiers, sailors, airment, and Marines; especially from other officers. Our degenerate political masters have gone too far.

Ironic, isn’t it, that SF (Pelosiville) and the west coast are being hammered by severe storms. Next? USodom better heed what happened to Egypt:

“It is often observed that the 10 plagues increased in intensity as they progressed. They are sometimes categorized into three “cycles” each cycle containing three plagues, with the climactic plague occurring last. In “Cycle 1,” there was the plagues of blood, frogs, and gnats or lice. In “Cycle 2,” there was the plagues of flies, livestock, and boils. In “Cycle 3,” there was the plagues of hail, locusts, and darkness. And the 10th plague was the death of the firstborn.”

On good first hand authority— homos in the Submarine Service in WWII were dealt with directly and permanently and... silently. It cannot be tolerated in war fighting, anymore than pu@@y chasing would be in the God forbidden reality of mixed gender crews today.

>>What is it Gomer Pyle used to say?

Back in the 80’s when I went through basic training the drill sgts commonly, and rightly, made derogatory reference to Gomer - and the actor who played him, and Rock Hudson’s lover.

At the time Rock Hudson’s AIDs infection was in the public eye, and that eye also naturally perceived Hudson’s infliction as the due penalty for his perversion.

Those Drill Sgt’s common sense recognition of that self-evident due penalty seemed to be the source of their attitudes towards Gomer, and those like it.

Things have changed since then.

I would never enlist or encourage my children to do so today — but of course that was the subversive intent all along.

I spent 23 years in the Army, when retired in 93 I thought things were starting to get bad as the Army was being used in social experiments, but I could not even imagine what is going on today, it is all so incredibly surreal.

Ft. Meade? When I was in (64-68 Army Security Agency) Ft. Meade was all about NSA. Are these two “officers” associated with NSA?
