Military Recruiting Centers Bulge with Eager Gay Enlistees
“I so wanted to join the army so we could travel to other countries together and kill America’s enemies.
I used to lie awake at night and picture the two of us dressed in our fatigues, meticulously lubricating our guns. I loved reading stories about those gruff drill sergeants being all butch and forcing enlisted men to aggressively polish their shoes and belt buckles until they were shiny. Sometimes I had dreams about doing push-ups shirtless in the sticky, sultry heat of some pacific island in the middle of nowhere with hundreds of other shirtless, sweaty and grunting soldiers. As our swollen muscles glistened in perspiration under the merciless, hypnotizing rays of sunshine….” -- Daily Rash

Drill sergeant: Well, just for that, you are going to be doing those push-ups with me lying on your back! You are going to discover muscles, you never knew you had! Big... muscles, hard... muscles!
Wally: Oh, yesss, sir!

I dunno.... It all sounds very Spartan. Having been in the Army for a long while, I feel sorry for any straight female in Transportation or Quartermaster units. They will be hunted to extinction by both males and lesbians. There will be consequences unexpected and unexperienced by Alexander's army.

Well said Gray. Talked to a new female seaman deuce off the Reagan the other day. She wanted to know where all these queer guys came from all of a sudden... talk about prejudicial to good order and discipline.

Get real people, this is an Onion take off, nothing more. It's also a homophobic hit piece. Figures, considering what this site has become.
If you want to know what gay men and women have done in our military I can tell you. They did their job. I did mine in the USAF at the same time assholes from Berkeley were spitting on our country, torching Wheeler Hall, and cowering from responsibility with student deferments. Berkeley scum learned one thing really well in those days - how to tear down those who freely choose to defend their country and risk their lives. What's left of these pathetic losers are still at it. All they know is how to knock down and destroy the best in humanity while upholding the worst.
