Rep. Ackerman: ‘A Platoon Of Lesbians’ Could ‘Chase Us Out Of Baghdad’

lol Awesome. If only more people in Gov't had the balls...
 
Yeah, I read about that yesterday and got a good laugh. It has the virtue of being true.

I look forward to the upcoming slew of posts from guys in the military explaining patiently, as if to a child, why homophobia is essential to being able to fight.
 
That representative comes in mass doses of win.
 
Can see the point of not wanting gay men in front line troops. The whole reason you don't want women there as well. Not being sexist or anything but being practical. Romantic relationships + front line duty is most definitly NOT a good thing.
 
Many other societies felt very differently. Some encouraged or even demanded homosexual relations between troops in order to make them fight harder for eachother.

Either way, just because a troop is homosexual doesn't mean they are having a relationship with someone. If some troops were caught going at it somewhere then you might want to discourage them from continuing a physical relationship while on duty or you could just seperate them. There's no need to just fire good troops.
 
Because there's no way people of the opposite sex could ever work together without romantic involvement. And we all know gay men are completely incapable of being around straight men without hitting on them 24-7. It all make sense!

Yea the ancient societys had some weird veiws about some of that stuff. Look up the what the spartans, arguably the greatest warriors in history, did some time. Sleeping with an older male spartan was one of the "induction" prereqs upon entering manhood. Spartan wedding night the bride would dress as a man so the illusion of spartan warrior unity or some such could be upheld.

And your right you can't say if they will or will not have a relationship with another, but the option is physicaly there, even though its against the rules of this military. (The relationship thing that is) Not saying it will always happen, just saying that yea it most likely will in some cases. Not nessecarily a good thing in front line combat troops. Problem these days in this nation building bullshit that we have decided to enter into... AGAIN... is that EVERY troop is a frontline troop and they all are having to deal with the extreme stresses that entails.

Your absoloutly right, firing homosexual soldiers just because of a personal choice like that is plain stupid. Transfer them off of front line, sure yea I could see a legitimate case for that, but losing their jobs? What makes them less of a soldier then a strait man or woman?

Working with the military, and knowing gay members, it appears to me that it really is less of an issue than the press makes appear. Yes, an issue on lots of levels, but when you're in the trenches kicking ass for the love of your country, most folks don't really care who you go home to.

LOL... I like his style. But I think he molests little boys.
 
Shit, when we lose to the terrorists because they all start making out infront of our troops, THIS is the guy to blame. Way to spread word of our major flaw, buddy.
