Good stuff, and it seems as if the mythical $100 price is within shooting distance
There is a reason the Canadians came down and burned the whitehouse to the ground.
don't let history get in the way of your rant. A Canadian did call for retaliation for the sacking of york, because it was against "the civilized laws of war". We however wouldn't be a country if we accepted the civilized ways of waging war back then "Lets stand in a line and mow each other down!".
It was the advance guard of British troops under General Robert Ross who burned the White House.
Or just Some Dude in an office so they can attempt to take down TPB. I Swear it's almost like The **AA's seem to have little dick syndrome with all their actions.
Back when I was in the navy, The Army decided to go to Black berets for every soldier. I picked up the an issue of army times, and saw that the first batch (700,000!) all had a "made in china" tag on them. The army ditched them of course. Expensive mistake
because its a change of policy. And not wanting to share a shower, or 2 person tent with an openly gay person is not homophobic. Just like a girl not wanting to share a shower with men isn't wrong - maybe in the future we will be one unisex society with one bathroom but we aren't yet. You throw the word homophobic around like that it loses meaning. I went to gay bars from time to time with my friend who was gay in hawaii. I shared a bed with a dude in the navy (had to crash there for an early race the next day) who was making jokes that I missed about being gay, and wanting me. When I saw him a couple days later, he said something again, and I was like, dude are you gay? He said he was, I just laughed about it. So go ahead and call me homophobic, but you Don't get he problem because you weren't in the military, and thats fine.
The first one, I'm pissed at. He got completely screwed over, and those perpetrators should be booted. The second one, he submitted his letter of resignation. He also had service in abu grahib it sounds. sucks. His unit obviously went over the line, but they were probably joking Thats kinda how (some) combat units are, we call each other names and make innuendo to ease the stress when we have downtime.
The third, The commander was a dick, and a liar. Would take a general court martial for a Dishonorable, but once again, DONT PURSUE. He could not have done all that crap he threatened. The Number for the Inspector General is posted everywhere. All she would have had to do is call him, tell her the video was part of a joke, or something, and she is being harassed. She also have got a good discharge with possible medical rating.
What you don't get is people are bounced from the army ALL THE TIME for lots of different things. If your command doesn't think you can cut it, there are ways to get rid of you.
As a former grunt, and person who LOVES technology -I say nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo These will be tracking devices... there will be nowhere to hide! and your right on they will be for garrison.
Midgets isn't far fetched. I worked on submarines - the shorter you are, the less headaches you get from banging it against hard steel. There is a limit though. There was a guy going through school with me who was right at the limit - and towered over midgets.
No condition would prevent a gay guy unsuitable for service - gay people have been allowed in the military since 1993.
Also a large percentage of Army females are lesbians, it's never a problem, well because girls are just different.
dude DADT means you can't invoke shit. These people outed themselves. Its not DADT its DADT Dont Pursue, Don't harass. Those people made their sexuality a public thing. They knew what would happen.
Well I'm 100% for gay marriage and every other gay RIGHT.I had a couple friends in the navy with me who were gay. My suite mate in the army was gay (actually didn't find that out for a couple months, wasn't surprised, and didn't care ) but like I said being in the military isn't a right. This bigot stuff, just retarded really. and retarded people can't serve either, you have to pass a test to get in. The military does discriminate.
There is a reason men and women Don't shower together, share heads, or sleeping quarters in the military - sexual tension. forcing guys to do so with other openly gay men, is short of another word. Me? I Don't care, I would go to gay bars all the time with my friend who was gay in Hawaii, got free drinks here and there, if some guy hit on me, I just chatted him up and thanked him for the compliment.
This is so far from racial integration. You keep talking like it's a public policy - its a military one, and I'm guessing you've never served in a combat unit. There is a reason 50+ percent of them said the POLICY REPEAL will have a negative impact - not gay people serving, or anything like that, just a major change of policy.
nope according to everyone you are a bigot sir.. and you no get no mod points. I said exactly what you were saying, but shorter, and not as detailed or in depth). so if intelligence is measure by how much someone agrees with you, then you are a genius,
You can't blackmail someone under DADT. You can't go rant and rave that someone is gay.to the military. You would be violating the don't pursue part of the policy, you would be ignored, hell the military might go after you for blackmail. more likely even. . Pretty much you gotta get (or try to) get married, or raise your hand and say "Im gay!" Many many people are gay in hte military now, I had several friends who were. It was an open secret. way to many people treat DADT Repeal LIKE It's a public policy in their criticism of it. Talking about rights here, discrimination there. The fucking military discriminates, ever seen a midget in uniform? Hell anyone who got paralyzed from war left the military. Straight f'n hero's couldn't serve anymore. Blind people deaf people.. I could go on for a while. I'm not disagreeing that it's a peculiar Policy either.
news flash - there are lots of gay dudes in the military, shared a barracks (private rooms though) with one in my unit. I even went to some gay bars with him and some others in my unit.. The military does not witch hunt anymore
I had several gay friends in the military, so yea i know this, but thats why DADT works.
So let 5-10 percent of the military men shower with the women, hell it could be a lottery. The Girls shouldn't care right? and I'm not speaking for myself, because I was in the military (Submarines and Arm Combat arms) I know how stupid people can be, and this will cause problems. Hopefully small ones, but more then the guys over there (lots of them my friends) need.
So all those gay dudes who are imperialistic and like the military should what? go fuck themselves? civil rights should be civil rights. and since it's the topic, being in the military is very much NOT a right. It's a privilege. And to say people in the military go "Kill and die for the US" you have the same tone as the guy you were replying to.
When I was outside the wire in iraq I didn't give a shit. I'll take a good TC gay dude over a shitty homophobe TC any day of the week, and vice versa. And to say just because someone is a homophobe they don't believe in freedom, nor would they fight for it, fucking retarded. I was probably one of the most "gay friendly" dudes in my unit. I'd say at least 20% were about the same. There were however a good share (mostly older) people you would call homophobes. Didn't affect a fucking thing, and it won't when DADT is really over. It will however cause more paperwork, more people getting their walking papers for behavioral problems (both gay and straight). I've had around 4-5 gay friends in the military, and only one was even remotely the "flaming" type. The problem would be if tons of that type join up and want to act a way that is not military in manner. They won't be bounced for being gay - they will be bounced for not conforming.
I'm guessing you've never served in a combat roll in the military? It's not that it WILL be a distraction, it certainly can happen. thats enough. And there will be paperwork. And briefs. And mandatory training. The list goes on and on.
You can't tell me I should be REQUIRED to shower with someone who finds my gender sexually attractive?? by that reason women should have to shower with men in the military. And don't even start on you're calling everyone a homophobe with me, very far off the mark.

I'm just hoping it doesn't get railroaded by ms or something else.
the gore effect.. you heard it here first..

They said they would delete, just do so, effectively telling the gov't to f' off, which they need to hear from time to time.
psssshhaw windows 7 supports it already.. slackers!

so now I have to give the lecture on how boys and girls are different? Not sure why you are talking about porn

because the military is unique. the situations you end up in. The living situations you endure. the tasks required of you etc etc

So the states without sales tax?? duh.. and property tax via rents is almost as weak.
