Remember the political folks who pushed for contractors to take the places of service members?

I know some hardcore operators who simply would have killed anyone trying to force them to do anything like this. Yes, killed.

What a travesty (if true).

[DoughtyOne]

This is a real hoot.

This is exactly what they want to turn our military into.

Why the outrage?

Nobody listened when we objected.

[Cowboy Bob]

Sounds like the gay mafia having fun.

[RginTN]

Gays are the supervisors then??

[Conservative4Ever]

I swear to God, I first read the companies name as...wackenut services. I need to clean my glasses.

Three decades ago my husband’s initiation into his unit was pretty... we’ll just say that it was not good. Not this bad, but not good.

Hazing used to be pretty normal for the hardcore.

What a travesty (if true).

It sounds a little too "perfect", doesn't it? Like propaganda.

Photographs could've been staged.

Depends on der Spiegel's source. And, of course, they're not revealing that.

Wackenhut Services used to have the contract for security at Indian Point nuclear power station.
Locals referred to the company as “weapon hut”.
A test of security where the guard at one of the security rings was asleep got them canned...

So...not surprised by this.

[tumblindice]

Whackamole? This is what I imagine a Chicago bathhouse might be like during a visit from u-no-who.

[boycott]

This is sick and twisted. They should all be fired.

Bush needs to answer for this.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Sounds like a typical gay pride parade.

What’s the problem?

"I swear to God, I first read the companies name as...wackenut services. I need to clean my glasses."

I bet the "h" is silent, so Wackenut is probably right. The photos look like that's what they were trying to do...wack a few nuts.

Thanks for catching that.

[mass55th]

Good catch.

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, exactly right.

I trained to go ahead of infantry to remove dangerous hazards and to fight with infantry. There was no hazing, and there was no tolerance for homosexual behaviors.

Notice that the article is about a private security contractor at the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan: “ArmorGroup North America” “owned by Wackenhut Services.”

Readers should also consider the likely candidates for such civilian jobs, similar to those reserve component folks who indulged in similar perversions at Abu Ghraib (not the red herring about torture but the homosexual acts).

Good catch, and thanks. I'm surprised. It was linked from one of today's news pages somewhere. I'll try to find out where the link appeared and do apologize for the error.
