LOL! Undoubtedly you were in the last tough Basic Training class.
Your laundry list of faults with the military shows you don't know what you're talking about.
What "anti-Christian crap"? What "Chaplain crap"? You could just as easily blame Reagan for the current policy that is being clarified here.
What about Manning? You mean the fact that he's on trial for treason and will never see the light of day again?
The people who don't want to fight? Yeah, they got kicked out. 1LT Watada was in my sister Battalion at Fort Lewis. Everyone hated that punk, and he got drummed out for being a little bitch (he was also a terrible officer even before that whole anti-war thing).
Cross-dressing? Violates AR 670-1 in its current state. Go for it, but you'd better not be caught doing it by your CO.
Homosexuals? You know what the net effect has been so far? Nothing. Why? Because they're still expected to be professional Soldiers. If they ever start getting preferential treatment (i.e. no judicial actions b/c they're being "discriminated against") then you'll be on to something.
Take my word for it. You read too much FR. You think you know what's going on, but you're getting first-order effects from dubious sources. However, FR can be a great source b/c people who are directly involved can come onto a thread and clarify what exactly is going on.
That used to mean something around here. Not so much anymore apparently.
it was his officer doing the cross dressing in the PX and he should know as he was there in Afghanistan and I see no reason why doubt him.
Oh we had to do 30 miles in 8 hours carrying over 50 pound on cross country full kit.
OK what else to address you.
What Chaplains being told to not discuss marriage last year, a cross being removed at camp in Afghanistan, etc.
yea Manning, 100 pound soaking wet and he gets in the military, he was a wimp who should never have got through the physical and then he gives away secrets because of how he likes his sex.
Yea that Manning
Read too much FR, I suggest you know who you’re talking to first and lets get this right.
Just last night I talked to a pal in Kabul who said there has been homosexuals caught having sex but it’s been kept secret.
4 homosexuals marines in CA who said they were married to get married quarters but were homosexuals.
You might think you see nothing has changed but it has and you’re not the only one who has served so get over yourself national guard army
Is the Captain(P) in the national guard or the regular army?
