Accidental "I Love You" derailed SEALS career
ABC News/Yahoo ^ | 2/14/14 | Lee Ferran

Posted on 02/14/2014 10:47:54 AM PST by TangledUpInBlue

Decorated Navy SEAL Brett Jones had already survived two harrowing deployments overseas when, back in the states, his world came crashing down around him, all thanks to an answering machine.

It was the morning after a welcome back party, and Jones was calling to thank a fellow Navy serviceman who organized the bash. The man wasn't in, so Jones left him a message at his military office, and then he did something without thinking about it.

"I said, 'I love you' before I hung up," Jones told ABC News, recounting the story by email.

Actually, he could have said: “I love you, MAN” and it would have been a Budweiser commercial.

You're not getting my Bud Light Johnny ...

He said a woman in the same office as Jones' boyfriend at the time heard the message and reported it up the Navy's chain of command.

I got that far and called BS. There's more to this story.

Why didn’t he just say he was drunk? Be honest. How many times have we drunk dialed someone and said something stupid. OR, if you are a teetotaler, how many times have you gotten one of those calls?

TO RE-CAP:

AMERICAN HEROES

ACCORDING TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA

1. ARMY PRIVATE WHO LEAKS CLASSIFIED INFO

2. LESBIAN ABORTIONIST NAVY DOC, 4-MONTH BROWN-WATER POSEUR, POT-SMOKING INDO-KENYAN COMMUNIST WITH FIVE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS

3. THE SPECIAL OPERATOR WHO TAKES IT UP THE ASS

NOT AMERICAN HEROES

1. ARMY GENERAL WHO WINS A WAR

2. EVERY OTHER SPECIAL OPERATOR, LUTTRELL, ETC.

3. US AMBASSADOR TO LIBYA WHO TAKES IT UP THE ASS

Sorry,absolutely no sympathy from me.During my stellar (cough,cough)Army career I never bothered a soul in the shower and not a soul bothered me.I had no desire to “bother” anyone and I assume that the reverse was also true.There are a million good reasons why perverts shouldn't be in our Armed Services...most of them involving morale and “good order”.

At 6 he knew he preferred boys to girls? OK, that describes most 6 year old boys...

At 6 I hung out exclusively with boys for many reasons.1) They liked trucks just like I did. 2) The liked cowboy shows just like I did.3) Girls were icky!

But starting when I was about 12 girls became less and less icky and by the age of 15 they were anything but that.But I still hung out with guys quite a bit...it's just that we never got the urge to take our clothes off.

Big Deal!
Every message on the White Hut voice mail system has an "I love You" at the end of every message from someone in the media. There is hardly a media maven left who doesn't dream him/herself under Hussein's desk.

More over-dramatized, full-of-BS propaganda purposely dredged up by the media to soften up the peasants in accepting the gay agenda cramming and jamming and gagging our throats.

If it is genetic, couldn’t it be classified as a birth defect? Wait until someone gets an abortion over a ‘positive gay test.’ That would be a multiple petard hoisting.

Jones shares a specific incident in which a man named Mike, whom he met at a gay bar in Virginia Beach, leaves a voice mail asking him to go on a date. Jones shares the mixed emotions that came with the message.

“I had met a number of people at gay bars in the area who still had been dishonorably discharged for it,” he writes. “Being a Navy SEAL and gay proposed its own set of problems. Fortunately for me, it was not obvious to people that I was gay. If I wanted to go out on a date with Mike (which I did), I was going to have to do some serious lying.”

He recounts how he would have to deceive both his SEAL team and Mike in order to protect himself from expulsion under the military policy, which prohibited gay, lesbian, and bisexual service members from being open about their sexual orientation until its repeal in 2011. “I’m not proud of the lies, but living under the rule of DADT left me few options in such a small close-knit community,” he writes.

It's like the stories about 17 year old Gay Eagle Scouts. I put my Scout uniform away when I was going into high school. I got a drum set for Jr. High graduation. I know parents are proud of their Eagle Scouts but seriously. End Boy Scouts in the 9th grade. Anyone older should not be in the woods with the prepubescent kids.

A neighbor boy down the street used to come play dress-up with my girls since he was barely old enough to be allowed to walk down the street by himself. He’d carry a purse and had his own dolls and liked high heels. By the time he was about 4 years old he told his mom that God had made him wrong, that he should have been a girl. He’s flamboyantly gay now (no surprise) and his fraternal twin brother is 100% straight. Not sure if it means anything since it’s just a single anecdote, but some kids seem to know they’re ‘different’ from a very early age.

I’m against this crap that’s being done to this country. But I must say that when I was six years old I liked kissing girls and I would have never kissed a boy.

Agreed. Just because somebody has done a stint in the service does not make them sacred.

How long before the lies became more important than his mission?
