  • isnt it incredibly empowering that a gay male is the most feared being on this planet.

  • I like it how when *gays* don't get what they want they bitch and wine saying were ignorant and they don't get same rights. Yet when we have our own opinion in the matter were wrong and there right.Gays quit acting innocent your not.

  • now you are homophobic if u dont want gays serving openly, or getting married

    who knows what you will be called homophobic for in 5 years time.

    who knows what we will be told is now acceptable, and to let it happen or face arrest in 10 years time?

  • I served 9 months in Iraq fighting so that Americans at home have the rights and freedom to take mine away.

  • Fag this, fag that, fuck ALL STUPID HUMANS... George Carlin said, "I've no hope for mankind." SO many scared little boys and girls in this world. I pray sometime before I leave this fucked planet I get to see an asteroid hit it or maybe a good solar flare. Fuck all of you asswipes. You don't see gay people killing each other. They make music, fashion, and ect. They better the human condition!! Ok now, go out and make more fuck up humans to destroy the planet.

  • FAGGOTS CAN'T READ!!!

  • @ruffhouse00x oh ya? i can read better than you!

  • How ridiculously stupid you have to be to discriminate against someone who is serving YOU!????? wtf...I cannot understand that, that is simply outrageous. This Gay thing, topic and public reaction phenomenon is just RIDICULOUS! I know one comment is not going to change anything here, but man oh man....I wish the good times of equality come as fast as possible....this is just sick and so sad to live in the world and to share it with these idiots like the general sheehan

  • lol  what a BULLSHIT !

  • Well first of all gays are sensitive, so when you put one in the military that would make the military weaker

  • @ruffhouse00x but they are already in the us-army. do you think the army would become stronger by kicking out the gay soldiers?

  • @UberTankred Dude tell you the truth its not like people didnt already know who was gay in the Military if you worked along side of them. The thing about it is people like TYT and other liberal Gay friendly sites think there denying rights for gays which in aww nobody gave a shit who was gave in the first place. Second like I said about TYT NONE OF THESE PEOPLE EXCEPT ONE OF THEM have actually been in the Military. No one has put down gays military what they wont let them wear pink in combat

  • @ruffhouse00x Umm do you know about the thousands of gays in the military who have been discharged for being gay?

  • @UberTankred Denying them the right to tell people is stupid, so tell me this does a straight man or woman have to tell everyone that their heterosexual so gays will know not to hit on them. Like I said before most men who are gay in the military were most likely Nurse or Doctors thats not to say all were though. However you did have a few who were in the Navy, Air Force, but most of them sort of keep to themselves.

  • @ruffhouse00x 'gays are sensitive'. Not only is that one of the most ridiculous generalisations i've ever heard, but even if you were right in a sense (and I agree that gay men do have a tendency to be more feminine), then with your statement you are in turn endorsing the right of openly gay women to be in the military, as generally they could be considered more masculine. Also, heterosexual women are currently allowed to serve in the military, would they be making the military 'weaker'?

  • @LittleMissAmbiguous cheers buddy! :)

  • @LittleMissAmbiguous Takes a sensitive fag to know a sensitive fag!

  • @ruffhouse00x wow, don't you just love it when all logic disintegrates from any kind of argument and it just becomes ridiculous insults? And what you said doesn't even make any kind of sense... I wasn't even identifying anyone as a 'sensitive fag'. Unless you're referring to yourself?

  • @ruffhouse00x

    I've met feminine gay guys sure, but all the biggest wusses I know are actually straight, and all those huge muscular guys? Eh, most of those are gay. I'm thinking that's probably because you gotta have some mental strength at least to be openly gay, with all the fucktarded bigots like you around.

    I'm also thinking you're actually NOT against women in the military, which'd highlight your hypocrisy. Or you ARE and then you're sexist as well.

  • @TheSkunkCat Oooooh yes it does!!! THEY'RE FAGS!!! :D

  • @ruffhouse00x Man....I gotta say, it is really stupid to make such generalizations about thousands of people who are so different from each other. How do you imagine gay soldier in the military? Do you think a gay soldier is someone who makes a special military make up? someone who takes bubble baths? someone who has no muscles and cries a lot? let me answer for you, they are 1) SOLDIERS, who are trained and skillful, dedicated and act like soldiers and it does not matter that they are gay

  • The Sacred Band of Thebes, that is all I have to say. :gratz.

  • The Sacred Vand of Thebes, that is all I have to say. :gratz.

  • The Roman Army made it law that you must commit homosexual acts with your fellow soldiers to ensure your loyalty to your regimen....

    The Roman army was also one of the most ruthless armies to walk the face on the Earth... and it didn't last forever.

    Open Homosexuality should have no place in the United States Military.

  • @eclecticshaman

    1. the US military is not forcing people to commit homosexual acts. they are forcing people to accept gays in the military, but how is that any diffrent than forcing people to accept blacks in the military?

    2. you said the roman army was one of the most ruthless armies ever, even though they allowed gays in the military, so why shouldnt we allow gays in the military?

    3. no country lasts forever.

  • @AceofDiamonds0

    Well.. there are a few different things than saying accepting blacks is accepting gays. When we deploy we share the same quarters. Same room, side by side. Now, does that mean that gay men- who are attracted to men should be seperated like men and women? Women feel they may be raped in their sleep if they share living quarters with men- and there are times this has happened. Men rape other men, should this not be consiered? Or lesbians?

    So, it's not exactly the same.

  • @radahad000

    no, really i dont think men and women in the military should have seperate sleeping/living quarters, even with hertrosexuals. you trust your hormonally challenged teenagers to be more mature and respectful in a co-ed living situation than combat ready professionals?

    but youre right that part about this problem isnt like allowing blacks in the military.

  • @AceofDiamonds0 Well, sure you can and should make comparisons to other living situations. I'm for co-ed living situations- but I'm also respecful of people. There are many people who are not, gay or strait and choose to be disrespectful. This is not to say that when I look at a gay dude- I think man, he's gonna rape me in my sleep, however, once gays are "out", would it not possibly make me uncomfortable to go into my room and think is that fucker gonna finally stop eying me?

  • @AceofDiamonds0 Would you want to live in a hostile enviornment and think man.. I can't even get a break at my fucking bed. This is one of the legitimate reasons women are not in combat. This kind of stress just doesn't lead to a trusting living enviornment that our culture may be mature enough to handle yet. Should gays be allowed to serve openly in the military? Sure. Should we seperate gays from straits by sexuality, it would probably help the transition and may be the long term solution.

  • @AceofDiamonds0 we should dearly hope to last as long as the Roman empire.

  • Well obviously no one is asking any of you stupid liberals who don't know anything about the military to join but even though we don't like it we still need to protect you dumbfucks. Now if you have an amazing idea that can help integrate my unit go right fucking ahead. Otherwise shut the fuck up.

  • While I discourage gays in the military because it does sometimes clash with unit cohesion I don't think it should be banned because this is America. And America is about equality.

  • @34601k

    Retard... Cohesion what a laugh

  • @hbazioq Are you in the U.S. military? Do you have to deal with conservative people in your training unit and try to compromise? No you don't, you live in the middle of fucking nowhere on the Faroe Islands so until you actually know how this affects the military shut up.

  • So you (supposedly) being in the U.S. military means that you can tell me when to and when to not talk, then? No, so fuck you.

    There should be no compromise on something as blatantly straightforward as gays having the same rights as straights, and those sexist fucks that do put unit cohesion in jeopardy are inept to be professional soldiers.

    You need to sit in the retard's corner, and have a cup of shut the fuck up yourself, while the big boys discuss human rights.

  • @xXshinzoXx When the fuck did I start talking to you? When did I make a claim that I tell retards(you) what to do? There are asshole commanders but they are few and far between. The military isn't sexist you dumbass, or else there wouldn't be girls in my unit. Unit cohesion is what keeps soldiers alive. Anything that would compromise that can potentially kill. You need to shut the fuck up and actually try to care about the military before you start talking about a policy that will be reversed.

  • HERP DERP DERP. That's all I read.

    You need to learn that nobody needs to listen, or give a damn to whatever the fuck you write on a webpage.

    HERP DERP I'M A SOLDIER, DERP.

    Fuck yourself.

  • @xXshinzoXx You need to learn that your a dumbass and have no idea what goes on in the real world. Go crawl back to your momma and shut up because nobody whats to hear you talk like a retard. We already have enough of those without you.

  • Yes, for standing up for gays is so FUCKING disgusting to you, you righteous homophone white trashy shit you, isn't it, cause your fucking momma teaches you that homos would rape you in your sleep, and that homos aren't fucking humans like the trashy scumbag like you is, isn't it.

    Well you're fucking wrong, gays don't fucking ruin the cohesion of a military unit, that's what fucking CO s are for, maintaining goddamn cohesion, cunt

    You need to go back to you momma (everyone fucking hates you).

  • @xXshinzoXx Obviously you can't read because you responded to my original comment and I said America about equality. So at this point your just making yourself look like a complete dumbass by nerdraging for no reason. Also why would I be homophobic(spell it right) if I choose to go to college near San Fransisco? You need to check yourself before you wreck yourself. Go home and cry to your mom how youtube is so mean. Go ahead we won't judge you.

  • Not so fucking tough now, aren't you, military boy. OH IM MILITARY MAN, SHUT THE FUCK UP DERP!

    And now you go to a college near San Fransisco (I guess the war is in San Fransisco).

    Who the fuck's "we"? You and Casper the friendly ghost?

  • @xXshinzoXx You really should stop talking because you are a complete nutjob. I live near San Fransisco because my reserve unit is stationed near there? You need to think before you say anything because it is very clear you are an immature little kid who needs attention. Also do the words EQUALITY FOR ALL mean NOTHING to you? Yes Of course I hate gays because I believe in equality(sarcasm because your too stupid to understand). GET A LIFE kid, no one cares about you troll.

  • What to say... Retard

    educate yourself...

  • @hbazioq You mean you need to "educate" yourself because I'm know what goes on in a military unit. Come back and talk to me when you realize your survival depends on everyone getting along.

  • @34601k

    Then come along with gays. We need to come along with people like you.

  • @34601k

    Then come along and accept everyone as they are. Don't you see who is the weakest link in your squat?

  • @hbazioq Dude I nev er said I didn't believe in equality or that gays shouldn't serve in the military. I'm just saying their are just some places that will always be off limits to gays and infantry units and special operations units would be two of those places. Also, your "weakest" links, are some of our best soldiers and it wouldn't be fair to them either to force them to work out of their element and compromise their efficiency. Again gays can/should join up, just not in infantry.

  • Comment removed

  • @JohnnyBeeeeeeee Haha nice revision now that is something I agree with.

  • @34601k While I disagree with your discouragement of gays in the military, I admire your ability to look beyond your personal views and to stand up for the equality America is all about. You and I may not agree on gays in the military, but it makes me so happy to see that there are some people in America, like you, that can still see how much more important it is to keep our nation's creeds alive and in tact even if it clashes with one's personal stance. Thank you.

  • @judasishmael No thank you. The Bible says to do what is morally right. It isn't morally right to deny someones dreams when it doesn't even affect you in any way. Even if you don't believe in the Bible, the Constitution says every has the right to pursuit of happiness and I don't feel right infringing on someone else's right to be happy since it doesn't really hurt me. While I don't support gays in infantry(The soldier ideology conflicts with liberalism), I do support gays in non-combat roles.

  • What a shame

  • Combat is about Units? Sounds a bit homo-erotic...

  • the ret. behind his name and rang, is that short for retarded?

  • @Gorattin I'm guessing it means Retired. But I prefer your one...

  • LOL you know you cant be classified as a sniper unless you pass sniper training? You cant be a medic unless you PASS medic training, right? Its just like in the day when they wouldnt let woman have college degrees. "why wont you let Anna have a her degree, she scored perfectly on the test" "because women cant have degrees, duh" "why not" "because they cant pass tests" lol makes no sense

  • Comment removed

  • @billyslo87 Being black and gay are both biological functions that evolved naturally within our species. Pretending one is "spiritual" only exposes your biased motivation. Your Ottoman example isn't even relevant, btw. A healthy military is not tied to absurd anti-human, anti-social rules. Our military is VERY family focused, because a military service person with a stable home life is far more efficient and productive than one who is not. That is a relevant fact you can chew on.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla Also... not to be long winded... but I find it ironic that you claim being gay is a matter of spirit or soul. In the "old days," slave owners would claim that blacks carried the spiritual curse called the Mark of Cain, which turned their skin dark, thus justifying their slavery... ie, their preferred form of discrimination at that time. I'd love to hear your opinion on this... or, your predictable reversal of meaning, now that I've brought this up.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla There is no gay gene and being gay is not biological. Just the same as there is not a thief "gene." If being gay were then why are there identical twins with different sex "genes." How is my Ottoman example not relevant? And how do homosexuals help families? They kill them by not being able to reproduce with their lifestyle.

  • @billyslo87 "There is no gay gene and being gay is not biological." Denial of the truth does not change it. And more bad comparisons. Next you'll be talking about beastiality. The level of your protestations is degrading in your desperation.

    "why are there identical twins with different sex "genes." Why are most identical twins either both straight or both gay, you mean? This is the actual truth.

    Now gays "kill families" and magically can't reproduce. This is getting ridiculous.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla You see when you liberals can't win an argument you twist the other persons words around. Like Obama's bedside book, Rules for Radicals, outlines. That's a pretty cool book isn't it? You know very well that by the identical twins thing I meant that why are there identical twins that one is gay and the other is not? Gays don't kill families STDs and contraceptives do. %80 of STDs are in gays. Interesting you didn't address the Saracens.

  • @billyslo87 Lol! Now you're exposed completely. You can't make one valid point that stands on its own, so its now a "dirty liberal out to get us!" and "Oh no, its Obama!" You're so desperate you're grasping for *anything* to say, no matter how ridiculous or degenerated your claims get.

    Your statistic came out of your a**. 1 in every 4 Americans, regardless of orientation, carry an STD. Contraceptives allow family planning, so destructive.

    Interesting you don't address ANY of my points.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla You haven't quoted any source for you accusations. I quoted the Military Times as my independent source on those stats long ago. Now lets hear yours. I really don't care about Obama and the liberal agenda in the sense that you think I do. Do I care about them? yes Do I think that they are a danger to us? yes Am I paranoid about them no. You really should read that book tho. It gives a great insight to Obama.

  • @billyslo87 You've yet to answer a single question, or give an intelligent rebuttal to any of my points, and you're demanding sources? You're turning out more and more like the typical arrogant and divisive Christian. You will make any denial, you will jump topics to avoid admitting your faults, you will demand evidence while giving none of your own, you make absurd analogies in the place of sound reason or evidence.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla No. You have yet to stop twisting my words. You think that I am bringing up irrelevant points. You are bringing up the irrelevant points by just venting personal attacks against me instead of logic. Exactly the agenda laid out in Rules for Radicals.

  • @billyslo87 Answer the question. If you can't and/or know you can't, then be the "good Christian" and admit to your failing. No amount of dodging and conspiratorial whining will disguise your inability to do so.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla What question? You asked like 50 and 49 had to do with genes and hate not gays in the military.

  • @billyslo87 I'm going to make this clear. Your argument is entirely personally based & your "facts" have no relevance or are completely incorrect, made-up, or are outright lies and denial.

    You make no demonstratable comment as to why/how gays cannot serve. You make leaps in effort to justify your personal opinion & discrimination of a group you dislike. You backtrack on your own comments & refuse to acknowledge my points.

    Its clear what you are, isn't it. Tell the truth for once.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla Speaking of truth, what is truth? What is your definition of truth? I would like to hear it. Is it the fact that less then %2 of the population is gay and that %80 percent of STDs is through them or is it that there is a gay "gene," of which no proof has been offered of that by you?

  • @billyslo87 How about you answer my question first. You're a Christian, yes? Lets out with your "truth," as if I couldn't already tell.

    The truth is that your opinion and mine DON'T MATTER. It doesn't matter what religion I am or what people I dislike, I do NOT get to conduct a witchhunt against them, or actively get to destroy their lives or ability to serve a fair and honest military contract.

    Btw, 12% of the population is gay & nearly 23% are bisexual. Keep making things up though.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla So now the truth is out. You hate me because I am a Christian. You keep making things up. Where did you get those stats from?

  • @billyslo87 And now you plan to discount your entire failure by claiming "hate" on my part. This is getting sad.

    Answer then question. HOW and WHY should gays not be capable of serving in the military? Your failure to answer this question is pointed, and your personal arguments against them does not fill the gap.

    This is a military topic on military function, by your OWN words. So lets keep you on topic, if thats possible. Answer the question, and do so without dancing around it.

  • @billyslo87 "How is my Ottoman example not relevant?"

    Our military was not taken hostage by an external culture and forced to abide by anti-human and anti-social rules. Our military is an all-volunteer force, secular in function, intended to defend the culture they volunteer from. Our military is not dictated to concerning their personal lives, and are encouraged to form natural, healthy social bonds via familial relations. This includes ALL family relations, not just a Christian version.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla How does where they get their troops from make a difference? It does not affect the person because the Saracens were captured before they were 2 years old. That way it ensured that the child did not know their heritage. If the child knew their heritage that would make all the difference in the world. You can't have a family without kids and gays can't have kids.

  • @billyslo87 You're joking, right? It doesn't matter where they came from? An infant and childs brain is built to be a sponge. "Give me the child the first 7 years, and I'll give you the man." The very idea that you can pretend having a HOSTAGE army isn't a vital difference between our society and theirs is utterly absurd

    Gays are perfectly fertile. I myself know 5 gay couples with biological kids, & they have lovely families. Your claim is yet again personally motivated & completely made-up.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla Its not a difference because of how young they were. No memory of what happened. duh. But lets not get off track here. The fact is that they were not allowed to have any sexual relations at all and they were the toughest soldiers of the Otttoman empire. You tell me why they were the toughest if you are such military genius.

    Once again you fail to provide a source for your stats. Its probably from some junk search engine. Some people will believe anything if it agrees with them.

  • @billyslo87 Yes, the trauma and victimization doesn't matter because they can't remember it well. You realize that professional medical associations across the globe maintain that infant trauma, even a few months of age, can VASTLY impact the adult behavior of a person, right?

    The Spartans were tougher. They tossed babies off of cliffsides. Should we also impliment that policy? Your example, as I said, is NOT relevant for a voluntary military.

    Answer the question. Stop dodging it.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla What do you remember before you were the age of 2? nothing. For all that you know you could have fallen down the stairs and your parents never told you. The Ottomans were not stupid. That is why they killed anyone over 2 and kept the rest hostage. The 2 year olds would be given to a family and then when 7 they were sent to military training.

  • @billyslo87 Now, not only do you deny military history when its inconvenient for your opinion, you also deny commonly held psychology. Does your ability to deny have a limit, or is your opinion just *that* powerful? The Ottomans did not have access to modern medicine, tech & education.

    I've asked the same question at least 3 times now. Pretending it isn't 2 comments back, are we? Answer the question. No more diversions. If you don't answer it, I'll assume you can't & be finished with you.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla I will answer the question when I know what it is an when you cite sources to your allegations?

  • @billyslo87 Your refusal to answer is transparent. You've been exposed as a conspiratorial liar and religious control freak with no argument to speak of. Goodbye.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla What am I refusing to answer. You haven't told me. adios. You must be mad. Mainly because you still have yet to show any independent sources and therefore none of your arguments is valid.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla I guess that I should rephrase that to if instead of when.

  • @peepants1 Been there, done that. Next?

  • @peepants1 You respond awful fast, don't you.

    I might mention that both gay AND straight turtles enjoy a good "cock ass action, and ass to mouth." Its not as if straight turtles don't also have and use their assholes, if you recall basic anatomy.

  • @peepants1 And turtles. Stupid turtles.

  • @PsychoBurgundy2 And you have more experience than him I suppose?

  • You know practically speaking it would not be sound to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell. In a 2008 Military Times survey %10 of the military said that they would "not reenlist or extend their service" if it was repealed. A further %14 percent said that they would "consider not re-enlisting or extending" their military careers. That is a %24 of the military for less than %2 of the population. Additionally %80 of the major STDs are in gays. What if you are covered in their blood in combat?

  • @billyslo87 Your comment is ridiculous from start to finish.

    Take it from a former military member, they WILL follow orders to integrate gays when it is given. (Not if, when.) If they don't, they're free to get out, and our military will be stronger for it. Far less bigotry in our armed services would do them good, and only improve their behavior overseas.

    Also, gays and straights alike have STDs like crazy. I know a straight Marine who's call sign is "Amber Alert," is that better?

  • @DeadlyChinchilla If you want to start pulling out military careers my family has served in every war in American history including some serving with George Washington all the way till the present day. By that previous statement I was saying that we should not force the military to do something that they do not want to do. Its their choice let them decide for themselves. We are all about freedom right? Let the military have the freedom to chose for themselves.

  • @billyslo87 Thats absurd to a level that is difficult to vocalize. Do you believe the military is a separate unit apart from our civilian society? Thats the make up of tyranny, military coup taking over the government and decisions, operating on its own without social controls. The military SERVES the civilian culture, it is not above or apart from it. Our CONGRESS and the CIVILIAN secretaries of the military issue policy.

    Also, the individual solders are never given a say in what policy

  • @DeadlyChinchilla No I do not believe that but I also do not believe that the military is the government's "petri dish." In 1993 Col. John Ripley, Vietnam's most decorated veteran, testified the Senate arms committee and told them that very thing about being a "petri dish." The problem is that you have politicians and judges controlling the military not the military leaders themselves. That sounds like Hitler and Stalin to me. You talked about tyranny. It looks like we are already there.

  • @billyslo87 You do not WANT "military leaders" controlling the military, for reasons I have already explained. Our military has never been self governed, nor should it be. I don't believe you understand the problems that are inherent with such systems.

    Really? Hitler & Stalin? You realize those names are so overused that they have their own "bad debate" references? You diminish those mens crimes by comparing it to something completely incomparible. You clearly don't know what tyranny is.

  • @billyslo87 ... they like or don't like. They are given orders and they follow them, and if they don't like it they can get out at the end of their voluntary contract. Suddenly giving them "options" when it comes to an anti-gay policy would be nothing more than special pleading by homophobic whiners.

    So explain to me WHY exactly they should get a sudden vote now, and just on this issue? When the majority wanted to keep blacks and women out, why didn't they get a vote then?

  • @DeadlyChinchilla The military should have a vote in everything that they do. As soldiers they should be allowed to vote for stuff in the military instead of leaving it to some politician who is for sale to the highest bidder, ACLU for instance. Let the military take care of their own affairs and do their job and let the government do their job. Do we really want out soldiers to have the efficiency of the DMV and the compassion of the IRS?

  • @billyslo87 The soldiers DO vote. Its called an "election," and we already have those.

    You falsely try to separate politicians from our society the same way you attempt with the military, and this is also incorrect in practice and policy. Do you even know what the ACLU does? I doubt it.

    Now instead of Hitler its the DMV?  If you can't argue without ridiculous analogies, then you have no argument at all.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla ok I am just coming up with analogies but I haven't seen you refute one yet. You are just saying that it is absurd and all that. Accusations are useless without evidence. When someone offers no proof and just accusations then that is a sign that they are WRONG. So until you come up with a credible source, such as the Military Times survey, then your arguments are useless Until then, all that you say is just another person on the web that can't base his arguments on reason.

  • @billyslo87 I've "refuted" each of them. You not liking the answer hardly changes this.

    So you're saying I have no evidence? Military members voting in elections, branches being run by civilian secretaries and Congress, and the many countries under military rule who experience coups every 2 years on average... and I have no evidence? You don't seem to understand what you're saying OR what the functoining reality is. You deny based on personal dislike but don't comment on my points. Avoidance.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla I am not denying the coups or any of that. What I am disagreeing with you on is who should control the military and homosexuals in the military. In WWII Congress declared war on Germany and Japan. Then they sent in the military and said win the war. They won it. After that the politicians started dictating to the military and Vietnam and Korea are perfect examples of what happens when they control the military instead of the military leaders.

  • @billyslo87 You show your lack of knowledge in military history now. Our military NEVER functioned on its own, apart from our government. From the day it was established, it was under the control of the political controls established by the citizenry, and this was done for the *specific* purpose of keeping it from gaining... or forcing... power over the people it serves.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla By control of the military in the war situations I meant in telling them to only go to the 38th parallel in Korea... etc. In WWII the told Eisenhower to go to Berlin and MacArthur to go to Tokyo and give regular reports and that was it. Imagine if in WWII we told Eisenhower to stop at the Siegfried line. They are supposed to check each other not control each other. Now the government controls everything and they are trying to control the military even by bribing them.

  • @billyslo87 Now that your example fails, you bring forth "I actually meant X." If you really believe Eisenhowers influenced had so short a leash, it only confirms your lack of mililtary history.

    The military is a voluntary force. Hard to bribe one who willingly signs... or does not sign... the contract to serve. You've yet to defend your claims whatsoever.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla No. I was clarifying your misunderstanding of my statements. Basically that you thought that I was saying that the military should be its own entity form the government a that is not true. There has to be checks and balances. We disagree on the checks and balances because it would seem that you want the government to fully control the military.

  • @billyslo87 Aha, and now a sudden reversal. You now seek "balance" since your idea of military-control failed utterly. You haven't responded to a single point I've made, likely because you can't, and now your story conveniently changes. Not shocking, considering the level of intellectual honesty you've already shown.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla I seek Proficiency. maybe not quite balance but when you are dealing with the military you are dealing with human lives. The military can't afford to have any exceptions for the same reason why they don't let obese people into the military.

  • @billyslo87 Human lives? You just argued that we shouldn't let our military have sexual lives because the Ottoman forced an anti-sexual lifestyle upon theirs. You're not interested in "human lives" or in "military efficiency." Our military does not rule itself, nor is it separate from the rules of or society, and our society has found such vapid discrimination intolerable. The military does not have the choice to discriminate now any more than they did in the past.

  • @billyslo87 Obese people cannot complete a military physical. You're now telling me gay men can't run 3 miles in 18 minutes? HOW is that relevant? The answer is "its not." You're now scraping for any excuse you can find. Also, any obese person can take it upon themselves to become NOT obese, should they desire entrance, and having once been obese will not be used against them.

  • @billyslo87 Then, you say clearly that CONGRESS declared war and sent the military in WWII. How is that not a victory for political control? They haven't won *every* war, and so are useless? You're again pleading a special argument.

    You disagree on an untrained vision with no contemplation of the consequences. There is no excuse one can make for allowing discrimination in the ranks of the very military that protects our rights AGAINST discrimination in our own society. Stop making excuses.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla Define what you mean by discrimination? Because if you mean abusing someone for who they are like the black Americans for being black then that is a convenient argument but not a valid one.

  • @billyslo87 Explain how it is not valid. Lets hear your excuse. They were tried on blacks, women, asians, natives... every "disliked" minority at some time. Todays disliked minorities are Latinos and gays. Atheists are on the up-n-coming list. The same excuses repeated for every group as our "moral majority" fails to learn the lesson behind their repeated failures. How very convenient indeed, that the group YOU dislike "doesn't count" in that cycle of failures.

  • @DeadlyChinchilla It is not the same because being black is a state of person hood and being gay is a state of soul. Example the Saracens were the best of the Ottomans for 800-900 years. They were made up of Christians that were captured by the Ottomans as children. In their training they were not allowed any sexual relations with anyone because the Ottomans recognized the importance of keeping that out of their military. I am not advocating purity for our military I am just stating a fact.

  • @billyslo87 Repeating yourself?

  • @billyslo87 Taking from your spirit & soul comment, I take it your protestation is religiously motivated. Am I wrong? Lets hear what cult you claim membership. I'd wager its Christianity of some sort. It's usually Christians pretending they should control our society, military, its behavior & even our law. Thankfully, we are a secular nation beyond personally motivated social controls.

    So lets have it, your true motivation. It certainly isn't to better our military, that much I can see.

  • @CKThriller8 War is for those who have the will, the brains and the discipline. That includes gays.

    We would be better off dishonorably discharging all the Nazis and KKK and replacing them with gays.

  • I am so glad I never served under that dumb son of a bitch. Everything forward of his amygdela seems to have necrosed.

  • @CKThriller8 war is for men not niggers

  • @Aeythvaenn You are one sick puppy.

  • @leftysergeant My apologies if I offended you, I am certainly not a racist but my purpose was to teach CKThriller a lesson by discriminating him in return. Hoping that he would feel bad if he were to be discriminated (i'm gay). In hindsight that remark was not a very wise one, sorry. Also to others who are offended!

  • Ofcourse it is because dutch soldiers were gay. Had nothing to do with the dutch soldiers not having anti-tank weapons When the Serbs were coming with tanks. And not getting any air assistence despite having asked for 3 to 4 times of our allies there.

    F*cking biggot idiotic bastard c*nt of a general!

    You'd think a general would know that anti-tank weapons are pretty important when fighting tanks. If they had stayed they would have died to a man, and many innocents would've died in the crosfire.

  • @thedutchman01

    And how could we have ever known what was going to happen there.

    We couldnot have known the serbs were going to massacre so many men.

    We asked for air support several times, 2 or 3 times refused. 1 time the request got lost somewhere in the larger chain of command (which was not dutch) and the last time when they did come it was already to late.

  • Why is everyone making a big deal if gays want to serve their country. I mean c'mon they humans like us and they want to because they want to protect everyone's rights including theirs and love their nation just like we do. I love my nation but i hate idiots and corruption being mark there

  • OMG i can believe he said that gays in the military are reponsible for the murder of 8000 civilians.To him LIBERAL=GAY.The Dutch were outnumberet,outgunnd and they were there to keep the peace not to fight overwhelming odds.The Serbs broke every rule of war,so alot of them now are paing for their crimes.We must never forget Srebrenica and stop another from happening in the future.

  • You can tell this general is a typical religious bible thumper who is authentically stupid, to the point where he is incapable of communicating honestly or thinking critically.

    It is possible to use religion as a platform for spirituality, without avoiding your own intellectual pursuit of truth, if you're not stupid.

  • Do they let zoophiles in the military?

  • @guitargod909 Not yet! That "gay community" doesn't get mentioned or any attention from the "gays" until they win their first battles.

    Like all the other "gay communities" e.g. pedophiles, diaper lovers, adult babies, BDSM'rs etc. all take a back seat while the "nice" cheery part of the community does the fighting. If it were any other way gays would have no more rights then a confessed, convicted multiple murdering child rapist. Until the fight is won these folks will have to sit in the closet.

  • we would have gay marriage right now if it wasn't for this millitary bullshit!

  • wait, you can still be discharged cuz your gay or bi??? wtf??? ok that needs to end, right now!

  • ok, let me explian why gays need to sreve openly in the milltary. every minority group that has gained there civil rights like women or blacks has sereved the united states during war, and their involment in such ases has later let to the lifting of their oppression in laws like the civl rights act and their acetance.

    gats have been denied this oppotunity to prove themseveles, and dont ask, dont tell has simply be a way to get them to serve w/o saying who they are. its wrong and needs to end.

  • @PsychoBurgundy2

    not really, most iraqi civilians were killed by americans, but thats war, it always happens

  • all serbs are brutal, no matter if gay or straight

  • What this guy is saying here is fucking crazy! Future generations of Americans are going to laugh at the US army and it's homophobic ways. Most of the rest of the world is laughing already!

  • @PsychoBurgundy2 dude, get a life. im not surprised at all, cuz i say things to those people for a reason, cuz there fucking morons, and those people (including u) cant bear to look at things from another perspective, its obvious why u respect killers... now fuck off and find something better to do with ur time

  • @PsychoBurgundy2 yup, grammar makes u smart right?

    fuck off, god doesnt exist, ur soldiers are the terrorists, why dont u go to one of these poor ass countries and see what there life is like, maybe ull understand for once in ur pathetic brainwashed life that the US are the rulers of the world, no other country stands a fucking chance especially with israel and england on there side, u think a bunch of guys in the desert with hand guns pose a fucking threat? get real, dont respond by the way

  • @gibbsies

    I'm wondering what your pathetic cowardice ass would have done to those "nice men with handguns in the desert" while they raped little children and then forced their own mothers to cut the heads off their own children?

    Anti-war cowards hate to admit that.

    It also reflects on what happens when people don't believe in God. They likewise can not and do not believe in, or care about mercy and grace towards those in need because they themselves refuse it from their creator. What a sad life.

  • @YOURpervertexposer I pity YOUR sad life if you think that all atheists don't care about mercy.

  • @PsychoBurgundy2 u can come up with a million different reasons to defend these guys but at the end of the day they are hired killers thats what they are and thats what they do, gay, straight doesnt matter they kill people fuck them, like terrorists really pose a fucking threat anywways, the fact that we need a military is fucking disgusting

  • @PsychoBurgundy2 ROFL ya u really understand me.

    i dont care who they kill, my point is THERE KILLING PEOPLE SO FUCK THEM! i would never kill another human being not because im a pussy its cuz i dont have the right to take someones life away neither do the military or any government. the fact that u think im on the governments side just shows how fucking retarded and inside the box u are. i dont listen to politicians ever, both sides are controlled by banks so i dont listen to them at all

  • @PsychoBurgundy2 right cuz u know how talented i am...

    why the fuck should i respect someone who KILLS PEOPLE for a living, ur an idiot. im sure it takes so much talent to blow up little brown people in a foreign country when ur sitting in a fuckin tank, fuck the military and fuck u

  • this is fucking stupid, anyone who wants to join the war should be allowed, they're just hired killers, fuck them, gay or straight, who the fuck cares? THEY'RE HITMEN WITHOUT TALENT

  • I view this video and wonder "How do people still judge homosexuals so badly as they do?" I read the comments and say to myself "Ignorance and denial"

    1.Studies show that gay soldiers actually fight more patrioticaly

    2.What,do yout think they'll all start raping you or something?...maybe the occassional weirdo here or there but not ALL of them

  • Men and women in the culture probably shouldn't serve together. Too much sexual abuse. In more egalitarian societies like Russia or Israel it's better, but men can't handle it here.

  • I could not or would not knowledgeably fight side by side with a homosexual in combat. In the Military we have to shower and live amongst each other. The word Faggot is thrown 200 times a day. If someone in the military is openly gay would be treated differently in battle. In battle we are fighting for the man to the left and the right of us. I believe some soldiers would shoot the gay soldier in battle and say it was sustained in battle. 50% of Iraqi's are bisexual and look at them.

  • @Glennw79 "I believe some soldiers would shoot the gay soldier in battle and say it was sustained in battle." Only they seriously unstable ones...

    1.That's another man down on the squad

    2.A person's sexuality isn't really of the greatest concern when in battle...

    "50% of Iraqi's are bisexual and look at them"

    wtf?You provide no evidence and no reason why this matters

    And yes, they will be treated differently, but it isn't like they are being treated great back home...

  • I heard the Army is coming out with a new job for openly gay soldiers. 12G Human Shield. They can actually be useful now.

  • Carl Levin proves again and again his genius

  • I believe that massacre happened because there were only 300 Dutch soldiers that gave refuge to 25K people in one base. They were overwhelmed by the Serb forces.

  • A gay soldier can provide relief ( one tour ) for a straight soldier, so he could be home with his family for a while.

  • This asshole general has now issued an unreserved apology to the Dutch military, and specifically to its high-ranking members who he deliberately mis-quoted.

  • Taliban would be happy to face exclusive gay army ( If it exists).... Or Saddam Hussein would not have been captured.

  • @punkheadify : Ignorant. Ignorant. Ignorant. Google Theban Sacred Band - a battlaion of male couples - they fought the Spartans at tegrya and defeated an army 3 times its size.

  • Isn't it funny how homos compare themselves with blacks? Nice way way to piss off blacks, isn't it?

  • For people who don't know it. He wrote a letter saying that he was mis informed, and that it was nowhere to blame on individual soldiers.

  • @bersaba I agree completely.. why would anyone choose to give themselves a "handicap"?

    The fact that homosexuality occurs in nature only supports the idea that gays choose to live a certain way and invite the world to see them as a minority, then want everyone else to change to be more accommodating. The difference between animals and humans and what makes our species so advanced is that we have control. We can decide based on benefits and consequences how to live, not based on impulses.

  • You're so full of fail.

  • @NobodyBelievesYou Homosexuality is in human nature, always has been and always will be. It is NATURAL because it occurs in Nature. Do other mammals build churches and pray to god? Then Religion is a man made institution that isnt natural. Using Religion to claim that Homosexuality is unnatural is a losing argument.

    Why deny homosexuals the right to live the way they were born??

  • They have the same rights to live a peaceful productive life in anyway they desire to. Being homosexual should not take away the civil rights heterosexuals enjoy everyday!!

  • @Inupiatun What did I say about religion...??

    Saying it occurs in nature only classifies a culture as a bunch of animals that have no control over their impulses. That is far from a justifiable reason for equal rights.  We don't walk around naked and sh*t on tree stumps, do we? No, because we know its not civilized.

    Race is something you are born with. You have no choice but to show your skin color. On the other hand, homosexuality is something you CHOOSE to broadcast to the world.
