Don't Ask Don't Tell- When Silence Leads to Abuse

[garcontoutsimple]

The repeal of DADT was a necessity and a great step forward in the struggle for emancipation. But is it a way to hide what the US army really is? A huge tool of imperialism and oppression of people all over the world! From Vietnam to Iraq, Afghanistan to Guantanamo, the US Army is at the service of the very rich capitalists ruling the world like a simple piece of marchandise. The true way to human freedom would be to ban every kinds of imperialism and capitalism all over the world.

Secure214 makes some great points. Real life can be even more bizarre than what most people think about males sexuality. For a glimpse into some amazing insights & statistics about what guys are really about on the secret-inside -check out the g0ys men's movement. Kinsey was so right it's scary. G0YS is spelled w. a zer0 for those who g00gle...

[mstephensusn]

What do you know about the truth?

[BlackWolf4830]

Interesting how people who have no video or commenting history signed up JUST to say that Rocha is a liar.

Also known as, bullshit. Rocha speaks the truth.

[mstephensusn]

Complete shame.

[pauljsomers]

Too many poorly educated hicks and rednecks in the military. I hope this guy gets MILLIONS from his abusers.

[southerntxgirl82]

MA3 Rocha, I personally know people that you served with and I have seen videos of some of the parties that you attended. So I have to ask, if they were harassing you like you claim, why did you continue to hang out and party witth these people and why does it look like you were having a good time? I figured if it was really like that you would have distanced yourself from them. Having been in the military and an MA3 myself I know what goes on and I have to call you a LAIR!!

[Savior20061]

Lair? I'm getting a newfound appreciation for these schools up north.

[miamorphos]

The anti-gay comments do a wonderful job of showing how much ignorance there is in the world, and how anti-gay people feel totally comfortable celebrating violence again people perceived to be gay. Now it's no longer necessary to prove that anti-gay people are neanderthals -- they've confessed.

[venusknife]

This might not be "appropriate" to say but...he is CUTE!

[johnnyrobobot]

Wow if everyone had to go through that just for being there, it shows you the kind of people you're coming away with. No one, gay or otherwise should have to deal with that. The armed "pussies" shouldn't be serving our country with "cohesion" like that.

[myown6]

With all due respect to the uninformed comments, Rocha is a LIAR. A investigation was done and the charges dropped. The charges were dropped because they were unfounded and untrue. I personally know one of the accused and he is currently serving his country and putting his life and family on the line for our freedom of speech. Rocha is a disgrace to anyone who has actually served in combat and truly suffers from PTSD.

[southerntxgirl82]

I think that he is crazy!!!! From the videos and pictures that Epply has showed me, I saw none of that and I think that he is a disgrace to the uniform and the country.

[buckhuntr37]

The military is NOT for gays. Its a mans world, not a fags world. I am happy you received the flack you did.

[crzyamazing]

fuck you the military isn't for hetero jack ass pussies like you.

[Rafmanne]

I am sorry but homosexuals in a military setting causes a lack of unit adhesion that is key to keeping each other alive... Don't Ask, Don't Tell leaves it to the imagination, not worn as a badge of false honor... Ask any military member & they will tell you the same thing. Most of them despise it amongst them. Keep America's military alive, not have them as part of some failed social experiment!

[superstubes]

Sad that there wasn't much support for this guy. No person should have to go through that in any occupation.

[Navcop6999]

Fuck u!That hazing crybaby bullshit you were pouting about,being hosed down and pushed around base, boohoo we ALL went through it to become K9.Your gay, no one cared! You got alot less than most handlers. None of it had to do with you being gay, it was because you're a whinny ass bitch who always blamed someone else because you couldn't do your damn job. You served your country, that's honorable,quit trying to cover us with shit because you failed! once again finding a way to blame someone else

[DrApostate]

Navcop699, get your fucking breeder ass raped.

[tyrant22222]

0/10 imo

[call4k9]

Fuck you MA3 you know damn good and well none of that shit happened. What happened is that you got kicked out of the academy cause you could not perform to the navy standards. Hell look how your dog was. By the way I have all your training records and gundecking is a crime...

MA2 Roller (ret)

[southerntxgirl82]

Hey Roller, its Eppley. Well we know that he is a fucking liar, and we should be glad that he is out of uniform. He was a disgrace to the Navy any how. Do you see how he always looks down and to the left, yea if thats not a lie then I dont know what is. Fuck him. He got what he deserves. And yea he will burn in hell, but not for being a fag but for being a liar!

[call4k9]

True, however he has now made it to the big time news stations. I saw a report on CNN last night so im telling all handlers to watch your asses. As for me I dont care im not in the Navy anymore so I can talk all the shit I want.

Mike

[tyrant22222]

@southerntxgirl82

lookit all dat trollin.

[houstongb]

Joseph - Would you care to share the full names of the men who committed these unpunished acts? I, and many others in our community, have had enough of crap like this. Let's show these guys "gay justice", with a little deserved humiliation, and publicize that. It's time we let the straight guys know that we won't stand by any more and let this happen to our community.

[DrApostate]

cut their balls off.

[italianman004]

DADT was a step in the right direction back then, but not anymore.

We need to revoke DADT with stronger laws the protect our GLBT Military Personel.

God Blesses all in America.

[lovefeist]

Here we see how a few brutes can mess up another persons life; how abusive authority can be; how evil frequently goes unpunished, and virtue spat upon; how one person can make a difference (in this instance, the new recruit who reported the abuse), but even then, for the sake of the dysfunctional majority, the rot is allowed to go on, unchecked. Thank you for your service, Joseph. It wasn't in vain. Your testimony provides additional evidence that will ultimately defeat Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

[alloutacash]

Thank you for your courageous service, Joseph.

[enriquefeto]

Joseph is fucking HOT!!

[mistershinobi]

he's so fuuuucking HOOOOT!!

he looks better in uniform than in the interview.. and damn, he looks better than many many straight lame ugly ass soldiers out there :)

you go dude!!! :D <3

[enriquefeto]

He's hella fucking FINE! I wanna see more pics of him in uniform.. and out of uniform for that matter.. fuck!

[bebenic]

those sons of bitches should all be court martialed and thrown out on their cowardly asses. joseph rocha should me reinstated. this makes me sick.

[alpha7445]

Thats messed up! How can you treat a fellow soldier like that! I'm disgusted.

[secure214]

Yeah - and the good "Christian" soldiers were talking about fucking girls all the time, and hiring hookers, and also hazing this guy.

But the gay guy is going to hell?

Fucking stupid.

[MissCreationist]

@secure214 I don't understand how people don't see that as wrong. This poor guy did nothing wrong. People are disgusting.
