Levin rebukes gay connection to Srebrenica

Senate Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin rebukes an earlier statement by General John Sheehan that connected the massacre at Srebrenica during the ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia in 1995 to the Dutch military allowing openly gays and lesbian persons to serve in their military.

Jezus fucking christ. This general is either (probably) just an asshole trying to advance his political agenda,

or such a complete retard that I feel sorry for him.

We (I'm dutch) as Dutch completely failed at Srebrenica, that's a fact.

We needed more men, equipment, and balls (we had orders not to fire and outnumbered 1 to 10).

But to make the suggestion that open gayness was (part) of the cause... just retarded.

NATO just asked the Dutch to prolongue their mission in Afghanistan a couple of weeks ago. And now this general comes and tells us we suck because we do not discriminate in our army? wtf?

@mesmy I assume you are a very frustrated closeted gay. Hector Projector.

In every private & gov't work place it's illegal to disrminate or talk hate based on race, gender, religion, politics, and sexual orientation. And yet the DADT legalizes discrmination and hate remarks towards Homosexuals. How ironic that the DADT policy aligns with the military policies of Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran, Yemen, China, Oman, Pakistan, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Lybia, Lebanon, and the rest of the countries with reputations of all kinds human rights issues.

Finally someone that talks agains this fuckin gayz!I if only we can hunt those bastards!! they kinda replace the jews but anyway they need the same procedure like in the 40s...

[punkheadify]

with out patronizing attitude displaced by many here, Sheehan is damn right. Army is a tough profession requiring tough men.... not some pseudo junkies.

Leave General John J. Sheehan alone. He speaks is the trout. There are no heroes in the history of the Netherlands. Robbery, murder, exploitation and cruel slavery controls the history of the Netherlands.

@ lunetje

Hey, so as long as you don't blame anything on Homosexuals, and Gays in the militar of the Dutch, I could care less what you personally say about the Dutch.

[lunetje]

@jusitke07 interesting to see that you draw this conclusion from my point! I only say that Dutch are leaving Afghanistan totally not only because of political reasons but also stretagic one. If the Dutch giovernment wanted to stay active in the reconstruction of afghanisatn they needed the Dutch army to protect the reconstructiuon team. Not any other army can do that.

[jusitke07]

@lunetje,

And so you're going to blame the Dutch for leaving Afghanistan entirely on the Dutch Homosexual Veterans? You're not going to look at the Dutch Goverment decision, but only to the Dutch Gays & Lesbians? Silly.
