Yeah, because when I want to see some healthy marriages, I look towards the military for examples.

Dear military,

STFU and GBTFlying unmanned drones and dropping bombs on civilians in Afgha... wait, never mind. Keep biatching.

Next thing you know, they'll let black people in the military.

Well, after some deliberation, I would guess you'd have to be a literate retard or a less than average troll.

As long as those people have their own barracks and showers and don't try to spread their gayness I'm fine.

And don't cry to me when one gets captured and the captures find out he's gay - causing a fate worse than death for the gay guy

 
wyltoknow [TotalFark] 2009-05-24 03:05:18 PM  
what_now: How's that?

That's just ridiculous.

I mean, who would imagine Jews being in the military? Such a thing would cause a complete break-down. Good Christian soldiers cannot be expected to establish the required camaraderie with Jewish soldiers, and platoon mechanics would break down. Also, how are we supposed to establish these Jewish soldiers in any posts near children? They'll just go suck their blood. This all just wouldn't work, it's best to keep things the way they are: Christian.

"By golly, a gay guy! Torture this one extra hard, soldiers!"

Exactly. This is a slippery slope, people. If we let gays serve, who's to say we can't let turtles and small children into the military too? Riddle me that, libs!

as long as gays who want to fight for their country don't have to lie about it to serve I'll be mostly satisfied with the policy. Keepin it practical.

Not only that, but what next? They're going to ask to go fight dressed like Judy Garland? Instead of Outkast's Bombs Over Bagdhad they'll petition to hear "Annie Get your Gun" while we bomb a country?

No effin way.

Gheys shouldn't be in the military cuz their idea of combat is to drive up in the hot pink Jeep and throw Skittles at enemy combatants while yelling "taste the rainbow, biatches!"



/sarcasm, of course

Next thing you know our soldiers will be having sex with animals in their foxholes.

Seriously, how can we scare Talibans in the midst of Jihad with a bunch of soldiers wearing pink underwear and singing in unison

"Thumbelina, Thumbelina, tiny little thing
Thumbelina dance, Thumbelina sing,
Thumbelina, what's the difference if you're very small?
When your heart is full of love, you're nine feet tall!"

Can't see it working. Ever.

More proof that conservatives are sniveling bed wetters, thanks Tatsuma.

The America you live in must be pathetic, perhaps you should consider moving to a different country where gays are executed by people who insist that heterosexual men are the only people of worth. Then you won't have to be so afraid anymore.

Gays in the military is much less destructive than a religious influence on the government.

iaazathot: More proof that conservatives are sniveling bed wetters, thanks Tatsuma.

I'm not a bedwetter for thinking that a mission can be jeopardized if the guy on point suddenly breaks out and starts dancing to I Will Survive just because he can't stop himself.

All the insurgents have to do now is blast that song in their ghetto blasters and they'll pick off our troops like fish in a barrel.

Felgraf 2009-05-24 03:42:07 PM  
And they're missing a HUGE opportunity! Because as we all know, the most important element of combat, is the element of surprise.

And what could be more surprising, than the first batallion Transvestite Brigade? Airborne wing! Airborne wing, parachuting into dangerous areas with fantastic makeup. And a fantastic gun!

And the enemy soldiers are going "farkin ell, look at these guys, eh? farkin.. Oh shiat, they've got guns! They've got guns, they've got.." *Hands over head* "I was surprised, were you surprised? I was surprised."

-Eddie Izzard, appropriate for any situation!
/Yes, I know Transvestites aren't gay. Little bit of a crowbar there.

How about they keep DADT but apply it to heterosexuals too. Any revealing that you're gay or straight could get you discharged. No wedding rings, no pictures of wives, no posters of half naked broads. I mean, if you're telling me that you are straight, aren't you telling me that you're not ghey?
See how well that goes over.

Shamelessly stolen from a comedian I can't remember, but it echoes my sentiments:

"I have no problems with gays in the military. If I'm in a foxhole, and I tell guy to cover my ass, I want him to think my ass is pretty cute."

You forget that being gay is the worst possible thing that a man could ever be, ever. Worse than a murderer or a pedophile or an artist or a rapist. Unless you're a straight-as-an-arrow logger/farmer/athlete/factory worker, you're a flaming fag, and you should be beaten to death with bats. Amirite?

/but that one summer you spent mutually jerking off your cousin is still ok.

In combat, gays could throw AIDS at the enemy. That's an untapped source of epic win right there.

"The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: to build and maintain those robots. Thank you."
