mr_a: Wow, a gay marriage at West Point.

And as near as I can tell, the world didn't end, the military didn't suddenly mutiny, and there have been no reports of vast crevices opening up in the earth's crust. Who knew.

I don't know-- I got a popcorn hull caught in my teeth and it was mildly annoying. I blame the gays.

No, don't blame the gays. That was me. Sorry, wasn't paying attention. Won't happen again.

Sorry, but you're wrong there. Satan has awakened. DOOOOOMMMMMM

Sucks to be the 61 other women who graduated that year and didn't overachieve by deciding to marry a girl.

Marcus Aurelius: This has ruined the sanctity of my marriage. My wife is going to be upset, but I'm going to divorce her anyway and screw a string of 20 year old male floozies.

Fabuloused it up for you.

Oh, two women, meh.

Regardless, it's still Gay.

Let me know when they do one of these at the Air Force Academy.

I am a former infantry officer who was commissioned in 1989.
The best female officer I ever knew was gay. Working with her taught me that who you fark is about the least important aspect of millitary leadership.

Good for her. I just hope that the larger American society will learn to accept it.

/ I recently found out that my first platoon Sgt was gay. He was a hardcore MF who kept this young LT. From getting his platoon wiped out in the first gulf war and I'm proud to have served with him.

bearded clamorer: If two lesbians get into a fight, is it trench warfare?

No, a fisting fight.

There you go.

Well I hope she was gay, because that would be some drastic compulsive over-achieving.

I don't know. It could be guy love...betweeeen...twooo...guys.........no hands....huhuhuhuhuhuhuhhhhuuhh.

Do not want.

What the hell.

bearded clamorer: If two lesbians get into a fight, is it trench warfare?

That statement is especially hilarious, given your screen name!

Good.

It's about time West Point produces SOMETHING worth a fark. Especially considering how the officer corps they've produced over the years hasn't won a g'damn thing WORTH winning since WWII.

What, no 'Obvious' tag?

LRA61380: Random question: do female vets/cadets marrying there have to wear their uniforms or can they wear a regular wedding dress?

Dresses are allowed.

Has anyone noticed that she's very unattractive?

Do not want.

That's Ok, she doesn't want you either.
I don't know her or her SO but I tip my hat to both of them. Sue is a strong woman who made sacrifices so other people could have nice things.

And yet, if she had served long enough to earn a military retirement, because the federal government still follows the abortion of a law that is the "Defense of Marriage Act", her spouse wouldn't be eligible for any of the benefits heterosexual couples are eligible for.

LRA61380: Random question: do female vets/cadets marrying there have to wear their uniforms or can they wear a regular wedding dress?

Cadets (male or female) are not allowed to be married (or have dependents*) while attending West Point. So for female cadets the question wouldn't apply. Which is lucky because the female uniforms at West Point are pretty fugly. It doesn't matter how hot your body is, they make you look like you're shaped like a gorilla.

If still in service, officers (male or female) had the option to wear dress uniform but are not required to. If separated from active service, only actual retirees have the option to wear military uniforms. Officers who resign or are separated for other reasons (RIF, resignation in lieu of prosecution, dishonorable or other than honorable discharge) are typically not allowed to wear military uniform. There are exceptions in certain circumstances, but those are the basics.

*At least one cadet got a waiver from the "can't have dependents" rule when his girlfriend either hid or was unaware of her pregnancy and gave birth a few weeks before graduation. The Academy could technically have dismissed him, but since he was unaware until just before the birth AND brought the matter to the attention of his Tac. officer immediately, they let him graduate.

I find it hard to believe that anyone sharp enough for Academy could truly fail to notice or recognize pregnancy.

Are you comfortable posting the name of the school you graduated from?

On the other hand, we're losing the war in Afghanistan to a bunch of gay-bashers.

No. No, we're not. We're going to leave without completely wiping out the Taliban, but the Afghan army and police will be able to handle them; it'll just take 20 years or so for the nutjobs to get tired and quit.

Either you are joking or you haven't paid much attention to the longevity of nutjob groups throughout history or history in general for that matter.

Geez, lady, nice job of breaking the old '80's stereotype that all carreer military women are bull dykes.
