Military job ads

[Bill3250]

I just saw this headline on AOL: "Military Job Ads on Gay Web Site!" Is this equality? Or a typical military fuck up?

I don't know if it is a TYPICAL fuck-up...I assume it was by accident. Usually advertisers buy packages and then their ads get posted all over the web. Still pretty funny though!

Hmmm i dunno where you're at but my wife is in the military and our marriage is treat just like a hetrosexual marriage, she also knows gay men that are in the forces?

Are you in the United States?

 

[lilbabe]

No we are actually based in Germany but we are both British. My wife is actually in Canada at the moment training to go to Iraq.

Gays are not allowed to openly serve in the Us Armed Forces, under the so-called "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy. Hence the irony of the military advertising in gay venues.

I suspect that Etoile is correct, they bought an advertising package without paying attention to what sites were included. This is common, and why you often see, for example, advertisements for Republican candidates on Democratic forums and vice versa.

Assuming a Democrat is elected to the Presedency (a somewhat valid assumption, I think), do you think that may change in the next term?

That's open to anyone, I don't mean any "you" in particular.

If a Democrat were elected President, I would hope a repeal of DADT was coming. I'm not confident the Dems will win, unfortunately.

 

[Marisia]

I don't see that being repealed any time soon, but hopefully some in-roads would be made towards alleviating the homophobia in the US military. A Dem being elected may help this, but it would be more important to think of which one. (there are many Dems that are also homophobic)

I live and "party" in an area with a lot of military, especially the hard core hard charging tough-as-nails special ops guys. Several of them love to call me up and have me "entertain" them and their friends after they return from one of those (been out of town for awhile) jobs. Although they say they don't flauent it, but a lot of people know it. The military higher ups over look a lot of crap, especially for these type guys. So knowing this and the fact the military looks for very special talents in certain areas, never assume much is an accident

As I hitchhiked home after signing the papers to enlist, a guy who gave me a lift suddenly had to: "take a piss," and we spent the next hour or so sucking each other off. That was the first of uncountable sessions of gay sex I enjoyed during the four and a half years I spent in the service.
