- duggtodeath, on 07/10/2009, -19/+438Recruiter: Any criminal history?
Recruit: Nope.
Recruiter: Do you hate black people?
Recruit: With a passion.
Recruiter: But you don't suck dick, right?
Recruit: Ewww.
Recruiter: Welcome aboard! - dreamtiger, on 07/10/2009, -17/+192Interesting, we the taxpayers are funding inadvertent US government training of domestic terrorists. Talk about ironic.
- ltchimpo, on 07/11/2009, -4/+135Recruit: Aboard? I thought this was the Army?
Recruiter: Nope, this is the NAVY. Welcome aboard thailor, Mmm. - mejf2loy, on 07/11/2009, -17/+146Recruiter: Are you a virgin?
Recruit: Yes.
Recruiter: Sorry no diggers. - Murrabbit, on 07/11/2009, -8/+131Hmm so the idea goes that gays will ruin unit cohesion by virtue of liking members of the same sex - however hating members of different races isn't a unit cohesion problem? Interesting.
- Jack8274, on 07/11/2009, -1/+104Recruiter: Wait, are you 18 or older
Recruit: Yes.
Recruiter: Welcome aboard son. - supakoopa, on 07/11/2009, -9/+83Probably work the register at a supermarket, and regret not going to college. Why do you ask?
- JoeParanoid, on 07/10/2009, -13/+82And what do you think they're going to do with all that military training once they're out?
- NuttyVirus, on 07/11/2009, -3/+72"Do you suck dick boy?" Sir no sir.
"I bet you can suck a golf ball through a garden hose" - portnoy, on 07/11/2009, -3/+65Why don't they place all the gays that want to serve into special ops groups. I can't think of anything that would strike more fear into our moslem enemies than to be attacked by rampaging hoards of and heavily armed homosexuals!
- inactive, on 07/11/2009, -3/+63nail. on. head.
- Subterfug, on 07/11/2009, -10/+66It is unfortunate that white supremacists exist, but it is not illegal to be one. If a service member decides to act on their beliefs and break the law, then they will be punished under civilian law and the UCMJ. The military does not "promote" this *****. As for homosexuals in the military... I don't think DADT is right from a moral standpoint. It's just a quick fix to a perceived image problem.
- huniper, on 07/11/2009, -2/+56Bender: Hello, we're here because we uh... love our planet.
*Bender & Fry snicker
Recruiter: Sign here on the dotted line patriots and I'll give you your discount cards.
Fry: Just out of curiosity we can use the cards to buy gum then immediately quit the army, right?
Bender: You know, playing you all for chumps.
Recruiter: Correct there's no obligation...
*Bender & Fry sign papers
Recruiter: Unless of course war were declared.
*Sirens sound and lights start flashing
Fry: What was that?
Recruiter: War were declared. - pagno, on 07/11/2009, -2/+41We are pretty good at it.
- Cartman86, on 07/11/2009, -2/+40It's not illegal to be gay either.
- jman583, on 07/11/2009, -6/+44I think the Navy is ok with gays...
- Soniti, on 07/11/2009, -4/+42It's not that white supremacy is permitted, it's that the right to say / believe anything is a protected first amendment right.
They're not allowed to profess white supremacy in uniform; that's illegal under UCMJ.
Homosexuality is also illegal under UCMJ. So is cheating on your wife (An incarcerate offense in the military), and so is having sex in any position other than missionary. That includes oral sex too. (Look it up, it's true...!)
The problem doesn't lie within the military, it lies within the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Don't get mad at the recruiters, get mad at Congress, they're the ones that can modify that law. - inactive, on 07/11/2009, -1/+37@nospinhere
I don't think being a white supremacist or dick sucker has an impact on your ability to aim a gun. - DavidCEisen, on 07/11/2009, -0/+34And how many soldiers have been discharged for getting a blow job over the past 20 years? How many soldiers have been discharged for cheating on their wife? How many soldiers have been discharged for being gay?
Out of those three previous categories, which 'crime' do you believe to be the most common in the military? Which 'crime' do you believe to be the least common? Is the amount of discharges for each crime proportional? - yocouchdigga, on 07/11/2009, -2/+35I don't know, JoeParanoid but I have a feeling you do!
- Amadeus2490, on 07/11/2009, -0/+31Don't ask, don't tell.
- pagno, on 07/11/2009, -7/+37Um yeah. I guess youve never heard of the GI BIll. Thats ok, its only been around since WWII. The new one they just passed pays all tuition to state schools, books, and extra money for housing.
"Probably work the register at a supermarket, while going to college."
There. Fixed it for you. - mejf2loy, on 07/11/2009, -9/+38Title is misleading, they let Bruno into the army reserve.
- Spire3660, on 07/11/2009, -0/+28Alan Turing, father of modern Computer Science, instrumental in helping to win the war against Germany by cracking their codes, was a homosexual. He was charged and convicted and then chemically castrated by the British government after the war simply for being gay. There is no doubt the man helped save COUNTLESS lives, influenced society as few have before, and he was chemically castrated to try and 'cure' him of homosexuality. He ended up eating a self-poisoned apple at age 41.
- Spire3660, on 07/11/2009, -1/+29How about they stop worrying abut who is sleeping with whom and be professional adult soldiers? IT really shouldnt matter what your sexual preference is, as long as you are a good soldier. Anything else can be handled by USMJ
- Mujokan, on 07/11/2009, -0/+27And if you get five black guys and five white supremacists in one unit, what's going to happen? How does beating someone to try and change their views help cohesion? You think after being beaten they are then going to make sure to watch the guy's back? More likely they will let him take a bullet and solve the problem that way. Why wouldn't they?
- LordBoreal51, on 07/11/2009, -1/+28I think threenuns means that you can get out of the army before your deployment if you've enlisted and change your mind.
- Barackalypse, on 07/11/2009, -3/+30"Military regulations disqualify members of hate groups from enlisting, but there is no specific ban on members of street gangs. "
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/07/28/eveningn ... - meghalc, on 07/11/2009, -3/+30we also trained the current afgan terrorists.
- Dipsomaniac, on 07/11/2009, -0/+26"Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn’t really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong."
See how including the rest of what she says makes it different? - inactive, on 07/11/2009, -1/+27If you're talking about white supremacists, the answer is law enforcement.
- Kaegro, on 07/11/2009, -10/+35So...Gays are being discriminated against and white supremacists right wing bible totting war mongers are getting what ever they want in the U.S.A...this is hardly news.
- Barackalypse, on 07/11/2009, -1/+26Its not illegal to be in a hate group, but the military regulations say it disqualifies you from enlisting:
""Military regulations disqualify members of hate groups from enlisting, but there is no specific ban on members of street gangs."
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/07/28/eveningn ... - ChromaVita, on 07/11/2009, -1/+25And if you're talking about gays, the answer is interior design.
- Vault13A, on 07/11/2009, -4/+28Also the military kicks racists out. We kicked out a neo-nazi a few months back
- inactive, on 07/11/2009, -6/+29Not too different from our funding of Osama.
- dobba, on 07/11/2009, -6/+28"Wouldn't you get a dishonorable discharge".
Maybe, but isn't that preferable to dying for an unworthy or false cause to promote a US foreign policy that cares only for $$$'s and nothing of US and allied soldiers lives? Jus' sayin'. =) - Maynza, on 07/11/2009, -0/+22You forgot the most important part of that quote!
"Do you suck dicks boy?"
"Sir no sir."
"*****!, I bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose" - lump1, on 07/11/2009, -1/+22And white supremacists don't make people uncomfortable? They definitely make me uncomfortable, and I imagine it would be even worse if I weren't white.
- Myonosken, on 07/11/2009, -1/+22And then you'd sue the ***** out of said public job or army claiming discrimination. Ruining your future for admitting to being gay is not acceptable in a modern country.
- hankthedwarf, on 07/11/2009, -3/+24There's no draft, so that's a pointless statement.
- completerobot, on 07/11/2009, -0/+21Have you seen him? I'm sure they could tell.
- jman583, on 07/11/2009, -1/+21Proof:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atK9bEMX_9g - Spire3660, on 07/11/2009, -0/+20If someone is being beaten in his unit, that is a matter for the MPs. If, as a soldier, you cant follow the orders given to you, including bunking with and not killing people even if you really dont like them, then you have no business in the military. Full stop.
- diskoh, on 07/11/2009, -0/+19I think that was poor wording in the article. I think it's saying that they need to investigate to ensure that they aren't training terrorists. Not that skinheads are joining to ensure they aren't training terrorists. In other words, the skinheads are the potential domestic terrorists in question.
- threenuns, on 07/11/2009, -5/+24Isn't then just claiming to be Gay an easy way to get out of the army?
- norman619, on 07/11/2009, -1/+19No the problem lies in the lowering of standards when recruiting. They have been recruiting KNOWN gang members and these same gang memebers put their military training to use for the gang. The military is supposedly putting a stop to enlisting gangmembers. I'd hate to be a police officer having to face down one of these guys . The gangs are already better armed and now they are becoming better trained in urban combat.
- 0tis, on 07/11/2009, -3/+21Well, *obviously* the racists aren't all going to ruin the atmosphere by having sex with each other. I can't believe people think this is an issue.
/s
If they're anything like the ones here (in the UK), I wouldn't worry about the white supremacists too much. One of them got caught with bomb-making equipment last week because police searched him after he was nicked for being drunk on a train, insulting his fellow travellers then urinating in public. Not the brightest spark in the mixed-metaphorical tool-shed. - Atario, on 07/11/2009, -2/+19It's also not illegal to be homosexual.
- Forumgod, on 07/11/2009, -3/+19I never really understood the fear of gay people
It's not like they turn into supermonsters and rape everyone around guys (or girls if they're lesbian).
So (s)he is gay, so what? Otherwise they're probably the same, it's not like all gays have a thing for clothes, dresses and make up and they all hate manly sports.
SAY NO TO DISCRIMINATION! -
