I understand that Free Republic is absolutely horrible in a totally batshit insane way, but actually clicking on links like this still shocks me. I really can’t figure out how people like that actually exist. If it was supposed to be parody, I would think it’s too ridiculous to be believable. Are they just trying to make conservatives look bad?
Right wing PC at it’s finest!
CMC fnord!
I, for one, welcome our new caribou-riding overlords.
I’ve never done one of those before.
In fairness, you are talking about a situation where pretty much every man will be ripped.
I don’t imagine they would have much to discriminate against, if you get me meaning.
From my time in service male-on-male rape was not something that people talked about happening like it was akin to walking to the moon on a magical staircase. It happened and probably like rape across all of society it was underreported when it did.
I don’t know what the numbers are, it wouldn’t shock me if male-on-male rape is more likely in the military than in society at large (excluding prisons etc of course.) However, I doubt the difference in incidence is dramatic, and while it wasn’t unheard of it was rare.
Which is to say, concern about soldiers being raped by other soldiers isn’t something to talk about like it’s “nonsense” it does happen. It is nonsense to use that as an argument against the repeal of DADT, because simply put, homosexual rapists already are in the military in all branches. DADT isn’t going to effect that, and depending on how you view human psychology and sexuality it’s possible it will decrease its incidence. I know that some have argued that celibacy amongst the priesthood is part of the reason we had a troubling incidence of priests raping young boys, that celibacy as an “unnatural” thing slowly wore on the psyche of the priests and lead to behavioral dysfunction. Along that line of thinking it could be argued that gays in the military, who are forcefully closeted, may be under persistent stress that might lead them to be more likely to engage in aberrant behavior versus if they were allowed to serve openly.
Something that tends to get forgotten also, is that at 2.3m+ people in service you can replace “homosexual rapists are already in the military” with pretty much anything else, too. The military probably has at least one of every type of deviant criminal.

Holy unintentional shocking double meanings batman.
In fairness ,gays are looking for love and understanding like anybody else. The idea that they are looking for crude cou,ling with any man they see ,who is in good shape, is absurd.
Some are, some aren’t. There are sluts among gays and straights alike.
Basically, but replace rum with beer.
Great, so we’re… all in agreement, then?
My favorite was this part:
Damn straight! Everybody knows homos can’t fight. I mean I saw 300, the Spartans were uber-masculine and would never put up with any kind of faggotry messing up their army! One of those other nations that allows teh gays to serve openly in their military is Israel, everybody knows their army is a bunch of pansies that relies on the US military intervening on their behalf.
This time we’ll try not to burn the White House, eh?
Yup. Take it like a man.
It’s unfortunately it’s the straight serial killer/rapists in command of the bases that we worry about these days.
Perhaps you’ve never seen the RCMP prancing about
Maybe. It depends on who wins the election. If it’s these guys, look out. If it’s these guys, it’ll probably be too much work.
Thanks. Have you ever considered a career in collaborating?
Not to get all pissy, but I find your implication that strong people can’t be raped (and, as logically follows, people who are raped are therefore weak) to be an unfortunate one. There are ways of incapacitating people of all strengths and sizes and sexual assault is not limited to people of specific body types.
He apparently believes we’re on the eve of destruction.
Well, the eastern world is exploding. Violence flaring, and so on…
Heh-heh . . . He said “full frontal” . . .
So they mount their horse, and get their man? OK. good to have that cleared up. And this “poutine” stuff, its not necessarily gay?
Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait your turn behind (am I allowed to use that word?) Turks and Caisos.
