Nothing meaner than a woman in uniform in most cases .
1. That wasn't Gitmo. It was Abu Ghraib.

2. She wasn't in charge. She was a PFC for god's sake.

Your right , thanks for correction, but i have one for you now , I wasn't talking about the scapegoat dog watcher, I was talking about the female commader in charge of them all . She was a tall blonde in combat boots , the first words out of her mouth was " I had nothing to do with this " . Google it .

The Service Academies are all 4 year universities.

Did you not know that? Have you never heard of the Army-Navy Game?

Did it change anything? Nope. In most cases you proably did not know if they were anyway. It seems that the people with the loudest voices are those who never served and those who are homophobic towards males. For some reason lesbians are not as threatening as males. I think that they should really look at some of the female marines (you cannot tell in many cases).

As far as the rape thing is concerned, as a medical admin I actually get to look over some of the rape cases and what I noticed is that it is the STRAIGHT MEN that account for the many of the man on man rape cases. Like one pollster mentioned rape is not a crime of sex it is a crime of power and control. Prison is the best example, the victim of rape most of the time is straight but the aggressor is always straight. For those of you who think that homosexual rapes would increase if the ban is lifted.....Please! If anything there will be more straight men raping gay men!

Put it this way for some of you who never joined and some of you who have done combat together, if you are in a gunfight and your life depends on the guy next to you to cover you, would you really care if that person is gay or not? Far as I'm concerned he could be a tranny as long as he shot straight and covered my back!

There was another point a pollster made about the reluctance of letting blacks fight along with whites in the military as a "social experiment". Well you see how that worked out, so what is the difference with gays? My feelings is this, if they (gays) can enjoy the freedoms of living in America why should'nt they be able to help perserve them by fighting for them also?


Mostly half truths and opinions . Many of these ' rapes ' are claims by women in the military who get knocked up or are willing and blame it on rape. Another reason women should not be in combat .

And to compare the black race with perversion is simply a big insult to the black race .

I'll have to take your word on this one . I still think West Point standards were lowered by this farce .

LOL...since Rekker is the second founding member to "fall from grace"; the organization has lost what little credibility it did have among extremists incapable of thinking for themselves and believing any wild rhetoric that they are "fed".
