A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Gay.

The Lion does not give a fuck. Bring. More. Sheep.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Did you and Monicah get married yet?

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

No. She ran away to join the circus.

The Lion does not give a fuck. Bring. More. Sheep.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Nice! Thank God the military has a few decent guys in it.

This Day in History: October 22, 1975

Air Force Sergeant Leonard Matlovich, a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War, is given a “general” discharge by the air force after publicly declaring his homosexuality.

Matlovich, who appeared in his air force uniform on the cover of Time magazine above the headline “I AM A HOMOSEXUAL,” was challenging the ban against homosexuals in the U.S. military.

In 1979, after winning a much-publicized case against the air force, his discharge was upgraded to “honorable.”

In 1988, Matlovich died at the age of 44 of complications from AIDS. He was buried with full military honors at the Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C. His tombstone reads, “A gay Vietnam Veteran. When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.”

Hi!!

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Hi! Jacky said you're Mark - are you the Mark who was formerly Lemonhead? (And other names that I can't remember at the moment.)

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Yeah, just call me Hugo Man of a 1000 Faces.

How's life at the Cheeseball/Dr.Pepper Factory?

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Very well - I'm the CEO now!

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Excellent

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Thanks! Which company are you currently CEOing?

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Mark Inc.

We offer a range of home services.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Cool. I might change the name of my company to Raindrops Inc.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Can I be the taste tester?

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Yes, you can taste anything you want!

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Do you still watch TWD? I ended up seeing the last minute or two of the episode last night, after not watching it in a while. A character returned who I guess hasn't been been on the show since the last time I watched it.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

I don’t. I stopped watching when Glen’s head got crushed. It bothered me too much : (
Sometimes I think about bingeing it when it’s done because I put so much thought into it at the beginning.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

I kept watching after that, but eventually, they had a time jump that I thought was too much, and it didn't feel like the same show anymore. I'll put spoiler space, since you said you can't remove spoiler tags:

The character who returned in last night's episode was Maggie, and her son was with her. He was wearing a baseball cap like Glenn used to wear. I guess we were supposed to say, "Aww" about that. I was more like this: 🙄

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Homophobia in the U.S. military is quite incredible. And it's not as if they produce such great soldiers anyway.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Which countries have better soldiers?

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Vietnam, China, Britain, Germany, both the Koreas, Canada,…the list goes on. This is pretty subjective, of course, but American soldiers are notorious for their lack of discipline and fairly low intelligence.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

I dunno much about it but wouldn't being a homosexual being in close quarters with your same gender be an unnecessary distraction from their duties?

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

They'd be fucking all the time and they wouldn't fight? That's such a silly theory. Many of the greatest fighting men in the world have been dedicated same-sex lovers in their off time.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Well I didn't say all that. I didn't say that being homosexual makes them less qualified.

But I know how heterosexual men are around women. In context of this discussion, all men have the same sex drive and urges despite sexual oreintation. I just see guys sex drive distracted by a woman presence.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Guys in prisons fuck each other all the time. If it's the sex drive that is coming in the way of military performance just castrate them. You'll have a lot of extra protein to dispose of and your military choir can sing alto choruses.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Have you heard of Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene put an anti-transgender rights placard outside her office on February 24, across from a transgender flag raised by her neighbor, Illinois Rep Marie Newman, part of an escalating feud between the two congresswomen.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

I know of her. Loathsome woman.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

You realize I am going to beat your ass now, and not in the gay way.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Ohhh shiiiit! Shit just got real, yo!

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

I can't make out which of my carefully non-incendiary posts he is responding to. Probably the one about American soldiers being the worst.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

And it's not as if they produce such great soldiers anyway.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

I salute your patriotism, but stick to my guns (metaphorically).

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Live by the sword, die by the sword!

For the record, my patriotism is for all Americans, even the ones I don't agree with personally.

And the South Koreans. I had a lot of fun stationed over there.

And the Israelis. Amazing people.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Geez, I forgot the Israelis. Definitely among the greatest soldiers ever (though I don't approve of contemporary political positions of the Israeli state).

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

One of my funniest memories was one year I was in Saudi and it was Thanksgiving Day (US). Some French airmen sat at our table in the dining hall (We USAF don't use the term "chow hall") and were asking me what Thanksgiving was.

So the kind person I am, I went into this whole story about English colonists and native tribes and the communal Thanksgiving meal, blah-blah-blah. They looked at me with puzzled looks so finally I said, "In short, we eat a lot of turkey and watch American football all day bloated."

"Ah! Oui, oui, oui!"

those Frenchies were a'ight.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Ze french weel fight to the last Belgian!

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

While I am on record being against Queens and Queers and Trannies leading and serving with our troops, I disagreed with the decision they made concerning this soldier.

It was wrong. This Man displayed the highest integrity and bravery that a Soldier could. He served with honor. The Military dishonored itself the day it ruled against him.

The only poster who had his account banned 4 times without ever breaking any rules each of those times.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

I read this in General Patton's voice and I got all choked up.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

who are you?

And I'm old, but not that old…

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Next you are going to try to tell me military geniuses like Alexander were gay. Get a life!

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Alexander, Frederick the Great, Alcibiades, and (I suspect) Patton.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

You are projecting, Princess! That's just horseplay. Good for morale!

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

I don't know that much about bestiality in the military. I gather Alexander liked his horse (Bucephalus?) but I always thought it was a Platonic relationship.

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Exactly, and everyone knows how Platonic Plato's relationships were with young Athenian men.

Keep it in your toga, sport! That's what he would say…

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Romans wore togas! Greeks wore Hermes jackets!

Re: A Gay Vietnam Veteran

Thanks for that! You're the Gyro of the Day!
