The Sex Studs of the Fighting 82nd Airborne - US Military Gay Porn Chic
(Originaliy posted 1/27/06 10 pm)
Apparently the antics of Jeff Gannon/Guckert, Mr. Military Gay Porn White House Insider himself, rubbed off, so to speak, on at least a few of our boys in the paratrooper elite. This could be disgusting. Click on the title to read more of our manly men in uniform doing the Y - M - C - A (thanx to the Village People and all those in uniform serving whoever they serve, however they serve them!)
An update on our hunkly studs who apparantly have just been busted is down a few paragraphs. But first, here is the original report as it broke in the news.
From the ABC news story, we read a verrrry bizarre report:
Army officials are investigating allegations that members of the celebrated 82nd Airborne Division appear on a gay pornography Web site, a spokeswoman said Friday... Division spokeswoman Maj. Amy Hannah declined to say how many paratroopers are involved or identify their unit within the division. A defense official speaking on condition of anonymity said up to seven soldiers are involved.Hannah said soldiers questioned will be allowed to seek legal assistance, but she declined to say if any one had been charged.
Of course the military flacks say they will do everything by the book, and don't ask don't tell and blablabla. "We are concerned about the privacy and rights of each trooper involved and that they are treated with dignity and respect," Hannah said," and "Maj. Todd Vician, a Defense Department spokesman in Washington, said the military's 'don't ask, don't tell' policy states that 'homosexual orientation alone is not a bar to service, but homosexual conduct is incompatible with military service." Right. Alexander the Great was gay. You can find the link to the Gannon/Guckert GOP pedophilia and prostitution ring story here.
Update:(2/24) In this latest ABC story, we see that
The Army has recommended that seven 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers be discharged following allegations they engaged in sex acts shown on a gay pornographic Web site.Three soldiers face courts-martial on charges of sodomy, pandering and engaging in sex acts for money. Four others received nonjudicial punishments, according to a statement released by the military Friday.
I guess if you don't want to serve the meatgrinder in Iraq, you can always put your bod on the internet. That may be the only way to get around stop-loss if you're in the military.
82nd airborne
Fantastic! And I know that I am not a lone voice in the wilderness--we must end this war! Now, you have highlighted the way to do it. We must get American mothers to agree that in order to save their sons and daughters, they must do porn. I can't believe how simple it is now to save a life. The reactionary right will be kicking themselves, but I will get grand entertainment and the special knowledge that these people will be ALIVE. I win, I win, Thank Gawd, in this case for outrageous predjudice. -Timothy Hollis
Yes, Rev. TJ
A piece of surrealistic whimsy. It may well be that we are waaaaay through the looking glass, to check out from war through a webcam bare ass. Prejudice wins and keeps people alive, a backward way back from the fog and the jive. An outrageously perfect way to thwart the meatgrinder. I'm sure Rummy's rewriting the Army manual - again - in the face of shifting events stiffening the administration's (ahem) resolve.
"If not here, where? If not now, when?"
Army says "It's not because they're gay!"
Hot off the presses...
"The Army has recommended that seven 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers be discharged following allegations they engaged in sex acts shown on a gay pornographic Web site."
Here's the link to the AP article.
UCMJ, Sex and Machiavelli
Military law is not like civilian justice. Those in the US military are subject to a completely separate system called the Universal Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The term justice in the title is an anomaly that does not belong.
Through part of WWII, catching an STD was grounds for court martial. This continued until some epidemiologist was able to create a convincing argument that this policy led to the increased spread of social diseases. Then it became a court martial offense to fail to report a venereal disease.
I am not sure if masturbation is still grounds for court martial, though it was in the '60s and early '70s. Under the UCMJ, Adultery remains an imprisonable offense. Though it was my military experience (limited and involuntary as it was) that adultery was not only common, but sometimes flaunted.
Prosecutions for adultery are used more as a political and Machiavellian tool than for any "moral" purpose. Recently there was the Muslim Chaplin at Gitmo who was first charged with espionage, and later had his charges reduced to adultery, so that the military could at least charge him with something naughty.
Four Star General Kevin Byrnes, who had a sterling reputation, was recently fired for having an affair while legally separated from, and in the process of getting a divorce from his wife. Even his soon to be ex wife disagreed with the military finding of adultery. Reportedly, the General had strongly disagreed with the neocon agenda and the Bushies just had to get rid of him. Adultery charges were just the easiest way to accomplish this.
An Army physician providing services to military wives at West Point raped them while they were under sedation. In order to try and save the Army the embarrassment, the women were told that if they didn't drop the charges, they would be prosecuted for adultery because they were only partially sedated. Adultery was a misdemeanor in New York.
Homosexuality is, and has always been, a significant component of the sexuality of the US military. But when it becomes visible, when it is convenient, or just because, such behavior unfortunately gets prosecuted. Sometimes just like, though certainly more often than, heterosexual behavior.
More Strangness from the military
As I described in a comment above, the military has great difficulty dealing with sexuality in an adult and rational manner.
Homosexual movies are used as an interrogation tool?

FBI memos reveal allegations of abusive interrogation

WASHINGTON - Military interrogators posing as FBI agents at the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, wrapped terrorism suspects in an Israeli flag and forced them to watch homosexual pornography under strobe lights during interrogation sessions that lasted as long as 18 hours, according to one of a batch of FBI memos released Thursday.
Thanks to the hot studs of the 82nd
this site is breaking all-time records for visitors and page views in a one day span. Gosh, fellas, if we had only known, we'd have baked cookies, made nachos, and bought you all a beer. A big salute to our men in action! And it just goes to show that given the choice to google info on a Supreme Court nominee or a hot manly stud out of uniform, well, we know where America's heads are at, so to speak. Ride 'em cowboys! (Sailors too!)
