Just goes to show you how attitudes change when troops are needed.

"According to reporter Rick Sallinger, "A CBS4 Investigation into recruiting by the United States Army found recruiters telling potential soldiers that it wasn't a problem if they were gay. The recruiters told people showing interest in being a soldier to keep their homosexuality to themselves."
We encountered one recruiter who said 'I'll pretend I didn't hear that".

3. Yep. Which reminds me...

2. Great. So they can go in and be abused by their comrades in

arms while dodging bullets in Smirk's doomed occupation.

5. I'm not sure it's a bad thing.

Not because I believe we need meat shields, but because I believe it's people dishing out fairness, equality, and respect while looking at the rule and law and saying, " Fuck that, ".

I do also think people are just meeting their recruitment quota. To be honest those sort of jobs in the military will make or break your career.

placed upon military recruiters.

Its pretty strong.
