Army Keeps “Gay Soldier”
Christopher Mastromarino must have a guard-ian angel:
A soldier with an exemplary service record will be allowed to finish out the remainder of his term after he was apparently targeted for dismissal by his Army superiors because they think that he is gay.
…
The charges alleged that Mastromarino sexually harassed other male soldiers in his unit with unwanted touching and verbal comments — charges the decorated service member denies. He was ultimately convicted of three counts of simple assault.But the Maryland native told PageOneQ that the prosecution’s case was filled with conflicting testimony, here-say and rumors, and a questionable timeline.
In addition, according to sworn testimony during the trial, two prosecution witnesses said that they did not consider the physical contact between themselves and Mastromarino to be an assault, although the command chose to bring those charges forward against him.
“In the Army, we hear a lot about Army values,” Mastromarino told PageOneQ. “I don’t see that in this case. I don’t see Army values being put towards me.”
Well, the army needs as many men as it can get, so we suspect they bent their archaic rules a bit.
Sure, they’ll “let” us stay in when they need more meat for the slaughter. Fucking disgusting. They’ll just kick him out when they’re done using him but before he can collect any benefits. Scumbags.
As Groucho Marx once said, “I’d never join a club that would allow ME to be a member!” To me, being rejected by our current military- fighting wars for oil that make us less safe- is a badge of honor. What I feel for Mastromarino? Nuttin Honey. If he wants to meet hot men, there are other ways.
It’s a shame to see fine people wishing to serve their country subject to discipline on the basis of sexual orientation. I hope this fine looking young man has the chance to serve again, if he wishes to, one day. If all gay and bi service members actually departed the military instantly, America’s armed forces would effectively be gutted. Congress and the President need to fix this now.
I think gay & lesbian military should set precedents by asking and telling” and keeping paper trails.
Is that guy for real? He thinks this soldier joined to meet hot men? are you fucking kidding me? he joined to get money for college because his family couldnt afford it… Christ read the whole story before you comment on things….
If you are tuff and you have a low voice
you cannot be omosex (many times homosex do have a low voice)
If you are kind
you have a soft voice and you behave with humanity, you most be a homosex.
In the army you cannot be kind to anyone
only who allowe is brain wash and do not have
humanity can make career, there is no space for humanity if you want to remain in the army, all they have to look alike.
This is the probable real reasons to the metter.
The rules of any lobbie is that there cannot be people with personality everyone has to standarized.
That is why Mastromarino had the honor
of the court martial,
The court martial gave Mastromarino the chance of getting out of a negative experience because he had the chance of been a martir for part of the country which still believe humanity.
Before all a soldier has to be primarelly human
in his duty, United States of America has been founded with the phrase: “IN GOD WE TRUST”
The US Army has to stand on human bases acording
to the most important article of the costitution
wich in GOD remitt the country future.
