Gay Website Not “Moral,” Says Army Advertiser

uniform-1.jpg
General Peter Pace may be gone, but his distasteful gay opinions stand strong in the army:

The Army, Navy and Air Force unwittingly advertised for recruits on a website for gays, who are barred from military service if they are open about their sexual orientation.

When informed Tuesday by USA Today that they were advertising on GLEE.com, a networking website for gay professionals, recruiters expressed surprise and said they would remove the job listings.

“This is the first I’ve heard about it,” said Maj. Michael Baptista, advertising branch chief for the Army National Guard, which will spend $6.5 million on Internet recruiting this year. “We didn’t knowingly advertise on that particular website,” which he said does not “meet the moral standards” of the military.

Oh, please! GLEE’s so tame. We’d love to hear what Baptista has to say about us.

I have zero sympathy for any gay or lesbian who wants any part of the our military, then bitches about being dissed. If they were making us safer, defending our nation, then I could understand. Pissing off the world and stealing its oil is a different matter. I feel sorry for the poor dead and displaced Iraqis, not queens having a hissy fit. “Boo-hoo, they say I’m immoral.”
