I'm fucking mad that my cousin is going back to the middle east for his FOURTH tour of duty. This time, his Marine unit is going to Afghanistan and was told that they'd be lucky if half made it back from this mission.

Fucking stupid shit that pisses me off. I'm so god damn angry this is even happening. He wasn't even supposed to do a third tour - he's pissed too. And he's not alone.

Fucking stupid fucking shit. His poor mom.

Fuck. That just fucking SUCKS fuck!

I'm so glad that my hubby hasn't gone overseas yet. (Even though he wouldn't be sent to Afghanistan)

But his 4th tour?! OMG!

He should totally jump off a roof and break his leg or something

Remember...Gay doesn't work anymore...not in today's army.

All that'll do is get him harassed.

4 tours for any branch is uncalled for in such a short time. Isn't his re-enlistment up soon?

Nope...they say "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" but everything I've heard and read is to the contrary.

I can tell you from my experience with the Navy (I come from a military family) most of the rank and file as well as lower ranking officers don't care if you are gay. It can be a career vulnerability though if you upset people up for other reasons. Of course if you went on TV and declared your love for your same sex partner they'd have to do something about it. But other than that I've never noticed them caring. Politicians and five stars are the only ones who have to care.

That sucks though that he got deployed for the fourth time. I am sorry to hear that.

Exactly.
Even back when my father was in the air force during the 70's, the only time it mattered was if you were caught screwing in the shower by the MPs or something. If they knew, they didn't care otherwise. A gay officer/enlisted/whatever dies the same as a straight one.

That sucks Diva.

Your cousin did more than his fair share. Why can't they let him stay home for a change?




Gone for a while. Be back when I'm back.
