Barney_the_Dinosaur Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I wasn't planning on discussing the pros and cons of gays in the military as its not Thai-related, but I thought you'd enjoy this headline filed today by Associated Press.. Right you lot .....atten...shun.....hands on .....hips. Actually, this can be moved to the jokes section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProThaiExpat Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Ignorant comes to mind, but what is surprising is that he made this comment in the year the number of gays expelled from the armed forces he commands has dropped percipitously. Double ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoliticallyCorrect Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Is this an Issue for Pride Festival to get involved in? Should the community show solidarity with our Gay brothers in arms? Outreach across the globe? Is there to be a demo outside the US Embassy by the committee with a transgender show dressed as the Andrews Sisters? I am sure it will be on the agenda at the next meeting. Can Chair advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceBlondie Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 (Struggling to make this relate to Thailand, if that's even necessary): What do the Thai generals say? Actually, we had a long thread about whats-her-name, the drafted Thai soldier who got a less than perfect discharge (mental disorder, wasn't it?) for being gay in the Thai army. General Pace has 'regretted' his remarks but not apologized or said he's sorry, or changed his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 During the Vietnam war, some potential conscripts would do most anything to get out of the military. During their physical exam, they wore bras and panties, for example. They get to spend sometime with a psychiatrist though. The military didn't buy and they got a free trip to S.E. Asia anyway.
