Military Recruits Gays

Did I miss something/ i found this interesting and disturbing at the same time.

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.

Everything the government does is screwed up these days.

Like crying that they need more translators in the army after firing a couple of hundred for being gay?

Good point Izzy. That was a real stupid move on their part.

Yeah, like that.

It would be a strange thing if Bush decided to drop the don't-ask-don't-tell policy out of sheer desperation. Doubtful, but you never know--if he needs enough people and doesn't want to reinstate the draft.....

Naw.....
