Military ‘inadvertently recruits gays.’

USA Today reports that 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.” Many of the thousands of jobs posted “were hard-to-fill positions requiring advanced training, although some ads sought to fill core combat slots at a time when the Iraq war has challenged recruiters to meet goals.”


An Army National Guard spokesman said that it never “knowingly” advertised on the LGBT site, which does not “meet the moral standards” of the military.

1. What are the "moral standards" of the military?

Any organization that indiscriminately bombs and shoots civilians who can't fight back and can't get away doesn't seem to me to have much room to claim a "moral" high ground. Particularly when they spirit the murderers out of the country, go through a sham trial, and turn the killers loose.

2. Didn't you get the memo?

Kissing a person of the same sex is 10 times worse than bombing children... Why didn't you know that?
