Sure not the Army I served in any longer

U.S. Army Spc. Sabryna Schlagetter kisses her wife, Cheyenne, after returning home to Fort Carson, Colorado, with other members of the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team on Friday, November 14. The couple married on Valentine's Day this year before Sabryna deployed to Afghanistan

Giggity.

What a waste of a beautiful woman. Good luck with y'all legalized perversions....

Returning veterans usually do hug and kiss loved ones upon return.
This deserves no more attention than any of them.

Those returning in a flag draped box or a med flight deserve more.

Yes it is. You just chose not to see it.

I know gays were serving in the military when I was in, and it hasn't been that long since I got out (18 years Army). But, they were not embracing and kissing in front of the other returning families and for the TV and reporters cameras.

I wonder, if it were two guys, would you be as open minded?

You misunderstood. I'm not "open-minded" as you state. I stated that the military is not as "different" today as it was many years ago as was insinuated by the OP. It had as many gay members then as it does now... probably no more or less than the average population.

My bad then. And I agree about the number of gays in the military now and in the past. But it wasn't in your face like it is now since "Don't ask, Don't Tell was repealed by Obama. BTW, I am the OP

 

[Younggun]

Is it "it your face" when a man runs up and kisses his wife upon returning home.


Sorry, but that action is not related to any agenda IMO, it's just a natural response. It's not about being in anyone's face but the one who was missed.

I remember what my dad used to say about homosexual men in the Army during WWII - "I won't say anything against 'em. Their country needed them and they did their part, just like everybody else." Everybody knew they were there but as long as no one definitively outed themselves, no one cared. They had bigger issues on their minds.

All of which leads me to think that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Yeah... that's a very good point.

Probably b/c no one gave a shit about who they were banging, straight or gay...worried about making it through the war was enough on the mind, I'm sure.

Selfless service anyone? This is a wildly selfish lifestyle incompatible with good discipline and order. But then again, that's the goal. Socialists have relentlessly tried to rewire our culture by going after one cultural institution after the next.

A perverted abomination, another way the progressives are trying to tear down our American tradition and heritage. The recent conservative tidal wave is a clear reaction to the repulsiveness these progressives are forcing on us.
