Gays guilty of mass murder

March 19, 2010

I, the peaceful little chicken, cannot comprehend why lesbians and gays would want to join the military. Sure, a sweet chicken in a uniform looks quite sexy, but I prefer live out my fetish privately, without being roared at, submitting to blind obedience and killing other chickens.
Hard-boiled militarists don't like homosexuals anyways! A good example is the situation in the US. Of course, there are also gays and lesbians in the army, but no one shall know it. The DADT policy ("Don't ask, don't tell") forbids homosexuals to go out of the closet, on pain of being sacked. There is no room for openness and honesty in the army. A Senate hearing is trying to improve the situation, discussing the potential abolition of the policy and asking different experts for their opinions. Among them is John Sheehan, a retired US-Marine Corps general and NATO commander who has made some uniquely specious arguments against gay soldiers. He cites former Dutch chief of staff Henk van den Breemen, who had confided in him that the low fighting spirit of gay soldiers in the Dutch UN peacekeeping forces were partly to blame for the mass murder in Srebrenica in 1995. At that time more than 8,000 boys and men were killed after the Dutch peacekeepers in charge withdrew from the city.
Isn't that a pathetic attempt to link a vicious crime against humanity with dull gay stereotypes? The good thing is that the general has himself come out of the closet. No, not necessarily as gay. But he unveiled his own anxious, homophobic character and tried to distract from the real failure in world policy. And that very dishonesty shows that gay soldiers will be met with refusal, no matter the Senate's decision.
