Apparently a Band of Screaming Nancies Does Not an Infantry Battalion Make
1LT Chew Toy or whatever his name is was handcuffing himself as a public spectacle so nameless strangers could mock and humiliate him (I don’t think this was his first rodeo with those cuffs). Waking up hungover from jello shots in a dark loft above the Chez Bleau with multiple cigarette burns in the small of your back and your ass burning like a Sailor’s paycheck on a four day pass was apparently not a clear indicator of a bad day developing. So 1LT Ben Dover figures an open act of civil disobedience or complex stupidity was a good idea.
Hope that works out for you dumbass.
But others were making news in DC on the very same subject.
Former NATO commander retired General John Sheehan demonstrated in a big way that real integrity usually manifests itself long after the officer evaluations are over.
And he didn’t pull any punches either.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A retired U.S. general says Dutch troops failed to defend against the 1995 genocide in the Bosnian war because the army was weakened, partly because it included openly gay soldiers.
That’s quite a claim but the General wasn’t through. He goes on to directly tie homosexuality to Socialism.
Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and other nations believed there was no longer a need for an active combat capability in the militaries, he said. “They declared a peace dividend and made a conscious effort to socialize their military – that includes the unionization of their militaries, it includes open homosexuality.”
He did go on to explain that there is more to an Infantry Battalion than knowing all of the lyrics and steps to the soundtrack from Chicago. This may actually explain why very few infantrymen go on to excel in flower arranging or flight attending.
“The battalion was understrength, poorly led, and the Serbs came into town, handcuffed the soldiers to the telephone poles, marched the Muslims off, and executed them,” Sheehan said.
Carl Levin was not about to let this senile homophobe off the hook that easily. For those who don’t know Carl Levin is Chairman of the Armed Services committee though he has never served a day in the military. So he demanded to know how he came to that conclusion which General Sheehan responded.
Levin, D-Mich., appeared incredulous. “Did the Dutch leaders tell you it (the fall of Srebrenica) was because there were gay soldiers there?” he asked.
“Yes,” Sheehan said. “They included that as part of the problem.” He said the former chief of staff of the Dutch army had told him.
So apparently General Sheehan disagrees with the great progressive military thinker Eddie Izzard.

But was there anything that gave specific examples of why the Dutch leaders came to that result?
Hey, I always herd while on sand hill that 1-19 and 2-19 had a little sugar in the tank. I don’t know for sure, I’m just sayin’
Mailed Foot!
On two occasions, both in 1979, I had contacts with Dutch troops, as part of a Nato exercise. I’m trying to remember the name of it, If I can find my old cruise books, it’s probably in there.
Anyway, my impressions of them were not good. They didn’t wear their uniforms well, their hair was long, and there was always a hint of marijuana about them. It might have been some weird cigarettes, because they also were fond of clove ones.
These Dutch troops were part of the base security detail, and we knew that if anyone attacked, they’d likely bail on us right promptly.
Now, I have heard much better reports of the current Dutch troops, but my initial observations, back in the gay, were not good.
I had some experience with them too Tim. Their officer corps is very professional, but their troops are disinterested, disloyal, and undisciplined. a Marine Regiment could annihilate them and take over that country as fast as the Germans did or faster.
