Dude, he served in MI
I used to listed to Steve Czaben everyday, and he had this funny thing where he grew up “on the mean streets of McLean Virginia” where some people were so broke they had carports and above ground swimming pools. It always cracked me up, because McLean is about 2 lifetimes outside my price range, and that’s if I save money for once.
Anyway, this shit about Breanna Manning is absolutely killing me:
A military psychologist who treated Bradley Manning said there was no support available for him to cope with his gender identity disorder and that Manning suffered greatly in a “hyper-masculine environment” that was hostile towards gay soldiers.
Um, dude. You served in MI. You smuggled out the info on a Lady GaGa CD, and it didn’t draw anyone’s attention.
Seriously, name a less hyper-masculine group than MI. I have nothing against MI, but the only people less hyper-masculine are the guys at DLI. You could be sitting naked in a tub with Andy Dick, Antoine Dodson and Elton John while listening to Cher and stand a better than average shot of being more hyper-masculine than a random 35 series dude.

Consul-At-Arms: multiple published accounts dating back to at least June 2010 have consistently said it was a CD-RW which Manning had labeled as containing “ripped” Lady Gaga tunes that was used. (He may even have actually put some tunes on it.) Apparently the little dipsh!t was actually using a workstation with a working CD-RW or DVD-RW and adding files to the disc while he worked.
Either way his chain-of-command f-ed up bigtime on that issue, let alone the issue of their not terminating his access well before the leaks.
Might/could be, Hondo. I’ve been wrong before.
well since everybody’s bagging on MI for being a bit less than testosterone fuelw killers, it must be a bitch to be Navy Intel. those squids must fart glitter and piss rainbows (sitting down of course). of course how that distinguishes them from other squids is anybody’s guess….
Breanna saw Starship Troopers too much and thought MI meant “Mobile Infantry” when he signed up to shower with all those hot men…
@97
“knuckle dragging thugs”** of the MI community….
HELL YEAH ROMEO!! “Love to hump, always in the bush”.. ha ha
I am MI. Reclassed from 19K. Most folks now where I came from and what I been up to. I am masculine enough for momma.
Old coot stepping into this muck…
The old 96 series of MI folks hung out with the ultra masculine types, and so were pretty masculine. The senior officers in this bunch just loved to make their MI Battalions out-infantry the infantry; never mind doing our MI jobs. We called ’em Squints then (‘cept those commanders. We called them other things).
The old 97 series we called Spooks. Some were more masculine than others, all were about 15 degrees off plumb. Some of us were a bit more out there.
The old 98 series were Wireheads. They never thought like normal humans. Ultra masculine seemed a rarity. I have some two-beer stories about that bunch. I think today’s more bizarre thought processes often start here.
I’ll stop now, so my off kilter thought process doesn’t kick in and scare you all away from a good discussion…
I was at DLI in RU 97-98, I was a 98 . I’ll admit we had a fair share of gay men in all branches. But some women made up in masculinity! Was a strange place. Went from coed barracks to Drill Sergeants! Was called Defense Love Institute for.many reasons!
