South Korea military accused of entrapping gay soldiers
The United Press International reports that the civic group Center for Military Human Rights has accused the South Korean military of using an app for gay dating to entrap gay members of the military. Apparently, sodomy is still illegal for military members there;
“We have secured evidence the army’s central investigators used a gay-specialized dating application to employ trap investigation techniques while violating the soldiers’ human rights” [Lim Tae-hoon, head of the Center for Military Human Rights] said. “We will file a petition regarding army chief of staff Gen. Jang Jun-kyu and [three others] with the National Human Rights Commission of Korea.”
According to Lim, investigations began after the army claimed a video of a soldier on active duty and an officer having sex surfaced on South Korean social networks.
The army undertook unlawful means of investigating the case in the course of identifying those involved, Lim said.

This is too funny, mainly because of how they behave in general. If you’ve ever been on a float from Sasvegas and participated in Foal Eagle, you know exactly what I mean.
I was stationed on Camp Casey in the mid 90’s, so yea, I’ve seen it first hand
Camp Pelham ’93 myself.
The first thing I thought of was Chinese finger traps. Fleshy ones.
The essence of entrapment is being drawn into doing something by law enforcement that you would not otherwise do. If the offense is being queer, well…
I thought same-on-same sex was a form of birth control. What’s the problem?
Wow, so for once they aren’t going after the US Military? Shocker.
Does the ROK army still have a draft? If so, I suppose that’s one thing. If not, then they knew that buttfuckery is not allowed when they signed up, so…
Something about having their cake and eating it too….
Yep, it’s a conscripted military, and they’re pretty aggressive about ensuring people serve. So I guess if a South Korean is homosexual, he’s got to holster it for a couple years.
I agree with the others, though. The ROK should have other things higher on the priority list.
Yeah…..right…..their army, their rules. They’re as tough as they come (pun unintended), living under the perpetual shadow of NDtBF and the ChiComs.
Take yer bitchin’ to someone who cares and can do something about it. Like…..say…..the UN.
Start with “concern”, then on to “a strongly worded letter”, then “foot stomping”, then a “resolution” (that everyone will ignore),……
Cocksuckers?
I wanted to post the picture of the dude with a big male chicken, but I don’t know the code to post pictures on this site.
What was it they said again about straight males who seem to have a preoccupation with homosexuality being repressed homosexuals themselves?
I don’t know, Joe, but it sounds as if you answered your own questions. That’s a silly and useless device to use in reply, that those of us who find queerhood repugnant are repressed queers. Does that work for everything with which one disagrees or just homosexuality? I abhor rapists. Am I closet rapist? I regard bestiality as sick and twisted. Does that mean that I really want Rover? Moron.
IMHO they have bigger things to be concerned about starting with their Northern brethren ruled by a nearly dickless fat cheese-munching despot.
Here we go with the bullshit NGO’s again.
This is one of those topics that is a no-go for people at an office. Cripes, nothing will say “See me in my office now” faster than a perceived or misperceived gay slur. Put a rainbow and LGQBT? on your screen saver, though, and you’re golden.
KATUSA’s gettin’ jiggy wid it.
