army recruiting: peter pace style

here's a little story of a kid looking for a job online who ended up getting bigoted, hateful e-mails from an army recruiter...

"Corey Andrew had his profile and resume posted at Careerbuilder.com, and it caught the eye of Army recruiter Marcia Ramode, who contacted him. He wasn’t interested in a position in the military, particularly because of the ban on gays and lesbians in the military. When Andrew informed Ramode that he is gay, and believed that the DADT policy was wrong, the two engaged in a three-day email exchange that included statements by Ramode, in her official capacity as a recruiter, that boggle the mind."

here are some excerpts fromt the e-mails the recruiter sent to mr. andrew:

"GO BACK TO AFRICA AND DO YOUR GAY VOODOO LIMBO TANGO AND WANGO DANCE AND JUMP AROUND AND PRANCE AND RUN ALL OVER THE PLACE HALF NAKED THERE.”


oh, where to begin with this one....again, the bumper sticker logic that freedom is not free. nice to know that team america-rationale has made it to the armed forces, and does the army not have spellcheck or are the caps locks busted? and how did gays supposedly descend from the native americans? donde los yikes, indeed.

No silly, gays are from Africa! You know, where AIDS came from having sex with monkeys!
Important people "with roots" have a Native American heritage. After all, ethnicity doesn't count unless your people are known for casinos and cheap cigarettes!
