A soldier of the United States? elite 82nd Airborne Division has been convicted and discharged from service for performing sodomy on screen for a gay military porn website. Richard Ashley received a 75-day jail sentence, and will be discharged in accordance with the Army?s ?Don?t Ask, Don?t Tell? policy.
Ashley was one of seven soldiers that pleaded guilty to sodomy, behaviour detrimental to the Army and the unit, and drug use. One married soldier was also charged with adultery.
The 82nd Airborne is an elite US military unit, trained to deploy for battle within 18 hours.
The ?Don?t Ask, Don?t Tell? policy states that ?homosexuality itself is not a bar to service, but homosexual conduct is incompatible with military service.?
The 115th member of the US congress just signed up to repeal the controversial policy. Democratic Representative Susan Davis of California called the policy an unnecessary ?political invention.?
Davis stated that after considerable consultation, she now ?dismiss[es] the argument that allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military would negatively impact military readiness, as some have stated.? Davis declared her support for the Military Readiness Enhancement Bill, drafted by democrat Marty Meehan of Massachusetts. The Bill is yet to be put before Congress.
Currently any homosexual act is grounds for dismissal from any of the United States? armed forces.
Hey, W, how you gonna invade Iran when you won't let the homos play?
