Grabbing a beer with the guys after work is a pretty normal thing Isaac Send a noteboard - 21/04/2010 07:45:16 AM
Honestly... I don't case how great a guy you are, you look like an incredible douchebag when you do that.


I can't really think of any occasion I or anyone I knew wore a uniform when they didn't have to, I used to keep a t-shirt and jeans in my trunk just so I could change out of uniform if I was going to be delayed from going home, but nobody changes out of uniform just to grab a couple beers after work or hit K-mart on the way home. You're not really supposed to be drinking in uniform but the loose policy is 'don't get drunk in uniform where civilians can see you make an ass of yourself', I've never seen anyone put on the uniform to go bar trolling, other than the post-COB beer your usual foremost goal is to get home and take a shower.

I'm in favor of repealing DADT, but this made me briefly reconsider beckstcw - 21/04/2010 05:29:45 AM 1415 Views
...did you read the article? They aren't in the military any more. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/04/2010 05:31:02 AM 423 Views
Really? A few months ago Lt. Choi was still in the military, I didn't realize he'd been discharged beckstcw - 21/04/2010 05:37:47 AM 924 Views
No, in or out it's a no-go Isaac - 21/04/2010 05:48:25 AM 923 Views
There needs to be a rule that stops soldiers from wearing uniforms in bars beetnemesis - 21/04/2010 06:55:37 AM 848 Views
But if you aren't wearing your uniform at the bar... beckstcw - 21/04/2010 06:58:33 AM 852 Views
You wear a big sign that says I'M AWESOME: ASK ME HOW *NM* beetnemesis - 21/04/2010 07:01:45 AM 387 Views

I've seen it. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2010 12:52:59 PM 845 Views
Not a very fair way to look at it Isaac - 21/04/2010 02:10:47 PM 891 Views
perhaps not on its own LadyLorraine - 21/04/2010 07:06:09 PM 823 Views
Sadly that's not that uncommon SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 07:27:45 PM 933 Views
to be honest, I've probably met plenty of wonderful military people in the bars LadyLorraine - 21/04/2010 07:41:30 PM 914 Views
Could be. SilverWarder - 22/04/2010 04:45:29 PM 852 Views
every think the problem might be the uptight college kids? *NM* random thoughts - 22/04/2010 05:10:08 PM 370 Views
Excepting possibly finals period, I'm pretty sure "uptight college kid" is an oxymoron. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/04/2010 07:07:58 PM 377 Views
uptight college kids don't go drink in Aggieville. LadyLorraine - 22/04/2010 07:17:17 PM 1078 Views
maybe I should have said stuck up college kids random thoughts - 22/04/2010 08:29:18 PM 990 Views
Uhm, no, college towns can be quite different. LadyLorraine - 22/04/2010 10:13:41 PM 806 Views
The navy and Marine do have rules against it at least for working uniforms random thoughts - 21/04/2010 04:06:10 PM 886 Views
Like Buzz Aldrin wearing his on Dancing with the Stars. Ugh. *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 21/04/2010 02:37:59 PM 396 Views
I'll bet he got permission to do that though. SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 03:26:43 PM 865 Views
well that was an air force uniform so it really doesn't count as military random thoughts - 21/04/2010 04:00:27 PM 1035 Views
I'll remind you of that next time you want air support ;-) SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 06:00:32 PM 908 Views
I am a Marine we have our own air support random thoughts - 21/04/2010 06:15:01 PM 816 Views
Yeah - some of it pretty good too but still all small stuff SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 07:26:12 PM 856 Views
The F/A18 does OK random thoughts - 21/04/2010 10:11:13 PM 785 Views
It's all right, but not the best choice SilverWarder - 22/04/2010 04:30:07 PM 850 Views
jack of all trades pretty much defines the Marines random thoughts - 22/04/2010 05:13:21 PM 1240 Views
Oh not entirely SilverWarder - 22/04/2010 09:54:21 PM 1131 Views
I second that UGH *NM* Aisha - 21/04/2010 10:30:35 PM 375 Views
Hm. That seems to violate some significant 1st Amendment rights. Ghavrel - 21/04/2010 07:00:59 PM 856 Views
you forget that the military sign away their rights. *NM* LadyLorraine - 21/04/2010 07:06:52 PM 406 Views
That's why I specified dishonorably discharged. They're no longer in the military. Ghavrel - 21/04/2010 08:43:22 PM 870 Views
*shrug* sorry, I'm a bit cynical over how much the military EVER lets go. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2010 10:13:51 PM 832 Views

oh puhlease Aisha - 21/04/2010 05:43:15 AM 913 Views
It's not a just a piece of clothing, but I guess we'll agree to disagree on that. beckstcw - 21/04/2010 05:45:52 AM 885 Views
I agree with you, Aisha. The Shrike - 21/04/2010 02:15:30 PM 1037 Views

Re: I'm on their side, BUT Aisha - 21/04/2010 05:57:50 AM 924 Views
Like I said, we simply disagree *NM* beckstcw - 21/04/2010 06:35:27 AM 420 Views
Thing is though SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 03:31:05 PM 966 Views
Well... it's a military policy. If they were protesting animal cruelty while wearing it, I'd agree beetnemesis - 21/04/2010 06:53:36 AM 1063 Views
What beetnemesis said. They're not talking about rights for all gays, but rights for gay soldiers. Tim - 21/04/2010 09:54:09 AM 826 Views
Sounds a bit like they are damned either way snoopcester - 21/04/2010 11:01:36 AM 868 Views
It's peaceful and non-violent. I see nothing wrong with them making their point in this in addition The Shrike - 21/04/2010 02:12:54 PM 835 Views
A soldier protesting a military doctrine has the right. Dannymac - 21/04/2010 02:28:40 PM 942 Views
Re: A soldier protesting a military doctrine has the right. Aisha - 21/04/2010 02:34:34 PM 858 Views
they don't have the right to use the uniform to make that free expression *NM* random thoughts - 21/04/2010 02:39:45 PM 365 Views
Take it up with congress, the regulations are clear, no such right exists, it is expressly banned *NM* Isaac - 21/04/2010 02:46:14 PM 335 Views
The uniform isn't just handed to you after Basic with no strings attached. beckstcw - 21/04/2010 03:04:32 PM 956 Views
The funny thing about it is SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 03:35:51 PM 961 Views
Re: The funny thing about it is Bored - 21/04/2010 10:12:57 PM 828 Views
Actually -the question isn't right SilverWarder - 22/04/2010 04:38:03 PM 737 Views

I think your attitude is likely to be common among active duty and vets alike. Sareitha Sedai - 21/04/2010 02:44:29 PM 854 Views
Actually, darlin', we don't have to convince them. LiterateDog - 21/04/2010 03:34:49 PM 848 Views
very true random thoughts - 21/04/2010 03:51:49 PM 893 Views
But these men didn't disrespect anything. LiterateDog - 21/04/2010 04:09:20 PM 919 Views
the problem is uniforms are about more than everyone dressing the same random thoughts - 21/04/2010 05:55:31 PM 903 Views
The statistics show that nearly 70% of Americans think gay men and women should serve openly. The Shrike - 21/04/2010 04:14:33 PM 815 Views
And going back to the Truman example, he doesn't even have to show Truman's courage. LiterateDog - 21/04/2010 04:17:02 PM 848 Views

That dude is all talk about everything. LiterateDog - 21/04/2010 04:27:07 PM 973 Views
Well he wasn't all talk about Health care SilverWarder - 22/04/2010 04:44:39 PM 943 Views
Yes, the main thing he has followed through on is the most disastrous. LiterateDog - 22/04/2010 04:59:45 PM 718 Views
Well, I'm not convinced on that SilverWarder - 22/04/2010 10:02:58 PM 1190 Views
and I think they will get it random thoughts - 21/04/2010 06:05:07 PM 977 Views

Le sigh. The Shrike - 21/04/2010 04:16:17 PM 814 Views
The bravey of those men is exactly what that 'clothing' stands for. LiterateDog - 21/04/2010 04:20:19 PM 927 Views
The above post was sarcasm, in case that wasn't clear... Dreaded Anomaly - 21/04/2010 04:43:44 PM 908 Views
I knew it was sarcasm. LiterateDog - 21/04/2010 04:54:11 PM 827 Views
