An Honorable Last Wish For A Dying Marine

A marine who served in the Philippines in the early 1950s was dishonorably discharged for homosexuality. Now he is dying. "The Marines acted on his dying request in just two weeks. Last Friday in Florida, a small group presented Faulkner with his honorable discharge."

Freepers are of two minds - many just blast incredible hatred at gayness. But others try to rationalize their hatred to be something more politically palatable:

hoagy62 is horrified:
Dear God....we have sunk SO low.
2ndDivisionVet equates homosexuality to a multitude of actual wrongdoing:
What about all of those discharged for rape, adultery, theft, murder, arson, pedophilia, bigamy, robbery and etc. Where are their upgraded discharges? LOL
2ndDivisionVet hastens to follow up that he doesn't mind gays, so long as they're quiet lesbians:
I knew homosexuals in the Army. As long as they didn't bother me, what business was it of mine? I don't think I ever knew a female MP who wasn't a lesbian, now that I think of it. I once asked out a gal in my intelligence unit and she explained her situation and I dropped the matter. The sea is full of fish.
MIchaelTArchangel just wants to yell FAGGOT:
Obama is always claiming to look for compromise.

Why not split the difference between an other than honorable discharge with the word HOMOSEXUAL on it and an honorable discharge by converting the discharge to a general discharge with the word FAGGOT on it?
IronJack jams as many slurs as he can into one post:
There was no "wrong." He was a homo. The Marines forbade homos from serving. When they found out he was a homo, they discharged him, and since he had lied about being a butt pirate, the discharge was dishonorable. As it should have been.

The only ones "wronged" here are the Marines, who have been portrayed as the bad guys while the rump wrecker is a poor, unfortunate "victim."
driftdiver's jokes make no sense, but they are mean!
His dignity was lost when his rectum fell out.
stinkerpot65 smugly invokes Hell:
Of course, after his millionth year in the torment of hell, that discharge status might not seem so important.
Hulka explains the real problem - lying!
Yes. . .and the fact he lied on his enlistment papers (where you deny homosexuality).

Even before he was a Marine, he lied.
AppyPappy bis sure it wasn't just homosexuality:
Most likely, the Marines found out when he was arrested for Solicitation or was caught trying to molest a lower rank.
FlingWingFlyer knows the real problem is gay reparations!
Why don’t the boa-boys at the Pentagon REALLY give him his “dying last wish”. Give him back pay back to ‘53 until now! LOL! Give it to all of the others who were thrown out for being homosexuals too! This is bull****! As for the back pay, that’s coming. The “lawyers” just haven’t gotten to it yet. “Fundamental transformation!” WAKE UP AMERICA!

    Note to any FReepers reading this: With the exception of adultery, all of the activities listed here are actual crimes, as opposed to "stuff FReepers don't like very much that are nonetheless legal."

    If you're looking for reasons why most Americans -- especially younger ones -- think you're irredeemably crazy and stupid, equating consensual gay sex with murder and arson is a pretty good example.

    By which I mean, "please proceed," natch.

    1. What is you're freeper handle? And shouldn't you be off to the early bird special?

    2. Actually, after the early bird special, our Anonymous freeper runs the deep fryer at the Cluck Bucket for the late night meth addict crowd.

    3. Technically, the UCMJ bans all forms of non-vaginal sex. So a dude getting a bj from his wife is in violation of it just as much as two homosexuals.

      Why do you hate bj's, anon?

  2. Also, don't think we don't realize that what really burns you up is that "rump wreckers" like this guy actually served, while many of you Internet tough guys shamefully avoided it and have been wildly overcompensating ever since (cf. Nugent, Ted).

    1. Got some vets right here too, jack.

    2. Ya, freeper potato peeling, toilet scrubbing vets, who never even got to handle a b.b. gun while serving on the USS Minnow stationed in Philippines.
      The only action JimRob saw was fighting the STDs he got from underage prostitutes.

  3. Is Free Republic like the biggest, most devious troll in the history of the internet or do they really wake up in the morning thinking of brand new ways to offend damn near everyone? Just in one post they have ticked off people who have friends or family with cancer, people who actually like old folks, people who like veterans etc.

    Maybe FR is just a creation of the Democratic National Committee. If not then all I can say is that with friends like Free Republic the Republican Party does not need any enemies.

    1. FR is a creation of JimRob. By going on his purges in the past, he's created a forum composed of like-minded individuals that post crazy stuff.

    2. No, Free Republic offends you limp dick liberals.

    3. "Offense" is the only feeling that limp dick freepers can muster anymore.

    4. Inasmuch as most freepers seem to be men, except for the harpies/JimRob fan club, and as much as they hate women, I'd be surprised if most of them haven't considered sucking cock, either giving or receiving.

    With some of them I'd dispute the presence of a mind.

    But seriously? This gets a serious thread over there?

    If you are a Marine you are a fucking Marine. End of story. Dude got discharged in the 50s - blacks were still drinking from separate fountains back then.
    It has taken a while to correct the wrong - but it has been corrected. So it's good. (well, not good, it never should have happened, but it's right.) Respects to his brothers who did the right thing, and my gratitude for his service.

    1. Once again, well said. This guy was a Marine; our pet troll wasn't. End of story.

      Interestingly, the UCMJ restrictions on consensual sodomy -- which stopped being enforced back in the Bush years, if memory serves -- forbid anal and oral sex between heterosexuals, too. Funny how cute terms like "rump wreckers" never seem to apply to those folks. But then, Freepers have never been big on moral consistency.

    2. Freepers never seem to complain about the oral and anal sodomy forced on female members of the Air Force. They either ignore it or deny it, and they probably think any woman in the Air Force probably shouldn't be there in the first place.

    3. @Anonymous 7:49:
      Thanks. It really grinds me, this crap. Was never a Marine (I'll stay off ships if you don't mind, can't swim), but worked with them - tough sods and well worth all respect most people give them.

      @Anonymous 9:47:
      Is that shit still going on even now? The sexual abuse, I mean - I know the idea women shouldn't be in the military is still depressingly common even among otherwise sensible people.

      I'd heard it was getting better. It sounds worse right now, but only because the soldiers in question are not as afraid to report it. Anecdote, so usual pinch of salt to be taken with that statement..
      There is always going to be the sex for favors issue. Get a bad eval? Well, a quick fumble or an under desk job can certainly keep your cert current.

      Yet,
      Where the hell is the CO? Sat on his ass in an air conditioned office somewhere, door shut so sweat won't tarnish his impressive collection of "I was theres?"
      Sexual abuse is a poison that leaches down from the top. I'd be in favor of a simple solution. "One case, proven? One rank removed for every officer and noncom in the chain of command."

      It would stop that shit almost instantly.

  5. MIchaelTArchangel just wants a homosexual discharge is that so wrong?

  6. It looks like Strategerist has gone down in the FReeper annals of one of the best goats of all time, 'cause they're still talking about him.

    1. From that thread:

      "I think you are right. I have seen a web site where they quoted outrageous things supposedly posted by Freepers. I think leftists make those outrageous posts, then go elsewhere to point out their own posts as evidence of evil Freepers."

  7. I think leftists make those outrageous posts, then go elsewhere to point out their own posts as evidence of evil Freepers."

    So there are maybe three real FReepers, and all the rest are leftist trolls?

    Sounds implausible. I think that only a leftist troll would come up with such a theory.

    Maybe this commenter deserves a spotlight here?

    1. But that would be terribly cruel! By their own logic, it would make them a leftist troll, doomed to the zot and wandering the wilderness of DU.

      There are a few trolls who like to Poe FR (know a couple of them - it's childish but they enjoy it). It gets tempting at times, but it's an art to do it right!

      But most of the crazy is home grown.
