U.S. army investigates 82nd Airborne members on gay porn website

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - U.S. army officials are investigating allegations members of the celebrated 82nd Airborne Division appear on a gay pornography website, a spokeswoman said Friday.

Authorities at Fort Bragg, N.C., have begun an inquiry into whether the paratroopers' actions violated the military conduct code. Division spokeswoman Maj. Amy Hannah declined to say how many paratroopers are involved or identify their unit within the division. A defence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said up to seven soldiers are involved.

Hannah said soldiers questioned will be allowed to seek legal assistance but she declined to say if any one had been charged.

The military-themed website does not appear to make any direct reference to the 82nd Airborne or Fort Bragg. The registered owner of the website's domain name lists an address in Fayetteville, N.C., the city that adjoins Fort Bragg.

Is this one of Jeff "Bulldog" Gannon's web sites? Perhaps the military should change their policy to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Wave Your Weinie in Front of a Camera."

3. Army/Air Force guys always show up in these things. Why?

They're young, and also they get paid squat for what they do, so posing on a site, or doing some gay porn is pretty easy money.

4. It's beyond my understanding

what the powers that be think is wrong with that. Young people, hormones raging :shrug:

5. The military will get to the bottom of this....

(alright, perhaps poor choice of words), much, much much faster than all of the far more important issues such as not enough armor for the troops, the torture of prisoners, recruiting and retention failures.....do I need to go on?? Ummm...of course I don't.

And just wait for all the Christian right wing nuts to go off about the perverted gays and their porn as though there aren't soldiers who take part in straight porn or pick up hookers.

"It's those filthy gays, now they're recruiting our brave soldiers..." :mad: :rant:

Right Wing Fundamentalist Christians = :puke:

6. i'm horrified -- someone put some of their dvd's

in my collection!

that's just wrong.

:evilgrin:

i guess i'll have to watch them and be outraged that there are military guys in them.

[sui generis]

9. you have a collection too?

Alphabetized or categorized?

:evilgrin:

[xchrom]

10. both.

i have a lot of time on my hands?
:bounce:

hey, i actually heard some one use sui generis in a sentence.
don't ask me now what they said -- but i remember thinking -- wow.

[swimmernsecretsea]

11. Uh, can I borrow one?

Just want to see what our armed forces are doing for us. Nothing special. Just curious. Purely research.

[sui generis]

12. I have done extensive research on this topic

Many of them are playing solitaire. Sometimes they play baseball, and one or more of them will catch or pitch or d all of the above.

Just fine young men entertaining us with cards and sports - what could be more innocent? :shrug:

7. What I'd like to know is...

...how the hell something like this even GETS reported? By reporting it you are essentially saying that you've visited the site, and by saying you've visited the site - which is a gay site - you're basically violating Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

"Yeah, uhh... you see, I'm not gay or nothin', but I was on this website where there were lots of naked guys, uhh... doin' other naked guys.. uhh... uhh... I was uhh... looking for the official White House webpage... uhh.. and... uhh... you'll never guess who I saw!"

[sui generis]

8. nope. not gannon, fer sure.

I'll never tell . . .

:P

This is so reediculous. They're JO vids sold primarily to a gay audience, which doesn't make them "gay porno" - that's why they have to do "inquiries" to see if any rules were really violated.

Salacious advertising for Dirk Yates though.
