Man asks pal to break leg to avoid military service |
|
http://www.boingboing.net/ This young man enlisted the help of his friend to break his leg with a dumbell to avoid military duty in Afghanistan. Judging by the swollen lump on his shin, earlier attempts to shatter his tibia were unsuccessful. Graphic Video at link http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8805036058248630319

1. Wouldn't it simply be easier to come out as "gay"? |
|
So much damage, when easier ways are present...

7. You don't have to prove it. |
|
You simply have to admit to being gay or bisexual.

15. Of course, doesn't that in itself serve the purpose? |

6. Expect to see more such self injury in the future |
|
If we go into Syria and/or Iran like Bushco is frothing at the mouth to do, a draft is going to be instated. And like during the last one, people are going to be desperate to get out of it by any means possible, including injuring themselves, badly.
Another sad sign of the times.
