Darren, you’re being played…

Soldier: Policy on Gays May Be Shifting

WASHINGTON (AP) — Even if no one is asking, Army Sgt. Darren Manzella has been telling anyone who’ll listen that he’s gay - without serious retribution so far from the military. Manzella, a medic who served in Iraq and Kuwait, has acknowledged his sexual orientation in national media interviews and again on Tuesday in a Washington news conference.

“This is who I am. This is my life,” said Manzella, who received a combat medical badge for his service in Iraq. “It has never affected my job performance before. I don’t think it will make a difference now. And to be honest since then, I don’t see a difference because of my homosexuality.”

“This particular soldier’s unit only recently returned from the war to Fort Hood, Texas, so it’s premature to speculate on any future actions until the young man’s situation can be considered by his chain of command,” [Paul Boyce Jr., an Army spokesman] said in a statement.

Darren Manzella is being delusional if he thinks the Army has had a change of heart. Just take a quick glance inside the walls of Walter Reed, or pay a little more attention to who it is that makes up the majority of the homeless on your street, and you’ll get a good idea of what the army thinks of it’s veterans - once they’ve outlived their usefulness. And they (for the most part anyways) are not gay!

They need him. They’re using him. And soon, they’ll chew him up and spit him out.
