Uncle Sam

Gays in the military? Uncle Sam didn’t foresee this. Strangely, the automatic rifle and nuclear submarine he had personally given the thumbs-up to (the thumbs up being the only other gesticulation he had mastered in addition to his famous inflexible point) but the gays, somehow had slipped through his fingers. Now Uncle Sam, being the god-fearing man that he is, knows that a man can’t shoot straight ‘les he is straight’. He remembers a certain ‘twinkle toes’ in Vietnam who ‘damn near got his head shot off by Charlie cos he wasn’t thinking through the barrel!’. At times like these Uncle Sam would slip that queer white top hat of his over his eyes, think of his wife Charlemagne and pray to god so that he may forgive them.

Perhaps he was thinking through the 'barrel' though :)

Actually, we do have many gays in the military and are working hard across law schools across the company to force the government to make it openly acceptable. We won't let them recruit on campus until they change the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. As the bodies from Iraq pile up and there are fewer and fewer poor Americans from the sticks to be conned into the military, Bush may have to change his tune yet.
