US Military Going To The Dogs

What the hell is wrong with the culture of the US military? Last week, an anonymous Army officer -- a colonel! -- retired, and posted to Twitter images of himself and his male lover, a junior officer in the Armed Forces, wearing leather dog masks. They are gay kinksters who are into sadomasochistic "pup play"
Well, he has been outed. Note that the person who posted this got his name wrong: it's "Connelly," not "Donnelly":

If you have the stomach, click that tweet and read the long thread, with lots and lots of images. If you want to know more about the "pup play" scene, here's a Men's Health article explaining it. Basically, it's for gay men who get off dressing up and acting like dogs, and having sex with each other while pretending to be canines. Real sane stuff there.
I swear, I cannot understand why the military puts up with this perversion in its ranks. I honestly thought character mattered. Did the military know what these weirdos were doing? How many others in uniform do this stuff? How many normal men would want to go into a military where perverts like this serve, and are tolerated? When our New Woke Military celebrates Pride, do they mean Pup Pride too? If not, why not? What are the boundaries for the military in tolerating this filth?
Seriously, though, what happened to respect for the uniform? What happened to respect, period? What happened to honor? We are in so much trouble in this country.

"But a copy of his Army retirement paperwork reviewed by Military.com reveals previously undisclosed details about Rhodes' career that show a soldier who served quietly and relatively unremarkably, despite the central role his military career plays in the fabric of the Oath Keepers. He was honorably separated from the Army after serving two years and seven months on active duty, leaving at the rank of specialist with a "temporary" physical disability, according to the document."
Ask yourself: Did you see any cadets or midshipmen wearing dog masks or sporting bondage gear at yesterday's Army-Navy game? No. Do you see this type of thing regularly when dealing with the military community? probably not. it would be better for all concerned if facts and figures took the place of cherry-picked stories that push a narrative from a source who lacks credibility. it's because of the degeneration of TAC from the standards of the Buchanan-Taki era to what I've been reading recently that I, a charter subscriber, cancelled my subscription last week.
This is not your father's military. Surely those whose families served will not themselves be participating. But the transformation to embrace this successor ideology mandated by civilian and military leadership is why recruitment is now failing from those families most likely to formerly enlist.
What are we fighting for?
The leadership has gone barking mad.
If he had on a MAGA hat, would you believe a left-wing story about how the Army is over-run with Trump supporters?
It follows the same arc - toleration, celebration and ultimately participation. Surely you have seen the recruitment advertisements that invite deviance - equal opportunity and equity for those involved in these "lifestyles."
Finally - my last word on the subject - retirees may only wear the uniform on occasions of ceremony and for other, strictly limited purposes. No one, active, reserve or retired, may bring discredit upon the uniform. Mr. Dreher should send all the evidence he has to the Secretary of the Army concerning a violation of AR 670-1, Ch. 23 (https://www.ar670.com/2018/12/21/wear-of-the-uniform-by-retired-personnel/ )
The Army's response should settle the matter.
oh stop being obtuse do you honestly think that someone involved in this behavior would show up in formation wearing a leather dog mask? as for your professional military journals not publishing about LGBTQ issues I dont doubt it but articles have been written about military LGBTQ. I suggest you do a internet search using your search engine of choice for the following phrase "military lgbtq" and you'll see millions of hits including this one

just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist
and what is preventing you from reporting it?
apparently you are unaware that this not openly shown. Also the Colonel had a relationship with a junior officer aka fraternization. maybe you should read the twitter thread to become fully informed rather than basing uninformed comments on what Rod wrote
