Not only what this tweet says, but,
Many gay people are trained in combat, weapons, and war tactics.
So those trashy-masked-whites-suprema-cysts that hate gays better reconsider who they think they can attack.
Just saying.
tygerpsimatrix
I mean the Russian military can't even conquer Ukraine...
Feralkyn
"Extremely heterosexual army" ah yes the one that sells its male conscripts as prostitutes among the officers..?
scyyy
they're usually tougher know how to adapt stand their ground, teach themslvs. Imagine a third of the world wanting you dead for what you are

I was in US Army in the 80’s and early 90’s. I worked with lots of hard working, professional, gay soldiers. They exist.
4EVAGUNNER
There's a very strange line of thought that all gay men are weak and effeminate . No logic there whatsoever .
tounushi
Hilarious to me since the Russian army has a prison culture that literally prostitutes the conscripts.
minipancho94
It's even funnier when you realize how often Russian soldiers are raped and prostituted out by their commanders. Their soldiers are slaves.
OrigamiPigeon
This is just Gravy Seals being insecure in their own masculinity that they need to project on others.
Ikwilstroopwaffels
Alexander the Great was gay, or at least bi. You know... the guy who never lost a battle? Yeah.
jonlememe
Unless they invented a gun when a gay person pulls it, it doesn’t fire, otherwise I don’t see the point
Bbbrrr000ccckkk1
To be fair while I was deployed I wouldn’t say we were really fucking another army into the ground as it were while in Iraq & Afghanistan.
Bbbrrr000ccckkk1
I’d say we just maintained a fragile holding pattern at best. And in our absence it all crumbled back into a rudderless chaos.
Bbbrrr000ccckkk1
But that had nothing to do with have gays in the military and more to do with a lack of consistent clear objectives.

I've met the civilian half of the couple in the lower left and they seem like lovely people.
CorrugatedUrethra1995
Guess they never heard if the Sacred Band of Thebes. Literally all gay and literally one of histories most elite fighting forces.
PhilKenSebban
I used to work with a gay guy in army reserves. Was one of the angriest most aggressive dudes I've met.
Turbogoat
Combined Arms operations is all about respecting others differences, and something Russia is failing to do so damn hard.
Xander77777
"Diversity is strength" is a very literal axiom when it comes to armies. (Well, Russian losses are mostly ethnic minorities, but that aside)
Nuttsy
Probably both symptoms of the same core issue, where nobody really wants to be there.
OctaviusClausewitz
whatever a person likes, u go after their life and thew loved ones,they will fight tooth an nail with a motivation an invader can never have
GodOfDownvotes
ancient greeks had gay lovers in their ranks which made them fight stronger for their loved ones. if anything, profit.
SkamanSam
Ancient greek warriors took lovers on the battlefield. It was believed the soldiers would fight better to keep their lovers alive.
Utecr
So Russia is a downer and no fun while the USA has cake and romance. Weird flex MAGAs but okay.
Yacobs21
As we all know Alexander sucked at the military hence his nickname
FarQuad
Them russies sure do like putting wood in the ammo box.
ace5762
One of my favourite tidbits of history is when the eugenics fascist slave state sparta got defeated by an army of gay men.
ToSisPoS
I hate guns and abhor violence. I support armed resistance from anyone the GOP names “enemy” because I’ll eventually be listed too.
immortalbucket
It’s better all those pos magat terrorists believe we are unarmed and inexperienced. It will cause their defeat to be that much more swift.
push2play
Ironic. I'd be extra motivated to defend a country that would afford me these freedoms, whereas otherwise I'd only defend my loved ones.
haggerton
Except US military's operations are not defensive.
wylkyn
Reminds me of that scene in Philadelphia where Denzel's character gets mad that a gay guy hits on him and so he threatens him.
wylkyn
The gay guy, who is very tough looking, responds with something like "oh, you think you could kick my ass?"
Zickezacke
OP just don't get it. This shows if russia attacks the US most of Us military personal will eat cake and make out because 10% is enough
Zickezacke
to beat the russian armed forces back into the stone age.
Zickezacke
It's accurate.
masiakasaurus
Sparta had an entire elite regiment of super gay bois because they figured you'd fight extra hard (heh) for your boyfriend
zikicajovicic360
Praetorian Guard.
shadowsdustwind
They didn't fight back to back, only ass to ass.
dudeloveall
Nah man, nuts-to-butts in a phalanx
UnBobaLievable
Battle boners are a real thing. Lots of hormones whooshing around what with all the killing and what not.
Darklinkinfinite
Regardless, the Spartans also practiced Pedastry. To what extent is disputed but yeah
stukajr
"Come and Take It" takes on a whole new meaning, right?
BriefausdemGeist
No, you’re thinking of the Sacred Band of Thebes, which was from Thebes.
KalackKin
Or the Persian Immortals, who also did that.
CorrugatedUrethra1995
And they actually beat the Spartans at times.
Strawberrybell
They were made specifically to overthrow the Spartan Hegemony. They also did the job very well.
houpbajoup
I read a set of blog posts about Sparta by a historian, they didn't really have a military record significantly better than their neighbors
houpbajoup
What they did have was fantastic word of mouth reputation, and a fuckton of slaves. Way bigger proportion than the antebellum South.
ProphetOfTheFirstClaw
Logged in to comment, saw I didn't need to, upvoted you instead. ???

Still has a pretty good point.

Unlike the Pretty Okay Gang of Thebes, which was from Athens and very confused

It was a confusing time of history. Socrates was getting involved in everyone’s business and refused to drink the kool-aid. Hemlock, however
KaraokeLemur
Hilarious to me how anyone could think what you like to do with your genitals affects your capabilities at anything.
DoctahGhostly
Supposedly when it comes to straight men and women together in the same unit they’d be “distracted”. Or women would be uncomfortable.
blaghart
I mean I'd wager a lot of people's feelings about what they wanna do with their genitals affects their capabilities. Such as the dudes who
blaghart
are so repressed and so indoctrinated into toxic masculinity that it negatively impacts their empathy and capability to connect w/ others
Chibidragon
Being heterosexual male is only thing conservatives have, so they try to maximize the perceived effect of it.
Feralkyn
The same people think women can't be soldiers because they're weak, and since gay men are--in their minds--effeminate, they must also be
DoctahGhostly
I’d be the first to say women aren’t weak but when it comes to soldiers/marines they should have the same standards. If they can pass -
DoctahGhostly
- then I’m all for it but a weak link breaks the whole chain.
Feralkyn
That should be the case for any work!
Feralkyn
weak. It's a form of sexist disgust, at its core.
INeverWaitForIt
I mean, if there's one thing that wins wars, it's logistics, and if you've ever been to a power gay wedding, they're the deadliest mofo's
INeverWaitForIt
on the planet.
Tassyr
Maybe they should read up on the Theban Sacred Band.
micotyro
I take issue with that. Being a gay man severely messes with your ability to have sex with women.
KaraokeLemur
Ability, or willingness?
micotyro
Probably both I would assume.
RhinoNaut
Gunships don't care about genitals. But they are good for harvesting homophobes :)
rbudrick
Ships have a reputation for gay men gathering on them as well.
Mithi
Harvesting? No! Mulching on the other hand ...
Rogahar
It's been the conservative MO for decades and it's not gonna change soon. Being anything less than super-conservative-manly-man is >
Rogahar

If you juggle bowling ball with your genitals i think you have grab capabilities in a circus
Xenarion
ONLY MANLY MEN WHO LOVE WOMEN CAN HANDLE GUNS! /s
xoShiseUGA
The only thing men have over women is a far superior peeing ability. ?
tangybreath
I am super jealous of the long-distance/pants-on pee ability for when youre without a clean bathroom.

Its just aoe vs dps. Depends in what you need at the time.

You need to up your game then.

The internet says women pee faster. But this is about feats not speed ?
DarkSock
Roger that. I often wet my bed…FROM THE HALLWAY
KaraokeLemur
According to a paper from Princeton women's strength is around 67% of men's. Absolute strength, without regard to size or weight.
xoShiseUGA
Peeing at or on stuff is awesome, though. Carrying heavy stuff annoying
KaraokeLemur
Not going to argue that excellent point.
xoShiseUGA
Of course not. It is my point and therefore the best point? Now put down those heavy burdens and go pee on something for fun and merriment
Caliban1972
And that is so important in our society.
KaraokeLemur
1) Heavy is still heavy, even in our society. 2) She claimed superior peeing equipment was the only thing men have over women and that's bs.
Caliban1972
Given how our society works, physical strength isn't really an advantage or disadvantage. It's simply not important in any meaningful sense.
literatewench
That's why we have superior communication skills, so we can coordinate our attacks as a team.
KaraokeLemur
Superior? Different, at best. When it comes to fighting, report might even be more efficient than rapport.
SweatyNoah
Conveniently most combat is performed with equipment that doesn’t require raw lifting strength.
KaraokeLemur
It still doesn't magically appear where it needs to be used. Twentyish years ago or kit weighed 35kg if you weren't carrying the radio or >

anti-vehicle mines. I can't imagine it getting much lighter now that everyone is wearing armour as well.
