BUT, CAN THEY HELP KILL PEOPLE?

There's a new media campaign to drive some individuals currently serving in Iraq out of the British Royal Engineers. It stems from a private video that was shot in the southern Iraqi town of Shaiba:

THESE sickening scenes are from the secret lesbian sex show video at the centre of a Ministry of Defence investigation.

The depraved film of two pretty girl soldiers performing degrading acts as drunk squaddies jeer them on was shot six weeks ago—inside a British Army tent in the heart of the Iraqi war zone.

But last night the two blondes and other troops involved—, all members of the Royal Engineers—, were being quizzed by the Royal Military Police Special Investigation Branch.

Top brass launched their urgent probe into the squalid show —which took place in Shaiba, near Basra airport— after the whistle was blown by an outraged soldier from another regiment.

Back in the Clinton years, I thought the idea of gays serving in the military was fine. I still do. If someone could kill the enemy while they were on the job, I couldn't care less what they did in their free time.

I have a few gay friends and they can be vicious vindictive pricks. Trust me, in a war, it would be far better to have them on your side.

That said, driving men out of the forces because they enjoy watching girl-on-girl action seems even more absurd.

Seriously, if that were a matter of policy, who would be left to fight for us?
