Perhaps your publication would have been better served by contacting the owner of the website and purchasing advertising?

Personally I have no desire to click these links and could care less about that issue.

Why are you wasteing our time with this subject, I like the gunny could care less, You should have asked the forum owners before you put your crap on a military site, just my .2 worth.

Oh yeah, there are just millions of gays who want to join the forces. Why the need to always inform straight guys about this gay stuff?
