Army drill sergeant Edmundo Estrada, 35, has been accused of unorthodox therapy on a depressed trainee, having him dress up as Superman and moan as Estrada did some sexual things to him which Estrada apparently had seen on a porno movie involving a Superman character weakened by kryptonite and moaning as he is sexually tortured.
(Estrada also allegedly had a free-lance body-development documentation project going on, periodically photographing his charges? chests so he could, y’know, chart their progress.)
Let’s see what the American Psychological Association (they kicked him out already in the 80ies for questionable ethics) has to say about him - in a related context [bold emphasis is mine]:
“Some nonscientific organizations have attempted to convince courts that there is an actual scientific dispute in this area by citing research performed by Paul Cameron as supporting the existence of deficits in gay and lesbian parents or their children compared to heterosexual parents or their children. In fact, there is no scientific evidence of such deficits. Cameron’s research is methodologically suspect. His key findings in this area have not been replicated and are contradicted by the reputable published research. Unlike research that makes a contribution to science, his key findings and conclusions have rarely been cited by subsequent scientific studies published in peer-reviewed journals as informing their scientific inquiry. For a detailed critique of the research project on which Cameron has based many of his published papers, see Herek (1998).”
The American Sociological Association doesn’t like his methods either:
"At its August, 1986 meeting, the ASA officially accepted the committee’s report and passed the following resolution:
The American Sociological Association officially and publicly states that Paul Cameron is not a sociologist, and condemns his consistent misrepresentation of sociological research.[/quote]"
(this page also has a copy of the letter the APA used to kick him out).

I’m well aware that the OP will most probably ignore this, but pseudo-science with such a malign intent cannot go unchallenged.

“Homosexuals can’t swim, they attract enemy radar, they attract sharks, they nudge people when they’re trying to shoot, they always insist on sitting at “The Captain’s Table”… they muck about. Imagine… the fear… when you go to sleep with a gay man on board and think “Oh God, when I wake up, will everyone be dead?” You can’t run a ship like that.”

Now, “Imagine… the fear…” of a higher ranking soldier forcing you submit to homosexual acts.
Eustis sergeant guilty in “Superman” case
BY MIKE HOLTZCLAW
April 24, 2007, 8:29 AM EDT
A Fort Eustis drill sergeant was sentenced to six months in military prison after pleading guilty on Monday to a series of training transgressions including an incident in which he instructed a subordinate to dress like Superman and simulate sex acts.
Staff Sgt. Edmundo Estrada was court-martialed for his actions and relationships with low-ranking soldiers. In addition to his six-month confinement, he was given a reduction in rank to E4 and a bad-conduct discharge, Fort Eustis spokeswoman Karla Gonzalez said.
Estrada pleaded guilty to three counts of mistreating soldiers, as well as to violating regulations not to develop relationships with subordinates.
In an affidavit filed April 16, 2006, a soldier accused Estrada of sexually assaulting him. He said he came to Estrada complaining of depression, and that Estrada instructed him to dress in Spandex and pretend to be Superman, weakened by Kryptonite and undergoing sexual torture. The soldier said Estrada photographed him during these acts and threatened him if he refused to participate.
Soldiers from Estrada’s previous unit said he demanded to photograph them shirtless and wearing spandex.

What, you’re taking this asshole’s word at face value? Any other day, any other statement from this idiot would presumably cause you to bang your fist on the table in rage, but now that he throws something out that syncs up with your philosophy, you’re suddenly going to consider him credible?

You talk about wiping out a entire population and you try to compare lixy to the Terrorists, you have more in common with them. Ask Osama what he would do to a gay man in his army. Probably the same thing you would do, “remove this blight from humanity”

Realistically, you’ll always have gays in the army. If you’re a young gay male, you enjoy the company of young, healthy and vigorous other males. What better place to find them in droves than in the army? They’re then shipped off for months in the desert with few sexual outlets, outside of the occasional raping of a smelly local girl. Prime pickings are to be had just from the bi-curious and the desperate.
It’s a bit as if the Miss Hawaiian Tropic Team was heavily recruiting for Body Oil Applicator positions. You’d have a lot of enlistees, don’t you think?
The logical thing to do is to accept that you’ll have a gayer and gayer army until the majority of your troops are gay.
But that’s a good thing. Think of the demoralizing effect losing to a bunch of queers will have on the enemy. You might even win your next Iraq.
And while you suck at nation building, you could rule at nation decorating.

Being a pacifist, he probably wouldn’t. Though you’d probably nuke his.
