A proper rant. More people need to hear this take. This glamorization of the military is a disgusting ploy to trap and break young men (and women now) to the will of the elites. If you can get a man to sodomize another you can get him to do anything...I'd salute you for this article but after reading it I don't think that would be appropriate lol.
Thank God someone is writing about the military sheep, they are anything but heroes, pathetic little state controlled violent thugs who lack the ability or guts to think for themselves and these stupid little tricks who back up the state criminals are the enemy of the people. A whole lost of them end up being violent toward women and often rapists . I know what these military so called 'heroes ' are like off duty having been rapid by one of these cowards aged 14, I am fucking sick 9f the media labeling them as 'heroes, they are stupid little abusers incapable of thinking for themselves so nanny does their thinking for them

Absolutely brutal take down of military faggotry. Any 18 yr old kid with any moral integrity who came across this would be saved from making a very bad decision. A great man doesn't let mistakes define him but learns and helps others in his community from making the same.
Thank you. We need to share this with as many young men as we can. And with women too, since women are also complicit in their misplaced adoration of the military gimp suit.
I should not have read this at my office . This had me rolling. The pictures with captions were on point hilarious. At one point I thought of joining the military but something always prevented me that I could not at the time pinpoint. Now I understand what it was.
It’s a blatant lie that the military represents masculinity. At best it is desperate-for-validation bravado. But usually, it’s closeted gayness. I’m writing an addendum. This rant isn’t over. Thank you for reading.
Brilliant. Your take on the Navy Seals was particularly interesting. One name that sprang to mind immediately when reading that was Tim Kennedy, the ex Navy Seal who fought in the UFC and got starched by fighters who never were anywhere near combat.
Yes, good point. They make them o be supermen. They are nothing of the sort. And remember: military instructors have zero exercise physiology and coaching knowledge or experience. Military training is all about training your mind to be subservient. It is not about promising athletic ability; Quite the contrary.
As someone who was in the army (Israel) more than 30 years ago (I left the country shortly after) I just wanted to say that if military is 'gay' then what would you say about Israel, a totally militarized society? I assume you meant combat(?) because there are other jobs within armed forces. I generally agree that military culture (your images look exaggerated?) is *stupid*, and was one of the main reasons why I couldn't fit in with this crap.
The whole institution of militarism is gay: sadomasochistic and homo-erotic. Obviously I don't mean that everyone who passes through it is gay. And if you're gay, I don't mind. What I am trying to convey here is that militarism is not the macho straight ideal that insecure teenagers think it is.
I’m not gay. And the topic of “homosexuality” was never on my intellectual radar. I know there are (serious) intellectuals who are not even sure how to deal with this, it is (very) politically incorrect (even on a scientific basis)…
For me army reality is the training for barbarism.
Barbarism is inside us naturally, but I suppose they need to get men to work together, efficiently, as one barbaric unit.
Now that I type this I suddenly see why you say: “sadomasochistic and homo-erotic.” I can see your point.
I am actually a gay man and I won't accuse you of homophobia and moreover I agree with your point of fetishization of military.
What I take an issue with is you using 'gay' and 'homoerotic' interchangeably with 'weak', 'emasculated' and 'having Daddy issues'. That simply is not true. Being gay is simply being sexually and romantically attracted to other men, not women. No more, no less. It doesn't involve any specific traits - neither good ones like 'gays have an excellent taste' not bad ones like 'they're weak and emasculated'.
For one, I might say that being a gay male and sigma male I'm much stronger than many straight men, many of them whom I knew being compliant cowards and obedient fools.
By no way do I deny your humanity due to the fact that you’re gay. In this post, I mostly refer to repressed homosexuality as an affliction of internalized abuse and unresolved trauma from systematic humiliation. Who isn’t traumatized? Militarism is a consequence of repressed homosexuality. Good for you for accepting yourself however you are. The true monsters are those who relish authority over others.
Well, then you perhaps needed to specify you meant exactly repressed and/or traumatized homosexuality, not just homoerotic desire in general, because gay desires can be very healthy and hot I assure you, and I do actually believe that maybe due to being men themselves gay men have higher masculinity standards than women in many cases.
But speaking of traumatized sexuality, there are actually also traumatized women who have 'rape fantasies', and actual straight men who started to have homoerotic desires out of abuse but are not really gay by nature, I think you meant those.
Either way, I think I got your meaning and I'm not too fond of fetishization of military and making it a masculine ideal myself because well, for me military is rather symbol of harsh discipline, punishment, restrictions, not really free masculinity. It's inherently based on hierarchy, represssion, restriction, etc. So how could it be truly masculine then? Rather it's BDSM sexuality if you know what it means, sadomasochistic paradise.
Oh you again use caricature 'gay' word here but I think I'd subscribe to you regardless, I love your interesting unconventional takes and I somehow think a real gay energy instead of caricature one would benefit your takes on masculinity even more!
Also, note that I use the term “gay” as the caricature gay stereotype, just like when we say “that’s so gay” to imply that something is hilariously weak. I assume you’re not offended, and that you are able to self-satirize.
If I was offended, I would have commented in a different way or not commented at all lol.
But yeah, it's still might be misleading for some people so you might want to be more precise in the future, but it's up to you, who I am to tell you how to write your stack!
I suggest to the author some resources about masculinity studies, essencialism referred to masculinity.- the concept of “real men”. Also essencialism applied to “women”, to “gays”. There is academic study on all these matters.
Do you think? There have always been gays in the military. They did there thing the mission was accomplished. When the gay was made a protected class it all changed. No way anybody is anything other than a member of the machine. When gay was given a class of people status. The mission of the military became compromised. That’s where we find ourselves today. Woke weak and waning. Wars and rumors of wars.

Well said! I'm glad more people are catching on the the gay mindfuck that is the military.
Excellent word play there with the 'salute.'

There is nothing scummier than a guy who takes pride in his military affiliation. Scumbags and closet-gay at best.

Excellent essay, and from a Psychological standpoint absolutely true, from the beginning to the end …..!!
Eloquent and insightful, thank you.
Thank you, Anthony. I can see it resonates with people. Can't imagine what they've been through in the militaristic sense.

I’ve got the fix, brother. it’s in the works…. thanks for this rant. rocket fuel.
Cheers. The military is gay. I'll keep saying it
"Blind submission and obedience to arbitrary authority structures is not manly at all."
The yes sir/no sir is kinda bdsm.
You really didn't hold back. It gives me stuff to think about.
True. Thank you. I was actually holding back with this one. My point here is that blind subservience is not masculine

You stumble upon a good point there: masculinity must be free.

This article is super fucking gay. I’m amazed you haven’t drowned in ejaculate.
Lmaoooo

No, the Jewish Military in America is Queer!
The AMERICAN Military in America is AMERICAN!
The American military is the gayest
Sorry, you don’t know anything about the Military!
I, on the other hand, have been in the AMERICAN
Army all my adult life and there are no Queers in
THAT Army!
Closet
Do you think? There have always been gays in the military. They did there thing the mission was accomplished. When the gay was made a protected class it all changed. No way anybody is anything other than a member of the machine. When gay was given a class of people status. The mission of the military became compromised. That’s where we find ourselves today. Woke weak and waning. Wars and rumors of wars.
There have always been gays in the military. Always. You only need do some research on the subject, or at least read this post to the end
I was apart of it in the 70s- gay dudes do the job it’s the special category that is improper.
The military is “trans” not necessarily “gay”
