From the You Can’t Make This Shit Up Files

Remember the Pentagon document that classified homosexuality as a mental disorder? Well, the Pentagon has made amends, and now classifies homosexuality as one of many reasons for retirement or discharge, alongside fear of flying and bedwetting.

The guidelines outline retirement or other discharge policies for service members with physical disabilities. The rules include sections that describes other specific conditions, circumstances and defects that also could lead to retirement, but are not physical disabilities.

Among the conditions are stammering or stuttering, dyslexia, sleepwalking, motion sickness, obesity, insect venom allergies and homosexuality.

"More than 30 years after the mental health community declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder, it is disappointing that the Pentagon still continues to mischaracterize it as a 'defect’,” said Rep. Marty Meehan, D-Mass., a member of the House Armed Services Committee.

Pentagon spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said "homosexuality should not have been characterized as a mental disorder. A clarification has been issued."

Thanks a bucketload, Cynthia.

Methinks the only people wetting the bed in the military are those who completely lose control of their bodily functions at the mere thought of A GAY!!!

Ooga-booga, Sergeant Sister!

*pssssssssssssssss*

D’oh!

Btw, how many people do you think have been discharged in Iraq for stuttering?
