A "Dancing Soldiers" Video That Makes The Don't Ask Don't Tell Jokes For Us
By James Brady RyanMay 12th, 2010, 3:59 pmComments (7)Guys, if you already make the joke about gays in the military, what is the internet supposed to do? Just, like, watch your video?
Says the creator of the video:
Created by Codey Wilson and his elite step team of volunteers. Don't give us a hard time for this, please? We're just a few good men trying to enjoy ourselves and get this deployment over with. No one is gay... that we know of. Not that there is anything wrong with that! (political correctness) As a young aspiring film maker I was forced to release this early due to our friend in Afghans high school lip sinked music video. You know you love it. Enjoy it. Spread it. Live it.
And enjoy it I did. My only quibble would be with the song choice, as I tend to break out in hives when I hear Ke%*&ha's music. But that aside: kepp on doing what you're doing, guys. Here's wishing you a safe return and as much auto-tuned pop jetsam as you could wish for.

It's funny and all, but it's sad to think that if a gay soldier does the same thing, he gets fired or worse.
its actually scary, the dude in the armor with no clothes can get court marshaled out of there! =\ but obviously if they have time to do that, then i say bring them home =]
I just want the guy in the first shower stall to come home with me...he's a cutie.
funny that the same shit people have been doing on deployments for years can be videotaped now. it's not gay, they're just blowing off steam
Could you imagine if Blacks were not allowed to be in the army and a bunch of soldiers made a videotape of themselves in blackface?
Except for the fact that the video-maker SAID it's a parody of what the Army could be like if DADT was repealed, I'd just think it was funny. Whenever a bunch of young men start fooling around, this IS the kind of shit they do. These guys just have better bodies and bigger equipment.
Oh, I'm not upset about it, I like it. But hopefully the men in this video harbor no ill-will towards gays — gay guys doing the same thing can get fired or bashed.
Now you say something
