i am so very sorry for your loss.
to the office of the army deputy chief of staff for 'intelligence' - guess what? there ARE gay people in the military. always have been always will be. what? a gay person cannot be awarded the purple heart? a gay person cannot F**KING DIE FOR THEIR COUNTRY? are you embarrassed? you SHOULD be. not because of major roger's sexual orientation. BECAUSE HE WAS KILLED IN AN UNJUST, IMMORAL AND ILLEGAL WAR. (how can one think someones sexual orientation is immoral and NOT the war in iraq? i just don't understand)
US Military Scrubs Deceased Gay Soldier's Wiki Entry
Posted by Pam Spaulding, Pam's House Blend
Man, how sick is this? The recloseting by the media and the military of Maj. Alan Rogers, who served in Iraq and was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart and a second Bronze Star was bad enough, but now someone at the Pentagon decided that even Rogers Wikipedia entry needs to be de-gayed. (Washington Blade):
The user on Monday redacted details about Rogers that appeared on the online encyclopedia site. Information that was deleted included Rogers' sexual orientation; the soldier's participation in American Veterans for Equal Rights, a group that works to change military policy toward gays; and the fact that Rogers' death helped bring the U.S. military's casualty toll in Iraq to 4,000.
Rob Pilaud, a patent agent and a friend of Rogers who attended the soldier's funeral, restored the information to the Wikipedia article the next day. Pilaud was among Rogers' friends who created the Wikipedia page.
The anonymous poster also provided the following comment in the "discussion" section about the article:
"Alan's life was not about his sexual orientation but rather about the body of work he performed ministering to others and helping the defense of the country," the poster wrote. "Quit trying to press an agenda that Alan wouldn't have wanted made public just to suit your own ends."
The IP address attached to the deletion of the details and the posted comments is 141.116.168.135. The address belongs to a computer from the office of the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence (G-2) at the Pentagon. The office is headed by Lt. Gen. John Kimmons, who was present at Rogers' funeral and presented the flag from Rogers' coffin to his cousin, Cathy Long.
The Army's public affairs office did not return a call seeking comment.........
