Army officials are investigating allegations that members of the celebrated 82nd Airborne Division appear on a gay pornography Web site, a spokeswoman said Friday.

Authorities at Fort Bragg have begun an inquiry into whether the paratroopers' actions violated the military conduct code.

Division spokeswoman Maj. Amy Hannah declined to say how many paratroopers are involved or identify their unit within the division. A defense official speaking on condition of anonymity said up to seven soldiers are involved.

Hannah said soldiers questioned will be allowed to seek legal assistance, but she declined to say if any one had been charged.

7. Wait a second... IS IT Jeff Gannon's website? The article doesn't say

The military-themed Web site does not appear to make any direct reference to the 82nd Airborne or Fort Bragg. The registered owner of the Web site's domain name lists an address in Fayetteville, the city that adjoins Fort Bragg.

It doesn't say what site.

11. GIs from celebrated unit in gay porn?

North Carolina (AP) -- Army officials are investigating allegations that members of the celebrated 82nd Airborne Division appear on a gay pornography Web site, a spokeswoman said Friday.

Division spokeswoman Maj. Amy Hannah declined to say how many paratroopers are involved or identify their unit within the division. A defense official speaking on condition of anonymity said up to seven soldiers are involved.

"Once the investigation is complete, the chain of command will take appropriate action," Hannah said. Soldiers from the division have served extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan, and several thousand remain overseas.

Martha Rudd, an Army spokeswoman at the Pentagon, said soldiers accused of homosexual activity might be removed from their units, although she did not have specific information about the investigation of the 82nd.

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

23. oh how liberating! as Dems and Progressives it's "If it Feels good Do It"!

I say you go girl!!
Military should be free to do as they pleeze!!

Porn for everyone--it's on me!!
Whip it good!!!

As Dems and Progressives, we must all assert our freedom to feel good!
If it hurts our image, who cares!!
If it makes us look less than disciplined--who cares!!
If we appear to seem self indulgent--who cares!!
We are free in to let our balls fly in the breeze!!

We are ever so different than repubes who say if it feels good do it!!
(invade, exploit, take resources)--we don't want that now do we??
And, off the topic but relevant to our "CAUSE"-
about animals--hurt 'em? abuse them?-we are "fine" with it because they taste good!!!!
the Hell with PETA right??
and that other New age Crap gets in our way of feeling good too doesn't it!!
Yep-

oh Joy!
how liberated we are!!
