    I'm having trouble working up any outrage over this. In fact, I'll bet a lot of our soldiers act the same way when they're off-duty. It seems like that's what young straight guys do. You know, nailing their scrotums to boards, lighting their farts, typical Jackass-type behavior.

    @RheaPollstry: while i find the behavior appalling, i agree that people have a right to act like jackasses when they aren't at work.

    if nothing illegal then i'm a little confused as to why anyone's employment should be dependent on our not-at-work behavior.

    How does this even start at a party? Does a guy say to another guy, hey let's drink booze out of each other's ass crack. I'll try it this weekend at a barbecue I'm going to, and see what happens.

    I have a problem with you simply stating "the government's known all along," because the Obama administration and Bush administration are so distinctly different in a myriad of ways. When you completely erase the line between the two (which you do when you write like that), you place blame and responsibility on the current administration (Hillary photo), when we all know that this kind of behavior was allowed to foster and grow long before the current administration even existed.

    How and why are you conflating Blackwater's killing unarmed civilians with the gay sex antics of these brohans? There are many reasons to criticize the private contractors, but Gawker seems to have zoomed in on the one unobjectionable thing they do. Who cares if they spend their downtime eating corn chips out of each others' asses? Gay-baiting noise.

    @Solomon Grundy: I think when you occupy an ultra conservative country filled with heavily armed fundamentalist Salafist Muslims who hate our guts -- and who have decades of experience fighting global superpowers -- it's probably not a good idea to give every newspaper in Central Asia photographic evidence of our bare-assed alcoholic hedonism. This echoes Abu Ghraib. How many times does it take to look like total drunken sex freak assholes before we lose the war? These people do not want to be ordered around by men they think are tossing each other's salads in the off hours.

    @gawkimo: Who cares if religious fundamentalists (of any stripe) object to gay sexiness -- they do not get to set the terms of the debate just because they're louder and more hateful than everybody else.

    As for the comparison to Abu Ghraib, um, that was systematic rape and sexualized torture. This is at worst creating an atmosphere of sexual harassment. Not good, but also really not comparable, at all.

    Also, in every way that counts, we already lost the war.

    @Solomon Grundy: I understand your point, but personally I don't find these pictures sexy. They remind me of frat boys who have no problem beating up a gay guy on the weekend while sodomizing the new pledge in an drunken "episode". Using macho homoerotic posturing as a hazing technique of humiliation is not exactly "pro gay." Interestingly, there's an Afghan angle to all of this. Pederasty has a long tradition in Central Asia. The Taliban actually banned young boys and older men from being behind closed doors alone last year because of the prevalence of sodomizing boys. (There's a proverb that says a bird doesn't fly over Kabul without covering it's ass with one wing.) These guys don't view themselves as gay, either.

    @Solomon Grundy: A lot of pashto men are total bear tops, but they don't view themselves as gay because they would never be the bottom. I think there's some of that being underscored in these pictures: a bunch of repressed macho tops getting soused enough to rape or be raped when the others have passed out (no witnesses). I see a reality show in all of this.

    This is all a big misunderstanding. The State Department intended to give the contract to Armorgroup, a security company, but accidentally awarded it to Amourgroup, a private club for bears.

    I think the pics we saw earlier of the douchebaggery needs to be uncensored, captioned with the asshats' names, hometowns, and how much they get paid. I would venture to think we'd have a right to know who these pricks are..

    Betcha ArmourGroup is gettin' paid in the high 8 figures..

    Hi, just to clear up a little confusion for some of the pinkos: no one sensible is objecting to this because it involves men being sexual with men, we're objecting to it because people are being coerced. Gay = fine, sexual harassment = bad, no matter what the sex of the people involved is. I know that's disappointing, since you're probably all for sexual harassment as long as it's male on female, but that's not the way people with a functioning sense of decency roll.

    Miss Anita would like to know What In Fresh Gay Hell Is This Nonsense? A bunch of fugly straight guys wearing far too few clothes (I'm speaking to you, shorts and sandals in photo #1) and sexually harassing other men and natives? Perpetrating this behavior to the point of forcing fellow employees to barricade themselves in their rooms?

    This isn't about sex. This is about bullies exerting power over others. It's sick and it's wrong and Miss Anita strongly disapproves.
