Anti-Gay Bomb Slur Wrong, Navy Says: "A news photograph of a plane on the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier last week showed one bomb with the message, 'High Jack This,' followed by an anti-gay slur...."'We immediately notified Navy commanders involved with Operation Enduring Freedom to ensure steps were taken to prevent a recurrence of this unfortunate incident. They have done so,' [Rear Adm.] Pietropaoli wrote."
Of course, the negative impact of the anti-descrimination policy is that the US is now more vulnerable to gay terrorism, as well as any Taliban sailors, construction workers, policemen, bikers, and Indian chiefs occupying a YMCA.
