Anti-gay bigot General Sheehan should look up Orde WingateI was shocked by General John Sheehan's remarks about "open homosexuality" in the Dutch Army being to blame for the 1995 Srebrenica massacre. (He was testifying in the Senate against President Obama's plans to end the ban on allowing gays to serve openly in the US military.) Not shocked by his bigotry, but by his ignorance of his own profession. Isn't the General aware that some of the finest soldiers in the history of warfare have been "openly homosexual"? As Churchill himself said, the three time-honoured traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, buggery and the lash. I'll give just one example here, a personal hero of mine: Orde Charles Wingate. Born in 1903, he was educated at Charterhouse and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, before being commissioned in the Royal Artillery in 1923. He had what I call "negative charisma" -- almost everyone he came into contact with took an instant dislike to him. "As he shambled from one [office] to another, in his creased, ill-fitting uniform and out-of-date Wolsely helmet, carrying an alarm clock instead of waring a watch, and a fly-whisk instead of a cane, I could sense the irritation and resentment he left in his wake," wrote Wilfred Thesiger, who served under him in Abyssinia. Thesiger, incidentally, was as gay as they come, yet he won a DSO after forcing 2,500 Italian troops to surrender to him. (To read more, click here.)

Where did you learn this? Re: Anti-gay bigot General Sheehan should look up Orde Wingate Posted by ultra on 19-03-2010 21:58: Wingate clearly was a dirty, bolshie little sh*t. His Jewish-arse-kissing makes him palatable to modern Neocon crowd. Thesiger-- aristocrat, pro-Arab-- was and still is someone to be admired. No comparison.

I have observed that many insurance agencies offer consumers generous savings if they choose to insure a couple of cars with them. A significant quantity of households currently have several motor vehicles these days, specially those with elderly teenage kids still dwelling at home, as well as savings on policies can soon begin.
