It was during DADT and I wasn’t joking. Though since then I have met more gay marines than any other branch (I guess if you want to prove your manliness to the world…).
Yeah. The humor in the military back then and now is best described as “It’s not gay if you say no homo!” And yet somehow also very homophobic. (Less so now than when I was in the army) It wouldn’t be hard at all to find a private flirting as a joke.
have spent 6 months in the austrian military and i can tell you that gay jokes were about 90% of how my roommates spent their free time. like hitting each other’s butts with a towel and stuff. it was entertaining, sad i didn’t see more of it.
