Entitled, "Asking for Trouble," the video from the public policy group America's Survival, Inc.

"It is unconscionable to add this danger to the risks they already face in fighting for our freedom around the world."

2. Medically speaking all bodily fluids are considered potentially infectious
so even the science/medical underpinning of this group is utter nonsense.

3. there's irony here
the reason Klinger dressed that way was to try to kicked out of the army, because they didn't allow transgendered persons. Well, back then he was trying for a section 8, but you get my point. He was trying to use it get out.

4. that's a little advanced for Cliff Kincaid
he doesn't know about any of that fancy literary analysis, he just knows the dude looks like a lady, and that's "bizarre". :scared:

6. Could it be that Kincaid has a crush on Klinger?
