Chapter 5 Homosexual in the platoon

The first few days we found out that one of the men was a homosexual. We found that out because he would jump up and down on his bunk and shout "See what I've got" As you can imagine it wasn't long that the army decided he was not for army life. As I had been the object of unwanted attention from homosexuals from the time I was quite young I was glad to see him disappear. When you grow up in a family setting where there is not a lot of supervision and in the country mainly you tend to be more available for homosexual predators. If you are in a close family setting where your contacts are limited and under scrutiny by your parents it is more unlikely to be assaulted by homosexuals. This was my only experience in two years with queers in the army.
