Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert: Gay Soldiers Giving Massages Proves Repealing DADT Was Bad Idea


I have NO idea what Texas congressman Louis Gohmert is talking about here other than "gay" and "the military" and "Greek massages?"

From a recent appearance on Christian radio show "Point of View" via Right Wing Watch:

"I've had people say, 'Hey, you know, there's nothing wrong with gays in the military. Look at the Greeks.'

Well, you know, they did have people come along who they loved that was the same sex and would give them massages before they went into battle. But you know what, it's a different kind of fighting, it's a different kind of war and if you're sitting around getting massages all day ready to go into a big, planned battle, then you're not going to last very long.

It's guerrilla fighting. You are going to be ultimately vulnerable to terrorism and if that's what you start doing in the military like the Greeks did. As people have said, 'Louie, you have got to understand, you don't even know your history.' Oh yes I do. I know exactly. It's not a good idea."

Greeks? Massages? What???
