RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The Army has charged seven members of the celebrated 82nd Airborne Division with engaging in sex for money on a Web site, authorities said Friday.
Three of the soldiers face courts-martial on charges of sodomy, pandering and wrongfully engaging in sexual acts for money while being filmed, according to a statement released Friday by the military.
Four other soldiers, who were not named, received nonjudicial punishments.
The Army has recommended that all be discharged.
While the charges do not mention the name of the site, the division has said previously it was investigating allegations that soldiers appeared on a gay porn Web site. A spokesman for the division said Friday the charges are a result of that investigation.

This is most disappointing.
And I thought the recent arrests for selling US .mil issued body armor on ebay was bad......................

Brokeback Bragg?
Brokeback Dropzone?
Brokeback Sham Shield?
I had to read the thread title three times; I thought it said "sex-for-monkey".

4 not charged: careers = completely fucking over
That must have been a pretty fucked up social dynamic.
"Bob, Ted? I've known you guys for what, 3 years? Let's make some gay porn. Yeah, that's the ticket."

It was a "military themed" homosexual pornography website.
"The three soldiers who face courts-martial are: Spc. Richard T. Ashley; Pfc. Wesley K. Mitten; and Pvt. Kagen B. Mullen. The Army did not release their ages or hometowns on Friday, but said all seven paratroopers were members of the 2nd Battalion of the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment."

IIRC, the Sundowners Naval Squadron ceased to be after tailhook.
Do you think the 82nd can weather this, or will there be a new designation? Will the damage to the All American reputation be too serious?
This is bad.

You're kidding, right?
The Airborne Mafia would commit seppuku on the White House lawn before they let that happen.

Guess he was the catcher?
Some local cop quit his job a few years back when the FBI contacted his Internal Affairs division. The wanted to know who's badge # they saw on a pic on a web site. The web site's theme was Teddy Bears and Chickenhawks. The FBI was sent a pic of this officer holding his badge in his hand, wearing a motorcycle/traffic cop helmet, gunbelt, and boots..... Needless to say, his wife divorced his ass.

You of course realize the irony in your word choice! You are actually punishing them becase they were caught packing!

Good, because I would hate to see that happen.
I realize there are much greater numbers with a division than a squadron, but the brass doesn't take kindly to a military unit being disgraced - that's why I am concerned.

Who the hell is 2/508 PIR? Is that a new unit or did they mean 505 or 504?
Also, if the 82nd can shake off its Joes going into town and killing local residents while being part of a neo-nazi group, this won't bother it too much.

When I was going to EOD school at Eglin back in 95, one of those 82nd Airborne skinheads was in the class behind me. The punk hadn't been tied to anything yet but when it was found that he was tied to crimes, the FBI/CID came to the school house and arrested him. He never would have made it through the school as he was pretty much a shitbag anyways.

I dunno...hard to come up with anything that disparages the name of the 82nd airborne....
"gay-de-second hairborne" is about as bad as it gets.
Spc. Richard T. Ashley; Pfc. Wesley K. Mitten; and Pvt. Kagen B. Mullen.
Those are pretty ghey names though...I think it won't be too long before a "Private Mullen" description will be up there in the ranks with "Donkey punch", "the shocker", and "Dirty Sanchez"
