A soldier on a lonely outpost in Afghanistan who enjoys rough-housing with his fellow soldiers is asked in Sebastian Junger’s new book War if he would really have sex with another male soldier.
“Sure,” he says, “it would be gay not to.”
That’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. The soldier’s point was that he was so hyper-sexual, that on the this lonely outpost, it would be wimpy to turn down an opportunity to have sex.
