Be careful who your friends are...

My mother always told me that you can tell a lot about someone from the company they keep.

Well, The United States has been hanging out with some very suspect friends for a while now.

America shares it's "no gays in the military" policy with such countries as:

Cuba, China, Egypt, Greece, Iran, Jamaica, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, South Korea, Syria, Turkey, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.

Now, wouldn't it be nice if Lady Liberty would chose much nicer role models like:

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Uruguay.

This is the country that gave us The Village People, people!
