email Exchange Between the us army Recruiter who went head Hunting for soldiers on the internet and a freelance copywriter searching for steady work started innocuously the Recruiter sitting at her desk in Brooklyn fired off a message to the Jersey City Job seeker who had posted his resume on  and invited him to apply to join the us army she noted the army had plenty of openings in military intelligence and aviation for translators and in other Fields in an admittedly sarcastic tone the Job seeker wrote Back that he was openly Gay and asked if that would disqualify he knew the answer quite Well As he admitted later and that he had no interest in being in the military the Exchange escalated into a series of insults and counter insults culminating in ant Gay racist and Typo filled rants by the Recruiter who has now been reassigned and is under investigation by the military the text of the emails was provided by the Job seeker but has not been disputed by the army you Are definitely unqualified now take you Gay self someplace else we do not tolerate Gay people like you in any part of the military wrote the Recruiter sgt Marcia ram ode in angry capital letters in an Early email the emails by ram ode were fired off from feb 27 to March 1 advocates for Gays and lesbians have called for ram ode to be discharged from the army while conservative bloggers have accused
