It would seem that some young fghting men are not satisfied with just filming women in showers. Some of our country’s fighting men decided it would be fun to wander down to the ANU bar and harass some of the students there. They were observed kicking chairs around the beer garden, which they claimed was okay, because the chairs were “gay chairs”. They then went on to harass some of the gay and lesbian students in the beer garden.
When will these idiots learn? They are supposed to represent the best and finest this country has to offer in terms of military minds. But officers and gentlemen they aren’t. Instead they’re an embarrassment; homophobic idiots who are a time bomb in terms of potential embarrassment to the nation.
You would think that in light of past PR disasters that these idiots had been told to be on their best behaviour at all times.
I wonder how long it will take for the security video of this behvaiour to end up on Youtube. Or will it be a case of “we don’t care, they were only gay students being offended”.

The next Defence scandal – Homophobic attack on uni students
Oldest to Newst
I mean, WTF? Who does something like that?
Try pretty much anywhere with a high bogan clientelle.
betto said :
You don’t go out often do you?
I’m pretty sure everyone can also pull out a “one time at..” story. Still not a scandal..
This does not surprise me, but it should not happen.
These young defence jocks have no respect for anyone.
One night at Knightsbridge there was a group of short-haired muscular guys with popped collars in really nice suits standing near where I was with a friend.
We witnessed them walk to a group of girls on the other side of us. One of the guys said to one of the girls “you’re hot” and then literally grabbed her by her vagina area. Like, literally, that was how he introduced himself to her. The girl screamed and then her friend shoved the guy and yelled at him “you’re ADFA ****s aren’t you.” The guys laughed and said “how did you know?”. One of the other guys then tried to pull down the top of the girl who had shoved the crotch grabber — by that point thankfully a security guard came along.

I used to play squash in the early 1990s with someone who was a hand to hand combat/self defence instructor at ADFA. He reckoned that as soon as they had a few lessons under their belt, and felt superior and all trained up, they would hang out at well known beats (which were much more prevalent in those days) and aim to bash some gays (the phrases were less polite). Usually the ADFA guys discovered that gay men were not necessarily weak or unable to protect themselves from 18 yr old half grown ups with rudimentary classroom fighting techniques.
So this is hardly a new thing. Its just not the kind of thing that becomes public.
for what its worth, the instructor told me the best tip for bar brawls: grab a stool and stand with your back in a corner. Or, of course, leave through the front door and go somewhere else.
ThatUniStudent must feel like someone has pissed in his cornflakes given the amount of scandal that this has generated, now pardon me while i go suck down on a fag.
