When our soldiers have time to do this and post it on the Internet, are we really serving any purpose there anymore?

I think we are seeing what rescinding DADT will do for our armed services.

The scary thing is, I think these are the straight guys. Can you imagine?

When you have proof of that get back to me.

To my original point, though, I do realize these guys get bored over there and all, but this is a fucking full-scale production. It really doesn't look good for the military having this stuff posted online.

Maybe you should forward it to the "Obama Hotline" and ask him to take action on it - since he is the one who upped the ante over there.

Yes, it looks pretty bad. You'd have to wonder where they were stationed and their duties at that location.

Their duties include being ~~~fAbUlOuSSS~~~.

This is a couple guys located in afghanistan, that re-made the music video by Lady Gaga....Telephone. Prepare yourself for a fantastical journey.
Right now this is the temporary version, we have more scenes to cut, and edit, however with guys always on mission it is harder to film than you think.

How long before these guys are on "America's Got Talent" and drunk-ass David Hasselhoff is saluting them?

So you're suggesting that they can't have fun every once in a while? You do realize that they're not engaged in firefights every five seconds, right?

Ok, maybe it doesn't look good to some, being posted online and all, but who really gives a crap? We send the guys over there to a get a job done, and as long as they're doing it, I could pretty much care less about what they do on their down time.

THAT IS THE GAYEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN...

One of the comments on Youtube had a good idea. Someone really needs to make a GIF from 1:06 - 1:12.

I'm going to have to go with the "who gives a shit" crowd. Let 'em dance around like a bunch of fruits while they're over there. They're not wearing any unit insignias or otherwise giving away their location. If this their idea of fun, hey, whatever keeps them frosty while they're not busting sweet moves.

That fat-body sure can dance, though.

LOL

Funny way to get rid of some stress. I can't imagine there are many recreation opportunities over there., Making a funny video and getting some publicity is fine with me. They'll probably get to be on Letterman when they rotate home.

And that is not a full production. A lap top, FLIP camera, and an hour or two is all that is needed.

I'd rather watch that than a Caps game. 8-)

Holy shit! Our soldiers aren't pulling guard duty on street corners 24/7? God damn it, that's not the war I supported! If our troops aren't beating, maiming, or killing someone, they're not doing their jobs!

The British had a video like this a while back......

Full-scale production?....Hahaha

I just caught this on Smoking Gun..

I think this is far, far more damaging to America's image than Abu Ghirab

The guy with the "Steam" sign made me laugh.

I don't think these guys had any idea how viral this thing would go. If any of them were planning to have a career military, not so sure this was such a good idea.

The distant war in Afghanistan has felt a whole lot closer since seven American soldiers in the 82nd Airborne shucked off desert fatigues for tattoo-baring costumes made from caution tape and cardboard, in a viral remake of Lady Gaga's "Telephone" music video.

Whipping their hips and punching the air with water bottles, the soldiers spin off-duty boredom into cathartic release with a funny, sexy and even bittersweet version of the hit. The all-male cast filmed it in a garage at the forward operating base in Farah province and uploaded it to YouTube a week ago. As of late Friday, "Telephone: The Afghanistan Re-make" had more than 500,000 views.

The video is a party -- and it's also raw poetry. It's the poetry that gets us: The dusty boots. The sweat stains. The plywood walls in the background, and the dart board hanging forlornly on one of them. (Is that all they have for fun? No wonder they dance!) The choreography steals a bit -- and vastly improves upon -- the video that features Lady Gaga and Beyoncé conspiring in a luridly sex-crazed prison.

But despite the distance, despite the exoticism, there's a powerful poignancy to this music video from a war zone, featuring young soldiers who could die tomorrow, who are, perhaps, funneling months -- years? -- of restlessness, loneliness and pent-up self-expression into a flamboyant 3 1/2 -minute escape.

"Prepare yourself for a fantastical journey," boasted Aaron Melcher on YouTube. Melcher, the beefy redheaded star of the production, added that more cuts and edits were planned, "however with guys always on mission it is harder to film than you think."

It's a pretty positive article that I agree with (unlike most Post articles...)

Tell that to the soldier photographed out of uniform in his pink boxers fighting off an attack.
