Keeping Apace With Peter

Military recruiter Marcia Ramode goes off on some queer who doesn't want anything to do this that woman's army.

Enjoyed this hot steamin' cup of Pam, today as we read about the wack-job military recruiter who went off on a job candidate:

"Corey Andrew had his profile and resume posted at CareerBuilder.com, and it caught the eye of Army recruiter Marcia Ramode, who contacted him. He wasn't interested in a position in the military, particularly because of the ban on gays and lesbians in the military.

When Andrew informed Ramode that he is gay and believed that the DADT policy was wrong, the two engaged in a three-day e-mail exchange that included statements by Ramode, in her official capacity as a recruiter, that boggle the mind."
