More Description
In an era of increased public awareness that gay men and lesbians serve in the U.S. military, knowledge remains scant of what their sex and social lives are really like. Barrack Buddies and Soldier Lovers challenges assumptions and stereotypes of gay (and straight) men in the military from conversations with several very different men serving in the military. These revealing interviews with 16 GIs, all in their twenties, share the stories of gay life and sex in the armed forces. None of these men have made any headlines, but each has, in his own way, developed a unique personal strategy for life as a gay or bisexual male inside the U.S. military today. This book is a look around at current events in gay military circles from the eyes of these gay or bisexual military men, all of whom were stationed in Frankfurt, Germany, during the 1990s.
