USAR Maj make porn to fuel his congressional campaign

He did it as a “conversation piece.” I think he might have found a way to legitimately use campaign donations to doink a porn star. If he does expense this, then he might be the most brilliant field grade officer of his generation. In either case, I expect the Army Reserve to look down on his activities.

Military Times has the scoop;

An Army reserve officer told New York media this week that he deliberately released a pornographic film as part of his congressional campaign.

Maj. Mike Itkis, who is running as an independent against Democratic incumbent Rep. Jerry Nadler for New York’s 12th Congressional District, posted a 13-minute video of himself having sex with adult film star Nicole Sage.

The self-proclaimed “sex-positive” soldier has served in the Army Reserve since 2009. He is currently assigned to the 335th Theater Signal Command out of Joint Base McGuire-Dix Lakehurst in New Jersey, according to records obtained by Army Times.

According to his campaign site, Itkis is running on a platform that includes decriminalizing sex work and ending adultery laws.

Itkis told the City & State that the film was “a conversation piece.”

“If I would just talk about it, it wouldn’t demonstrate my commitment to the issue,” Itkis told City & State. “And the fact I actually did it was a huge learning experience, and it actually influenced items on my platform.”

At the time of this writing, Itkis has not yet responded to a request for comment. The Army Reserve, however, is aware of the situation and looking into it, though as long as Itkis was not on orders when the film was made, he’s probably in the clear.

It is difficult for the Defense Department to punish part-time troops for off-duty conduct.

“The Army Reserve is aware of the allegations and is conducting an investigation,” Army Reserve spokesman Lt. Col. Addie Leonhardt told Army Times.

  1. “Conversation piece,” eh? No pun intended, I’m sure.

    Vote for GoNadler (blood type = gravy), or vote for this assclown. Not much of a choice, but we’re talking about New York, after all.

  2. Well, it goes without saying that the next drill weekend at the 335th Theater Signal Command is undoubtedly going to be a real barrel of laughs.

    What does our elite team of TAH Sea Lawyers/Barracks Lawyers have to say about this stunt? UCMJ violation(s)?

    1. If he does it on his own time, performs activities legal in his state (many of who’s restrictions were struck down by SCOTUs ruling anyway) and doesn’t call attention to being Army Reserve, he should be fine. (How the former Lt who’d been in my unit could balance her film career and being a drilling reservist later.) But, alas, he has to call attention to this. He in trouble.

    2. Adultery charge? Is the MAJ married? Article 134, conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline?

    1. Hey, it worked for Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho (although pro wrassling probably had more impact)!

  3. He is just demonstrating what he will do to/for the taxpayers in his district when he gets to Congress.

  4. To keep the Army – Navy rivalry going, Ensign Hunter Biden is about to drop another one of his homemade movies.

  5. Ever notice the half-decent representatives in history tended to keep their philandering out of the public?
    Of above or below the table, I’m not saying one action is more moral than the other, just that maybe a case of shame could keep asses in line with rational behavior.

    This moron should be shown the door with a big ol’ FU discharge…. on top of the other itchy discharge.

  6. Wait, he banged a porn star on video and… He’s single, so what’s really the problem with him banging whoever he wants to bang? At least he’s being honest about who he tried (and succeeded) to screw.

    1. There is a laundry list of problems with porn that have nothing to do with morality. High suicide, drug use, VD rates for starters. Most people don’t want to be associated with that.

      1. Banging a US porn performer is a no- no, but renting a 16-maybe-year-old debt-slave girl in some third world shithole dive bar is a no- call.

  7. Holy crap he is running against nadler but shows himself to be no better than the current toad in office. I wonder if there is a repub running in the same race.

  8. IIRC, wasn’t there a female E-6 in the Army or USMC about ten to fifteen years ago for posing for one of the skin magazines. Didn’t she get the boot? Looks like our Woke military will tolerate anything now except refusing to get an experimental inoculation that could damage your health.

      1. Yes, that is the branch insignia for Air Defense Artillery. One wonders how he could be ADA with those officer MOS’s. Seems like he should be branched Signal Corps or Civil Affairs. I always thought the ADA insignia made no sense: Crossed muzzle loading Civil War cannons (twelve pounder Napoleons) with an AD missile through their center.

        1. Could be ’cause the FIRST (ht 2 Chip) ADA was Cornfederate Damned Insurrectionists Johnny Rebs firing 12 pounder Napoleons at Professor Lowe’s Balloon Corps.

        2. Affirmative, it’s a flying Nike Ajax sans its main booster on there (or, at least, that’s what folk claimed ’cause it looks more like a Chapparal).

          1. I think it is a Nike cuz the insignia was created long before the Chapparal. The Nike became operational in 1954. I think the branch insignia is from the mid-fifties. The Chapparal became operational in the latter 1960’s.

            1. On the ADA insignia It’s a Nike Missile, You can tell by the fins top and bottom. There were fins in the middle as well but they are covered.

              But that isn’t ADA insignia.

      2. Looks like Cyberwarfare to me. Crossed lightning bolts with a sword throught middle.

        That is actually his branch so that makes worlds more sense.

        1. Welp, I learned something new, thanks to you. The Cyber Corps is now an officer branch. And I think you are right, and he is wearing its branch insignia. Although, Wikipedia shows the branch colors as black with a silver or gray border.

          1. Correction: The rank shoulder boards/straps for Cyber Corps officers are steel gray with narrow black borders surrounded by the standard gold outer border. So, the ADA stuff is irrelevant.

          2. Not only is it a branch, it is considered a “combat arms” branch. My son serves in it. He is a good kid… Man? But he is pretty far from the sound of the guns.

            To join you have to take a series of tests that prove proficiency in several programming languages and have a near max ASVAB. It’s a six year initial commitment and they spend nearly 18 months in training prior to reporting to their first unit. Clearance is max as well.

            It’s tough competition to get in and retention is terrible because the guys can literally walk right into a cyber security job making six figures from an E4 slot with the training and clearance. Not sure about the officer side. He loves it though, the whole branch is computer nerds.

            1. Wow. So, when deployed soldiers sitting at a computer screen in an air-conditioned building can receive combat pay. What’s next a Combat Cyberwarfare badge?

              1. No hazardous duty pay. Not until they designate Ft. Gordon or Ft. Meade a combat zone.

                They can sure break things and kill people without leaving their laptop anyway.

  9. According to this, he was born in Ukraine in 1969 and moved to NYC in 1979.

    Article states he is a “Retired Major in the Army Reserves.”

    Received his B.S. in 1991. Based on birth year, graduated from High School in 1987, followed by a 4 year degree.

    IF he was Commissioned in 1991, then there is a possibility of 20 years in 2021.

    1. Yeah um no, he was enlisted as a 38B and then likely got commissioned when he graduated college. That would give him 16 years of commissioned service. If he retired at 20 he would be too short to make LTC.

      1. Ah, I see. (Because his not being able to go online to get his sh*t done as… well… he was always online doing sh*t… would’ve been too much.)

    1. You’re stealing Hack Stone’s material. He posted a similar comment 11 hours ago. You can expect to be served with papers from the law office of Bernath & Associates any minute now.

  10. The Duffel Blog version of this was way funnier.

    Sorry, can only give this one 1/5 stars. Would not recommend.

    1. That is five minutes of my life I will never get back. Next year’s Oscar is probably a lock though. It gives “This ain’t Hell but you can see it from here” a whole new meaning.

      Quote of the film:

      “What’s that? So small? You think you can make me happy with that?” – A humble but proud female, minority vendor of Redhat software.

      1. Sounds more like the False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics).

  11. Well: he’s a dem AND a field grade officer. Nothing will happens and money will be wasted “investigating.”

    And the band played on.
