Unfit For Service

by Wavland

Randy Taylor became a soldier to serve America. But he was forced to live a life plagued by paranoia, secrecy and isolation. For years, Randy hid his true identity while risking his life in the United States Army. This is his harrowing, untold story. Unfit for Service is an 8-episode series with new episodes publishing Monday mornings. Series launches with the first two episodes on October 21. Unfit for Service is a production of Wavland and Vespucci and is hosted by Eric Marcus. “Exposes the awful toxicity of making gay people unwelcome in the military, through the story of one very sweet man." – The Guardian

I am so impressed by all three voices- interviewer, Randy, and Lucas. I am a hetero female, profoundly moved by the couple’s commitment to their relationship despite incredible obstacles. Thank you for sharing this story with us!

I’m not a big military supporter, but I really found this story gripping. It tells to what lengths a soldier and his partner had to go to hide their relationship, including driving hundreds of miles in the Egyptian desert. Wonder if the new Administration will force military personnel back into the closet?

I stumbled upon this series and decided to have a listen. It was certainly an eye opener! The lengths to which Randy and Lucas had to go to conceal their relationship are unimaginable. Great series! As a true crime fanatic, I was expecting murder and chaos..this was not what I expected at all, and I loved every episode! Wavland had become a new favorite podcast of mine.

I’m a true crime fanatic and fortunately for me this show came up on my feed as a trailer so to speak. I’m so happy it did! I was hooked immediately. Listening to it made me upset, made me angry and ultimately made me joyful for General Randy Taylor and his husband Lucas Taylor. The lengths they went through and hardships they endured to stay together is awe inspiring. Some people may never understand what it is like to be gay, to have to hide one’s identity for whatever reason. I am fortunate that I never had to hide my identity for my career, unlike many before me and after me. Give this show a listen, because in the end as General Taylor states, to give love and receive love is all that matters. Thank you General Taylor and Lucas Taylor for your service and sacrifice to our country.
