You're gay.'

In one Twitter exchange, the younger Heck states that he doesn't think women belong in the military.
'I don't think they should be there,' he writes. 'Unless its intelligence or desk work.'
Buzzfeed first reported the tweets on Thursday, one day after the website exposed derogatory language used online by Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake's son Tanner.
'I am extremely disappointed in my son's use of the offensive and inappropriate language on twitter: that type of language has never been permitted in our home,' Heck's father said in a statement to Buzzfeed.
'I apologize to everyone he may have offended. My son also apologizes for his insensitive behavior. My wife and I have addressed this family matter directly with him and he has learned from it.'

That's why I drink and drive. Driving sober is too easy. Women can almost do it.'
