Three of the military's OutServe members who posted an "It Gets Better" video from Bagram, Afghanistan.

A group of military service members are the latest to use the Internet to send a viral message to LGBT youth - "It gets better."

Four LGBT service members in Bagram, Afghanistan posted the video as part of a campaign to combat suicide against teens bullied because of their sexuality, Military Times reported.

In the two-and-a-half minute clip, the four Air Force service members urge kids to stay strong and true to who they are, regardless of their sexual orientation.

"Whether you're gay, straight, bisexual, transgender, genderqueer - whatever, no one should be put down because of who they are," one female service member says.
