I understand that there is a new branch in the military too.
It's called the Pink berets.
They will prance from place to place giving flowers and redecorating the quonset hut.
4:24, you're a disgrace. I wish you could meet some of our gay and lesbian troops in person. They would put you in your place. Many straight service members support this. I say it has been a long time coming. Glad to see the end of DADT. If you are willing to put your life on the line for American freedom then you deserve full respect and all the rights straight men and women enjoy. Most men and women who have actually SERVED understand this.
We can restore honor to the military when we get rid of Obama.
DSA I'd like to put yo in your place. Your a sick misfit that doesn't belong try the island of misfit toys.
Great...our economy is collapsing and this is what Obama is focused on.
"DSA I'd like to put yo in your place. Your a sick misfit that doesn't belong try the island of misfit toys."
> The only sick misfit is you. Full of hate for anyone unlike yourself. You are a miserable person so everyone else has to be miserable too, yes? Think again. We are moving past that way of thinking as a country. That is why DADT has gone the way of the Dodo. Maybe you homophobes are the misfits now?
:o) <=========== Big smile!
The homosexual person is more adept at serving the Country than heterosexuals.
4:24- Really? If you only knew. What have you done to defend your country? I'm sure you would have failed while studying for the urine test, so enough said. 6:38, I'd like to put you in an English class so you can learn how to spell and punctuate. Joe, you have some ignorant people following your blog, and you keep throwing gay issues out there to fuel the fire. I see the method to your madness, but come on.
The gay movement is designed to topple the moral values of the country. But it's part of a bigger picture the gay movement is only one arm of the assault. If you want to destroy a country you have to destroy it's identity. Like it's moral compass it's religion and the family unit.
We are moving past that way of thinking as a country
Unfortunately you are correct in this one instance. That is why this country is falling apart.
All these petty little agenda's that everyone seems to have nowadays. The hell with the country and the hell with your neighbor. It's all about what I want, what I need.
We all know a straight guy on a three month submarine tour would rather hot bunk with a co-ed, but for the glory of his country or the promise of seeing the world, he's taken a deal he doesn't like much: he's bunking, in shifts, with dozens of smelly guys he'd rather only play poker with.
Homosexuality is about sexuality. The esprit d'corps critical to military service, especially where heterosexual men and women serve together, is about ignoring sexuality. There is no reason for it to be a "gay right" to inject sexuality into that mix. If it is a need for individual homosexuals to do this, they shouldn't serve. This is as it is for heterosexuals as well. Heterosexuals who cannot contain themselves, who must overtly express sexual intentions in the workplace, end up out of today's military also
The sacrifice of our youth in the service of our nation is heroic enough. Their unit cohesion depends on brotherhood and trust. That brotherhood (and, where applicable, sisterhood) depends, to a great extent, on the ability to overcome the need to make overt one's sexuality and sexual intentions. Making "gay rights" an issue by injecting sexuality into dormitories, showers, and foxholes is not in the best interests of the military.
There are many areas of life and society in which America willingly chooses to help those who are, in any way, limited by the conditions or birth or nature. We willingly place wheel chair ramps for the handicapped and provide brail for the blind in public education. We are a kind and magnanimous people. We consider the effects of poverty on educational development and seek to compensate so that the playing field is level for all. We even allow for mental disease to mitigate in our judgments of criminal offenses. However, in the military and in emergency services, ability, and only ability, should be the criteria for service. Weakness, whether heterosexual or homosexual, should not be enshrined in the military codes as "protected" in any way.
A domestic partner is not the same thing as a spouse. If an entire branch of government wants to open up the flood gates of the "government treasury" (what's the national debt --15 trillion?) and allow people to freely sign up for benefits with any single friend they know, the tax payers have a right to know about it and vote on it. It is a matter of somebody's rights. It is a matter of the right of taxpayers to their property.
Nor is demanding gays openly serve in the military like integrating blacks and whites. To insist that it is, is racist. Insisting on such an analogy, when the comparison is unmasked and shown for what it is, is to say that being black is a disability.
