I was merely pointing out that there could be, and was, a backlash against that policy.<br /><br />I mean, when you discriminated against blacks there were eventually riots (usually caused by whites) but still. It may not justify it but there can be a cause and affect relationship there.<br /><br />What does gay adoption have to do with anything?? Gay adoption isn't illegal.

If gay marriage isn't made legal nationally immediately then will gay soldiers then feel empowered to disclose secrets or serve the enemy in other ways?<br /><br />What about gay adoption? Same thing?<br /><br />How about the soldier, gay or straight, who feels it is his or her personal right to dress or behave in whatever manner befits their desires? Should they now feel empowered to commit treason and put their fellow soldiers at risk and aid the enemy?<br /><br />I have no problem with gays serving in the military. What I DO have a problem with is people using their sexual identity, race or some other characteristic to explain away their treachery.<br /><br />As usual Toadbat, you're not half as clever as you think.Mike's Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262938295909490454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-73031231901624775412010-12-28T11:32:57.268-05:002010-12-28T11:32:57.268-05:00Where I come down on this is why should the subjec...Where I come down on this is why should the subject of sexual preferences even come up? I'd have the same problem with a soldier proudly announcing he's gay as with the military asking the question in the first place. I don't think such questions of a personal nature belong in the military and I have the same problem with people who ask too many personal questions at work which is a whole other blog:)Z-manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158941102166215285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-77313204496225803842010-12-24T07:32:59.222-05:002010-12-24T07:32:59.222-05:00And Toad, you are correct on this one.

Unlike the one where you said that the national debt went down under Clinton. <br /><br />Large numbers of good servicemen/women troops, sailors, etc were taken off the front lines by this. <br /><br />Removed from the armed forces as surely as if they had been killed by the enemy. <br /><br />Consider that during the years of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, DADT was doing the work of the terrorists, without the terrorists even having to set one bomb or fire one bullet.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-32971515542231807752010-12-22T10:05:33.380-05:002010-12-22T10:05:33.380-05:00What I am saying is that if anything, DADT weakene...What I am saying is that if anything, DADT weakened the military due to shit like that.Toad734https://www.blogger.com/profile/01450263690181812924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-66437138062144032552010-12-21T12:31:51.246-05:002010-12-21T12:31:51.246-05:00Patrick, regarding the Wikileaker, what surprises ...Patrick, regarding the Wikileaker, what surprises me is the extent that the media and our politicians seem fixated on him, as opposed to the content and the underlying facts that the leaks present.<br /><br />This is clearly a case of kill the messenger...<br /><br />Have a great Christmas...Dave Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272431500457083818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250195226200160668.post-69128774336974005972010-12-21T08:40:40.603-05:002010-12-21T08:40:40.603-05:00Toad: on the guy that did the leaking, he needs to...Toad: on the guy that did the leaking, he needs to be nailed to the wall (and not in a good way).

There are men and women serving on ships and elsewhere in the armed forces and sure, they will sometimes hook up but it isn't allowed and those people are harshly disciplined as will gay people if they have sex with each other in the shower.<br /><br />And let's all admit that an actual policy called "don't ask, don't tell" is just fucking retarded.Toad734https://www.blogger.com/profile/01450263690181812924noreply@blogger.com
