US generals, admiral come out of the closet - flag fag officers

Alan Steinman, Keith Kerr, and Virgil Richard. Picture: New York Times
Three retired US military officers - two generals and an admiral - who had been among the most senior officers to criticise the "don't ask, don't tell" policy for homosexuals in the military, have revealed that they are gay.
The three - army Brigadier-Generals Keith Kerr and Virgil Richard, and Rear-Admiral Alan Steinman of the Coast Guard - said the policy had been ineffective and undermined the military's core values - truth, honour, dignity, respect and integrity.

It was ok when these 3 "men" violated said values by being liars? and potential security risks?

I like and respect Hackworth. You bots better control your tendency to attack anyone who does not worship at the feet of W.

Hack has been married a long time. Too long to have been a beard.
"Rear Admiral" LOL
By the way the Coast Guard isn't a part of the military. It was a part of the Dept. of Transportation and now Homeland Security.

"Because gays and lesbians are required to serve in silence and in celibacy, the policy is almost impossible to follow," said Admiral Steinman. "It has been effectively a ban." Well no s&!t, Dick Tracy. This bone smuggler knew the rules going in. Nobody pointed a gun at his head and forced him to join the military. If he had gone to college and moved into a civilian job, this never would have been a problem. But no, homosexuals always have to be elevated to a martyr role, make a damn nuisance of themselves, and make everybody else's life hell.

Like they say, 10% of the population.
(not that there's anything wrong with that!)
I served with more than a few officers who I would have bet were gay. I had to process a drill sergeant out of the Army for having a homosexual relationship while away at a professional school. He had a wife and two kids.

Just goes to prove you can do a good job and serve your country well and honorably and still be gay. Good for them.

Hack isn't gay, there is no reason to say he is, and that you said that disgusting comment reveals a lot about your own personality.
