This is very close to Secret Agent Man's figure of 10%. Maybe the 60% I had read (here on FR) was a gross exaggeration. I do remember the large retirement of jet pilots when Clinton took office. It was close to 60% from what I read. I wouldn't blame them for wanting to get out, but it makes the American public more at risk.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yes. This will give them the ability to get in people’s faces about it and be protected doing so. The ones who complain will now be the troublemakers and require re-education.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yes but you cannot refuse to take it. It’s done a real number on a significant number of people. They will never be the same, many can’t fly anymore and are permanently disabled by it. It is very scary.

[Secret Agent Man]

Just to be clear, the “10%” isn’t MY figure, it’s the figure I read from a survey the armed forces took internally of the currently serving soldiers. I am just referencing it.

[Humal]

Thank you for the clarification. Maybe I should have said, “the figure you quoted”?

I have a lot of friends currently serving and I guarantee they aren’t going to just stand by while homosexuals practice their vile sex acts in the barracks. There is going to be a backlash big time. Obama has no right to force these degenerate lifestyle practices on our men and women in uniform.
