Gates is an example of the lack of leadership. And a traitor to boot.
there is no “gay ban”
there is a “telling everyone in the world you’re here,
you’re queer and deal with it” has been banned
The homos will start to harass the straight men and then accuse them of homophobic actions to the command structure and the straights will automatically be guilty until proved innocent.
This is going to be nasty and completely degrade the quality of our military across the board.
As usual Johnny McCain was getting his conservative creds in. A real vomit fest. Like he really believes any of it.
From retired Navy - here it goes folks!
Be ready for “openly” gay NCOs, uniformed gays in gay pride parades, at any promo ceremony or award or whatever, Adam and Steve sharing a hug and kiss, any disciplinary action against a gay being a “hate crime”, gay, lesbian and transgender dances at the academies,....I could go on...this spells the doom of our greatness as a military force. The promoters say, look at Canada and the UK and the (ahem) Netherlands - but I don’t see them as leading forces in winning wars.
Gates and Mullen (who is a CATHOLIC, by the way!) will go down as the destroyters of our great military - all for the love of Obama and political correctness...
We weep.....
When I first went in the military, homosexuality was prohibited, then later it was tolerated. I’m glad I retired before it became mandatory.
This whole thing is PC run amok. Open homosexuality in the military will degrade our capabilities.
Diversity is the aim here and ignoring the fact that homosexuals commit history's serial killings should prove they're combat ready.
In the 1930's it was 'a chicken in every pot,' while in the 21st century it will be 'a queer in every foxhole.'
This is yet another deliberate attempt by the leftist demonRats to undermine our military.
When one of “them” comes between you and the enemy.....Just sayin’
This is just another way that the islamist in Chief is destroying our nation.
I believe this requires passage by Congress and I doubt that they have the votes to repeal ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’.
Do we care about the lives of our sons and daughters?
Then we will fight this with everything we’ve got.
It’s time for political scorched earth.
Same here.
