This is pretty outrageous considering the current policy is that avowed homosexuals are strictly prohibited from declaring their lifestyle choice, recruiting others, making sexual advances, or demanding sexual favors from young enlistees under their command. For McHugh to openly scheme with these homosexuals blatantly violates both the 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' policy and the UCMJ. Here we go again with Hussein Obama deliberately going against military rules and trying to weaken our armed forces.

Did he tap his toes?

How touching, sucking up that is.

In bars? Rest areas?

[Spok]

Being gay and in the military isn’t the problem; it’s the behavior that will follow the minute they quit booting them out. My two sons (Army and USMC) will leave the military as soon as they can if this happens.

[Mr. Jazzy]

UCMJ??? When has that EVER mattered to Odumbo and his gang of communists???

The most cogent analysis I've read against allowing homosexuals to serve and weaken unit cohesion was written by a Marine Lt last year: Repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell Would Be a Disaster

What in the world???? Since when is any body's sex life anyone else's business? I am sick of this.

How about this...It's private stuff...keep whatever you do to yourselves!!

[Soothesayer9]

So what do the Marines think of this mess??

I just bet he has.

[Carley]

Met them in gay bars.

Did he remember to cup the...

...oh, never mind.

"I didn't feel it productive thereafter to initiate disciplinary action," he said.

Well since you don't follow the rules and think you can do whatever you personally think is best--it is your duty to resign Mr. McHugh.

General Colin Powell said it best: “I think it would be prejudicial to good order and discipline to try to integrate gays and lesbians in the current military structure. Skin color is a benign, nonbehavioral characteristic. Sexual orientation is perhaps the most profound of human behavioral characteristics. Comparison of the two is a convenient but invalid argument.”

You could tell what Gates was a mile away. For some services, it won’t be that big of a deal. If I had to live in close quarters, I’d be gone, though. NCO clubs are going to turn into gay bars. If you were a man attracted to men where would you go? Into an organization of all men of course. It’s the problem the Catholic Church is having. People with a particular bent are attracted to orgnaizations where there a more opportunities to satisfy that urge. Are they going to permit enlistees to leave early because of this? There should be some religious out.

[Redleg Duke]

He should tender his resignation effective immediately!

[verity]

Do you have any intelligent comments to add to this very serious discussion?

Army Undersecretary SADDAM IZER was not available for comment.

"You could tell what Gates was a mile away"

If you are suggesting that he is queer, you are sadly mistaken.

[throwback]

I’m not, he’s a go along to get along. He’ll follow the bread crumb trail to wherever the power leads.
