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.”

Read a newer quote the other day and he’s changed his tune. Singing soprano now. Thinks “attitudes and cirmcunstances have changed” and now he wants “fairness” and the military ruined. I loathe, detest and abhor Powell.
