To steal a technique from the commie ‘RATS, this is going to put all of our military people in danger. Anyone captured by the muzzie terrorists will be accused of being a homosexual and will probably be hanged.

Anyone captured now is accused of being an infidel servant of the Great Satan illegally invading the Caliphate and their heads are sawn off by rusty knives soooooo getting hanged as an alleged homosexual is definitely a step up.

One of the best arguments I've heard for excluding homosexuals from the military deals with the blood supply available to wounded soldiers in combat theaters.

In high- and medium-intensity wars, a lot of the blood for wounded personnel in forward units would come from their fellow soldiers. This may even be the case in Iraq and Afghanistan today...I'm just assuming with largely unmolested supply trains, much of the blood needed by our wounded comes from stateside, and has gone through the necessary screening to ensure it's untainted by HIV.

But I digress. I've talked with Vietnam veterans who told me that when the casualties came rolling in more than a few at a time, and blood supplies on hand came up short, soldiers and Marines themselves rolled up their sleeves and gave blood to save their buddies. When we find ourselves in another high-intensity conflict in the future, there won't be time to test each and every pint for HIV, and the likelihood of passing on infected blood from a forward-deployed homo would be great. So not only would our troops have been wounded by the enemy, they would have sustained further wounds, possible fatal wounds, from the HIV-infected blood of forward deployed homos.

Quick digression: anyone who wants to argue that HIV is also spread by heterosexual sex and/or intravenous drug usage, check the CDC statistics. AIDS always has been, and continues to be, an overwhelmingly male homosexual disease. /digression

OTOH, if homo troops were classified non-deployable, and left behind when the unit got orders to move, what would that do to unit effectiveness? Key positions would be unfilled. The unit couldn't fight the way it trained, because a member or members of the team would be stateside, given the risk they posed to the vital blood supply.

Then again, there's Limbaugh's indisputable reasoning on women in combat, which applies equally well to homos in the military, in combat units or otherwise. It goes like this:
1)Do we have the strongest military in the world, as it is today? Arguably yes.
2)Would we continue to have the strongest military if we excluded all homosexuals from serving? Absolutely yes.
3) Would we continue to have the strongest military if we had only homosexuals serving? Absolutely not.
4) Then it logically stands to reason that for every homosexual who's serving instead of a heterosexual, we weaken the military that much. If there are 10,000 homos in uniform rather than 10,000 heterosexuals, the military is 10,000 troops weaker than it would otherwise be.

This is in addition to everything Elaine Donnelly said. I am pi**ed to no end about what they're doing to the US Army in which I served for 11 years, and to which I gave both my shoulders and one knee.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

You know, I really wish people on all sides of the debate and especially on the conservative side would stop referring to DADT as a ban on gays serving in the military. The policy explicitly PERMITS gays to serve provided they keep quiet about being gay. The policy replaces the old policy which actually WAS an outright ban.

I favor the outright ban - DoD Directive 1332.14. It is ironic, and serves as a good example of how the left is able to successfully manipulate the debate, because conservatives are put in a position of defending a policy that we were against...Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was a compromise that permitted homosexuals into the military.

Served with a guy who was gay.
He didn’t seem to comprehend that “Hands off” meant “Hands off”.
He learned the hard way.
He got his face beat in a couple times.
Yes, striking down the law would open the military up to a flood of abusive behavior perpetrated by homosexuals.

And I DARE any of the pro-homo trolls to try and say otherwise.

But...but...but my point was, the ‘RATS kept complaining that the “torture” at Gitmo and burning the Korans was putting our troops in danger...The manner in which they were executed was not my point.

How many Matthew Shepherd cases do you think it will take before the Obammunist and the homo lobby realize they made a mistake? Oh, that's right...they won't. The heterosexual troops will be punished for the perversion of the homos.

What the law means is that the question of “Are you a homosexual” is not going to be asked.
Homosexuality is still banned, hence the discharges for those who are caught.
Basically the situation is “We’re not going to ask, and you shut the heck up about it.”

Exactly.
And if the homosexual happens to contract HIV and later assaults his fellow soldiers, he will pretty much be given a pass.

A better law would be onwe that banned Islamics from serving in the US military...

No homosexual has murdered several of his fellow servicemen in a massacre...

Saw a brochure for the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder program at a VA Medical Center. In the section on Military Sexual Trauma, i.e., if you need an explanation, rape of a military member by another military member, 50% of those enrolled in the MST PTSD program are MALE.

There are three likely outcomes of permitting gays to openly serve. (1) Aggressive and unapologetic enforcement of UCMJ Articles 120 (Rape and Sexual Assault), 125 (Sodomy), 134-2 (Adultery) and 134-3 (Assault Indecent), 134-29 (Indecent acts with another) with ultimate dismissal due to pattern of misconduct; (2) a quantifiable increase in 134-4 (Assault), -21 (Firearm Discharging), -23 (Fraternization), -25 (Negligent Homicide); or, (3) a quantifiable reduction in enlistments and reenlistments such that it affects overall readiness.

The ramifications of this are so self-evident, there can only be one logical reason to persue it. And that reason is to intentionally destroy the unit cohesion of the US military and, ultimately, destroy the US Armed Forces.

As Donnelly states, the “old” policy was never rescinded but Clinton made his “attitude” become a policy that was appended to the law that bars Queers from being the military.
The military went along with the illegal policy and here we are.

So, the queers want the DADT “rule” to be defeated then the original law takes its place.
The judge was a Clinton dufus and we really now have a law in effect that outright bans Queers in the military.
How long before the LSM finally gets that message.

The illegal activity that Zero persists in executing as he did with the AZ law in which it was not read correctly by another Clinton dufus judge who had NO legal authority to pass any judgment and a milk-toast governor who would not fight a communist usurper of the COTUS in the matter (she could have ignored the ruling and provoked a needed fight with Zero and DOJ.

“The ramifications of this are so self-evident, there can only be one logical reason to pursue it. And that reason is to intentionally destroy the unit cohesion of the US military and, ultimately, destroy the US Armed Forces.”

Now we are gaining in clarity. Recall that Obama is a communist and a Muslim and an enemy of the COTUS and his task is destroy the USA prior to the NWO assault.
I think that covers it well enough.
