WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Defense Department said Tuesday that it is accepting openly gay recruits, but is warning applicants they might not be allowed to stick around for long.
Following last week's court ruling that struck down a 1993 law banning gays from serving openly, the military has suspended enforcement of the rule known as "don't ask, don't tell." The Justice Department is appealing the decision and has asked the courts for a temporary stay on the ruling.
The Defense Department said it would comply with the law and had frozen any discharge cases. But at least one case was reported of a man being turned away from an Army recruiting office in Austin, Texas.
WTF are they doing. SOme stupid federal judge has NO AUTHORITY on this whatsoever!!
What a crock that is, seem like the powers that be are very eager to give up. The powers that be don’t care whether the military is actually effective in its mission either.
Isn’t the legal fall-back position from DADT “ask and expel”?
If the new rule is invalid, doesn’t the old rule stand in its place?
October surprise to win over the homosexual activists.
Obama doesn’t want his fingerprints on this but he’s cool with it.
Obama is proclaiming he’s a Christian again and church going black social conservatives are still against homosexuality (and abortion). He can’t come out and applaud this, just yet.
So instead of being on the shoulders of any legislator or party, it’s just “the system” that made it so. The shadow government of unelected workers pushing the liberal agenda with no consequences for their activism.
What are they going to do with cross dressers and transgender recruits?
Yes, in a sense. How many women wind up having their deployments/enlistments shortened/terminated b/c of pregnancy? Its far more than you might imagine. How much official (and unofficial) goofing around goes on b/c women claim sexual harassment? Lots! If you think women in the military is a hairball just wait until the fags come up to speed. All of this is a substantial distraction from the military’s primary mission.
Russell Ziskey (Harold Ramis): No, but we're willing to learn.
UTTER B/S
no way does a judge have a right to tell the military what they can recruit.
So now queers can walk in holding hands and say they want to join and a marine has to accept this crap
B/S
watch all the lawsuits when they cannot do training and are thrown out.
The Pentagon was shot at and they now come out wiht this crap.
my family has served for over a 150 years and now myu sons will not be joining if this stands
these idiots who know nothing about the military want now to do social experiments
Sorry. Here’s the correct quote:
Recruiter: Now, are either of you homosexuals?
Winger: You mean like flaming?
Recruiter: Well, it’s a standard question we have to ask.
Ziskey: No, we’re not homosexual, but we are willing to learn.
Winger: Yeah . . . Would they send us someplace special?
Homosexuals don't get pregnant either. Let the discrimination suits begin.
With homosexual open service, you also will see quotas to fasttrack promotions to “rectify ages old discrimination” against such promotions.
You'll also see homosexual activist clubs. Balkanizing what is supposed to be a united fighting force.
Just like with so-called “gay” marriage, we’ll see an uptick of new recruits but, with the passage of time, that will falter and people will wonder, “Why all the fuss if they aren’t joining the military?” The homosexual agenda doesn’t care about joining the military; it was NEVER about that. It was once again about the use of government force to impose their immorality onto the greater society. Now, the military will be weakened and placed into greater danger because of this.
If there were any military commanders with stones, they would be saying what some have said Andrew Jackson said, “They made their ruling; now let them enforce it!”
I agree. I also predict an EXPLOSION of "Code Red" occurances in the future.
Since when does a single lesbian dictator in a black robe in California have jurisdiction over our armed services?
They are endangering the life of my son.
In other words, this fight is personal...
They don't. And if we had an actual American president, he would be ignoring them and fulfilling his own oath of office.
