What tiresome people.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

" U.S. lesbian and gay history and sexual gender in society - courses"?

What can't you get a degree for now?

[Dacula]

Slap me stupid and call me silly. Who in the world did not know this was going to happen? Why else was ‘it’s’ departure so dramatic? Do they know any other way?

[kbennkc]

Other than the routine interrogations married people impose on each other to promote and assure fidelity, when does what you are doing with your special purpose parts become part of the conversation?

[TheThinker]

You can’t quit while on patrol or at post. Why let her back when she’s quit before she’s even begun a military career and under false pretenses at that. Don’t set a precedent.

[A_perfect_lady]

You know, sometimes I think what this whole society needs is a big dose of You Can't Have Everything. I mean, really, that's what it boils down to. You can't have everything. If something about you provokes the majority to register disapproval, your choices are to live with the disapproval or keep your mouth shut.

For instance, I never wanted children. I'm a female that has no interest in having and raising kids. I got a lot of flak for that, "You're not a real woman," and "you're a biological dead-end," and "you're selfish and there is something wrong with you."

I could have avoided the disapproval by lying and saying I was sterile, or it just hasn't happened for me yet, or often just keeping my big mouth shut. As it is, I opted for shooting off at the mouth and getting into arguments with people. It would have been NICE to have people simply accept that some of us don't want children... but... most people just don't understand this so I didn't get the acceptance. End of the world? No. You see, you just can't have everything.

I would say this to anyone who in some way or another doesn't fit into the mainstream. Look: if you aren't being actively persecuted, just appreciate what's good in your life and stop expecting that some day everyone will By God Learn to accept you. Why should they? There are things I don't accept about other people. We cannot all have an endless daily supply of validation, reassurance, and support. You get some things; you don't get others. That's life.

"Adm. Mike Mullen told ABC's "This Week" this month that asking people to lie about themselves goes against the integrity of the armed forces."

No one was supposed to ask so this sounds rather phony.

honor violation

[Hot Tabasco]

A friend of mine whose son entered the Academy from the enlisted ranks of the Army sent me a book titled "The West Point Way of Leadership".

I've read that book twice now and nowhere have I seen any evidence of "I" or "Me" or one's sexual preferences. The I's and Me's and one's sexuality are non-existant, the Academy is about Duty, Honor and Country.........Any violation of those three principles deserves expulsion with no chance of reinstatement.

The mere fact that this lesbian is attempting to get reinstated following her voluntary resignation is proof that she does not, nor ever has, embraced the code of West Point........

[Vermont Lt]

I might come across as an old timer, but my problem is not with her sexuality. It is with her breaking the honor code.

When you break the honor code, it is not about the lie or the theft. It is about a complete disregard for your comrades-the folks that have committed to to living under the code. It is about trust. And when you lose that, you have abdicated the right to lead.

Sorry Charlie, you’ve been weighed and measured. And you have come up short.

[bigbob]

as screwed-up PC as the military is nowadays, she’d probably fit right in.

[bareford101]

she is nothing but a sneaky Thief. We, taxpayers, paid for her first 2 years at the best Military Academy in the World. If she had waited one week later to resign, she would have had to pay us back. That is premeditated theft. She says she understands there will be "hostility toward her." ahem.... more than hostility....I would prefer to see her completely marginalized... She is a thief, a lying thief who knowingly stole from taxpayers.

[SECURE AMERICA]

West Point is there to build leaders.
Someone that lives a life of lies is hardly a candidate for such a program.

[relictele]

They had this person on ESPN Outside The Lines a few weeks ago.

I don’t care if her preference is for men, women, dogs or cats but she was insufferably smug not to mention clueless considering the policy was in place long before she thought about attending.

“I shouldn’t have to lie about who I am.”

You’re right - you shouldn’t. Go be genuine at another school where it won’t break a rule.

[Jim Scott]

This woman knew the rules when she applied to West Point and now she whines about 'having to lie about who she is'? She is a female that prefers other females as sex partners. That's it. This is absurd. What she really wants is to have the military's rules changed to accommodate her sexual perversity while she attends the academy on the taxpayers dime. We used to call this "having your cake and eating it, too". No sympathy here.

[panthermom]

For now, Miller is attending Yale University and taking three classes, including U.S. lesbian and gay history and sexual gender in society - courses not found at the academy.

I cannot believe any school would offer such a ridiculous class!!!!

She has found freedom in the school's gay community and likes staying up late. Still, her heart is in West Point.

She is full of sh!t. She wanted to go to West Point just to say she went to West Point. How do you attend the premier military school and not understand that the Military is NOT about YOU? She does not belong amongst those willing to serve, she is too self centered. Obviously there were other others who CHOSE to NOT make an issue about their sexuality and forge through. If the only way you can function in life is to identify with you sex life then the military is not the place for you, find something else more suited to your "identity".

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Future head of DHS?

[STONEWALLS]

“The harshest criticism from her former classmates came after she wore her dress whites while walking the red carpet with Lady Gaga at the MTV Video Music Awards. They felt she was using her uniform to make a political statement.”

....her former classmates are right...she besmirches the uniform by doing that....BUT....with Obama in the WH, I’d say the odds are very good she’ll get back in the USMA...and guess what?....when that happens; the MSM and intellectuals will celebrate her as a ‘pioneer’ and swoon over her ‘courage’

[yldstrk]

Real officers don’t give a rats axe about another officer’s sex life (unless it’s their spouse’s sex life that is). So STFU and don’t tell. And don’t try to make me appreciate your alternate lifestyle because I follow the Bible and I think your alternate lifestyle is immoral and against God’s will for you.

[Nosterrex]

In better days, no lesbian would be accepted in the military academies. In the best of days, no women were admitted to the military academies. We live in the worst of days when lesbians and feminists run the military. I am thankful that our military has only had to fight the likes of Iraqis and Afghans. If they had to fight the Viet Cong or the North Koreans, they would be hauling female corpses away by the truck load. I would like to see how long these lesbians would last in the Hanoi Hilton. These people have no clue what it means to fight a really nasty war.
