Put all the queers in the same unit and send them to the fiercest fighting. Repeat as necessary.

Everyone needs to read the report and watch the testimony themselves.

There were 400,000 surveys sent out. There was a 28% response rate, and the highest responders were from the air force and coast guard. The press keeps reporting the “pro” repeal figures as a percentage of the total military, but THAT IS NOT TRUE! This whole process is being manipulated and lied about in a way that I can only conclude is a calculated attempt to undermine our military capability.

The Dept of Defense Counsel is an Obama appointee, and he keeps pushing for the speedy repeal of DADT because of some nebulous fear that otherwise the courts will do it anyway. That is not true, and the military really didn’t fight all the way the last time this came up. The chances are very good that they would win if the case came to the Supreme Court. Watch the testimony for yourselves. The press coverage is NOT ACCURATE. You will see for yourselves how self-serving a lot of our senior military and Defense Dept personnel are. You can also access the report yourselves on line.

Also—during the testimony it was brought out that the responses from the military “Town Hall” forums and on-line responses were much more opposed to the DADT repealthan what is reflected on the survey responses. This information was rejected by the brass as not statistically reliable.

Watch Mullen and Gates particularly. Their disdain for the junior military troops is particularly evident, especially on Mullen’s part. This is the thanks the troops get for fighting and dying to an extent their senior officers never had to face, although Mullen is trying to portray himself as a war hero.
