It figures that the Navy would want to repeal it. Reminds me of an early poem by T.S. Eliot:

As we were setting out to sea,
We spied a German warship,
The Captain paced the quarter-deck,
Parading, in his corset.
"What ho!" we cried, "We'll sink your ship!"
And so we up and sinked her,
But the cabin boy was saved alive,
And buggered in the sphincter.

Yes, but our very own expert Scott Brown Caokley is all for DADT.

Gay rights groups said they were not discouraged by the service chiefs’ opposition, noting that both Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen argued forcefully for a repeal this year during their appearance before the senators on Thursday.

The President and the Democrat Congress set the political agenda. That means that the issue of "Don't ask, don't tell" is at the top of the list of what is important to Americans, according to their twisted and warped view of our world.

DADT is more important to the Democrats than dealing with issues like higher taxes, murders and rapes committed by illegal aliens, open borders and attendant drug traffic and incursion by terrorists, our miserable economy and increasing unemployment, an examination of our questionable war in Afghanistan, are all less important to Democrats. The most important item on the national and world stage is allowing homosexuals to serve openly in the military!

This is disgusting and why we must vote out the vermin in our government, including military political opportunists like Gates and Adm. Mullen!

Some years ago there was news of a Naval Officer who when he discovered he had been wearing service ribbons he had NOT earned—he committed suicide. I do not endorse suicide as a reasonable response ever— BUT I will Laud that Naval Officer
for doing the right thing far sooner than I can forgive any
Navy man who pushes this evil plan to force the Military to allow homosexuals serve openly. A low estimate cost to the Air Force to affect this “change” the Dems desire is 40-50 Million money that could provide a lot of beans and bullets.
NO to change in the Law.There is NO Constitutional right to serve in the Military.don’t be deceived by the reprobates.
Our men and women in Uniform have not been listened to by the Pentagon- By Congress- or by this enemy in the White House—WE MUST BE THEIR VOICE—WE MUST BE HEARD.NO change!

I get the impression that the people actually serving have let their superiors know in graphic terms what they think of repealing DADT, and the message has gone up the chain of command LOUD AND CLEAR. The officers have the integrity to stand firm because of what they KNOW the troops believe.

And for good measure, ANY officer who supports repeal of DADT should be view with justified suspicion.

Shame on the CNO for his comments. He knows not of what he speaks.

I think the troops will sort out whether they want openly gay members in their units.

Of course the sorting out could get nasty since some men react violently to homosexual approaches.

It is Robert Gates that is at the root of this, Mullen is just a tool. It was Gates who recommended Gen. Pace not be renominated as Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff because of his outspokenness on Christian values and his aversion to open gays serving. That is when we got Mullen, who is doing what the masta tells him. Disgusting!

I really don’t mean to be offensive, but Gates served 2 yrs. in the AF as a commissioned officer, I am sure it was a cake walk compared to what the combat arms are used to and what they train for.

When I went to my son’s Turning Blue Ceremony it was extremely religious, but then again, and infantryman knows he is going into the belly of the beast on foot face to face with the enemy. I am not ashamed to say that I cried listening to those prayers.

I have a picture of my son with Gates when he visited Ft. Benning, it is in a drawer now. I will leave it up to my son as to what he wants to do with it. I think it is pretty pathetic, that I would not be proud to display it.

Will ping this later. Our military servicemembers do NOT want homosexuals in the military. Even DADT is too much. Our military deserve our support. Homosexuals DO NOT BELONG IN THE MILITARY!

If the repeal is not done, and the court challenges successfully repelled, count on Ø still making the policy de facto dead through more monkeying with the military through exec orders. Already, expulsions have been halted, or have been made hard to effect. How much more they could do with DADT still intact.
