It will be interesting to see the overwhelming groundswell of young, gay Americans who will soon be able to storm recruiting offices from Greenwich Village to the Castro district and serve their country in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Yeah, right.
Look at it this way: DADT was bad politics for the GOP. Now that this is off the table, the Republicans can focus on other issues that will isolate Obama and the Democrats.
In effect, the GOP has called the Democrats’ bluff. Frankly, now that they can, I don’t think the activist, openly gay community will show very much interest at all in actually serving in the active duty military. Those gay individuals that actually do have the calling of patriotism will probably continue to choose to do so in a discrete manner. At any rate, anyone who is willing to serve honorably in our Armed Forces should be welcomed and thanked for their service and sacrifice. I am confident that US military leadership, and the solid character and values - the basic goodness - of our military will ultimately prevail.

Glancing through some recent and old posts I have come to the conclusion that a great majority of the RINOs AKA activist Romney supporters are as well promoters of the homosexual agenda. They go hand in hand on the path down the toilet with the progressives.
