I noticed that, and several of the people I was with remarked on it.

The link leads to a 404 error, though. Flushed down the memory hole?

So is Barry Dunham going to use UCMJ Article 88 to kick them out?

In another country, people got sent to the GULAG under Article 58 for not applauding Comrade Stalin to the point of exhaustion.

U.S. Navy Admiral Gary Roughhead:

How appropriate...

[driftdiver]

As I recall the military members in attendance never applaud political aspects of the speech.

.“Our troops come from every corner of this country – they are black, white, Latino, Asian and Native American,” Obama said. “They are Christian and Hindu, Jewish and Muslim. And, yes, we know that some of them are... PERVERTS

Interesting that he lumps the “gays” in with the people of different faiths.

“Our troops come from every corner of this country – they are black, white, Latino, Asian and Native American,” Obama said. “They are Christian and Hindu, Jewish and Muslim. And, yes, we know that some of them are gay. Starting this year, no American will be forbidden from serving the country they love because of who they love.”

It hasn’t stopped Obama from being President either.

If you didn’t notie, the chiefs did not stand other than at obviously non-political comments, like thanking our troops for the heavy lifting hey do, etc.

It is protocol for the military in uniform/on “duty” to not acknowledge politics period. We are all appointed to office by the POTUS (confirmed by the congress) or via authority (in the case of enlisted) by officers so empowered.

The military should put all the queers in the same unit, send them to the fiercest fighting, repeat as necessary.

I noticed that too. Clearly a politically motivation decision that detracts from the efficiency and effectivity of the military body. The CiC just made their jobs a whole lot more difficult and expensive. No wonder they are not pleased. As a tax payer, knowing I'll have to fund these social changes to the military, I'm not happy either.

[yldstrk]

It was telling. The military is going to be turned into a cruel selfish tool.

[Arrowhead1952]

didn’t give Ø any positive reaction either.

Most troops don't support the repeal either.

Nobody would or should expect them to promote the sin of Sodomy by applauding it.

[SandRat]

They know the damage the repeal of DADT will do, have told him,but will he listen; NO.
