Training For The Repeal Of DADT Already Underway In Afghanistan
kpbs.org ^ | 17 February 2011 | Alison St John

Posted on 02/19/2011 4:58:07 PM PST by Racehorse

The President has not yet certified the repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and it will not go into effect until 60 days after that.

But during a teleconference from Afghanistan to Camp Pendleton, Major General Richard Mills said training packages to prepare for the repeal have already arrived in Helmand Province.

Mills described the training as "quite extensive,” with a series of classes, including scenarios and discussion groups. He said the trainers are being trained, and Marines based at Camp Leatherneck will start going through the program as soon as the directive comes down from headquarters.

“It’s a little bit more difficult when you get out to where the fighting is going on,” he said. “But we will do it as soon as we can get them into an environment where they can sit, pay attention, be rested and take it seriously.”

Members of the "Afghan army" -- and I use asterisks because that's what's deserved -- deploy with the Marines into Marjah. And although there is a bit of loud talk about how they're credible fighters, on video they look to be an inept assortment of reluctant shrimps and weaklings. At one point a few Marines from Bravo curse a group of Afghans, literally having to kick their butts in order to get them through a doorway into a compound being cleared.

Patently worthless as soldiers, many of the Marines appear to view them with contempt.

We've heard this song before. Much (not all, of course) of the ARVN.

>> Translation: Political officers are now in training.

I’m reluctant to make a historical analogy.

Do they have an additional lecture in Afghanistan about lynching gays on forklifts? Something about how the State Dept. isn’t going to risk their negotiations with the Taliban if your queer arse gets apprehended by the locals?

Training packages. I don't like the sound of that.

You would think it would be towards homos to not make snide remarks in the showers, but I betcha this is indeed all oriented against the rest of us and done by a homo.

This is rape, pure and simple administratively sanctioned rape.

We have a new Congress. They can pass a bill for reinstating DADT. Then dare the senate to vote against it.

This is not a time for unquestioning obedience. Take a cue from the Egyptians, straight servicemen — revolt en masse.

Exactly. It is hellish and is has to be reversed, somehow, someway, soon. I did hear some Repubs say they would do whatever it too to derail it. They've defunded some czars, 0h0m0care, and some other stuff - they have to defund this pile of evil. What I wonder is why so few Repubs are vocal about this, I can only assume those who are silent about this are morally compromised themselves or cowards.

How about this motto:

“Making Afghanistan safe for Sharia law, so they can execute converts to Christianity.”

That is what soldiers and marines are dying for.

Those “serving” in Afghanistan celebrating their new status should be heartened to learn that many Muslims enjoy “relations” with men and boys - thanks to Obama for the “enlightenment” of our military.

“What I wonder is why so few Repubs are vocal about this, I can only assume those who are silent about this are morally compromised themselves or cowards.”

You answered your own question. Too many don’t have any sense of right and wrong, moral and immoral. They are a reflection of the people they represent. That is really scary. We can’t just blame the office holders, we really need to blame those that elect them.

Also, I cannot speak for others, but persons like myself that have morals are guilty of not being a better example to those around me...I stand before God guilty of dereliction of duty....I am a coward in that I only really speak out on forums like this instead of day to day life.

Where is the US Congress on this? Why aren’t they expressing their outrage? Why aren’t they calling for the restoration of DADT?

Too bad ol’ Jesse Helms isn’t around anymore. He’d raise the roof!

“....What I wonder is why so few Repubs are vocal about this, I can only assume those who are silent about this are morally compromised themselves or cowards.”

I believe from my observations that the feminization of our society that has been under assault by the homo’s, and the Lesbo’s since the sixties in targeted propaganda, subliminal, and not so subliminal in demonstrations, movies, television, radio, cartoons, media in general, even to the clothing designed by homo’s, and lesbo’s, has contributed to a numbness towards the Homosexual.

The homo’s have successfully PC’d themselves.

It’s past time to put some clothes on the kids going to school these days instead of cabaret costumes. That’s intended to mean we have work to do.

I thought fags, sodomites, trannies, bi-gendered animal lovers were just like everyone else? Why would there have to be any special training?

Why after twenty some years after the discovery of HIV in America, is it solely the disease of Homsexual Male Perverts? Is that having Anal Intercourse with hundreds of “Partners” a year just a normal social outlet in Our American Society???? I sincerely hope NOT!!
DONT LET THE WEIRD AND SICKO’S DESTROY OUR CHRISTIAN AMERICA!!
