Memo Marks Official End to 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' (sigh...)
National Journal ^ | September 20, 2011

Posted on 09/20/2011 5:58:21 AM PDT by markomalley

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the nearly 18-year-old policy that allowed gays to serve in the military as long as they kept their sexual orientation a secret, was officially repealed at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20.

The following official Defense Department memo acknowledges the historic repeal. "Effective today," it reads, "statements about sexual orientation or lawful acts of homosexual conduct will not be considered as a bar to military service."

I think the percentage of gays in the military currently is quite small. There have always been some. I have talked to guys who served in WW II and Korea who figured out that this guy or that in their platoon was gay. So long as they kept their noses clean and did not cause any trouble nobody seemed to have a real problem with them.

This is not about allowing such people to serve. This is being driven by the Gay Mafia with a revenge motive, along with radical Globalist Pacifists who want to undermine the US Military.

As we learned from the kid who handed over all the files to Wikileaks, most gays are quite unhappy trying to live in the military culture.

Well, hell, I’m getting kinda cynical about it all anyway, so here goes, and let the flames roar in my direction if they must.

Our military hasn’t been involved in a declared war since WWII, not has it secured a single unconditional surrender or victory of any meaningful kind.

Our military does not protect us from the invading armies to the south.

Our military is not being allowed to defeat Islam, nor hardly make a dent in them.

Our most powerful weapons are forbidden from the battlefield, and are being systematically and unilaterally disarmed.

Our military seems to have little other purpose than to serve the globalists and the military-industrial profiteers, provide policing and nation building to the Third World and redistributing the wealth and blood of our citizens around the globe.

Our military, at enormous expense, is posted in about a hundred foreign countries whose people have, at best, mixed feelings about it, and whose ungrateful governments don’t pay us a bloody cent for the benefits and protection we bring to them.

Our military has allowed itself to be be emasculated by the policies of their non-military controllers.

Our military is involved in two (three?) “wars” within the context of a larger “War on Terror,” in which we are pitted against a fanatical 25% of the world’s population hell-bent on our subjugation, yet our approach is timid, not focused on truly defeating the enemy, and not backed-up by any war-time mobilization, nor even any interest, of the civilian sector.

Our military is being trained and organized for use against “enemies, domestic” - which is likely, in the next few years, to include almost every patriot reading this post - as the orchestrated collapse of the country is followed by martial law imposed by globalist tyrants.

Let it all turn gay. Let the military transform until it consists solely of three transgendered people on minimum wage sitting in pink uniforms in an outpost in Amsterdam smoking hashish and opium: but not until we first use some of our remaining nukes to create a glass parking lot in a wide swath from Tripoli to Islamabad, build a wall using deadly force along the entire southern border manned with state militias swollen with volunteers from around the country, and try for treason all the Marxist globalist infiltrators in our government and private institutions responsible for this decline.

So they will do EVERYTHING to change it...

I put the finishing touches on my military retirement packet this past weekend.

I don’t understand how a small minority of mal-adjusted
people could destroy the U. S. Military!

Let's start with something simple like living arrangements. Are they going to force straight guys to bunk with gay guys? If so, then why not let straight guys and girls live in the same barracks room? If not, then they will create three sets of barracks; one for gays, one for straight guys and one for straight women.

And that's just for starters.
