This guy Mullen has got to go. I don’t know how it can be forced as long as Obama in C-I-C, but somehow or other, he has got to go. He’s beginning to make Wesley Clark almost look good.
Being a Friend of Bill had nothing to do with my promotions, really.
*shaking head*
In our times the criminal, the bungled, the defective and the perverted are favored by the leadership class. Already the normal, the healthy and the law abiding are being punished.
Well, okie dokie, Admiral, but who is going to fight your wars?!
This little bastard who is a leading gay activist who leaked classified information to Wikileaks?!
The rotten thing about this is that you can’t prove a negative......if this comes to pass, anytime a homosexual is inconvenienced, passed over, shunned, offended, mocked, criticized or generally made to feel bad - it will be because they are “gay” and to prove otherwise will be very difficult. Additionally, I wonder if Ad. Mullen would like his boy next to an HIV+ soldier in a fierce firefight....if they haven’t thrown their weapon down and run away already.
What is the problem these people have with just keeping their mouths shut?
The entire controversy is over "what you do" - it is about a behavior, not about a name or an ethnicity.

Homosexuality is also about "what you do, not what you are".
yah...the Women at Sea Program carried much the same threat. When I was onboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Air Boss called an Air Department muster, and he told us in no uncertain terms that there would be dire consequences for any kind of sexual harassment of the females who were about to join us for three weeks of CarQuals off the Vacapes OpArea.
“If one of them is heading toward a spinning prop, and you tackle her and save her life, but touch her tits when you do, you will end up in the brig.”
Unquote.
The Navy has had problems with Women at Sea, especially with Auxiliary and support vessels like tenders where many of them land for their sea duty tour, when many of them simply popped pregnant and departed the Command overseas partway through a scheduled deployment leaving the ship undermanned in more than a few shipboard divisions.
If DADT is redacted, Mullen will find himself in a very awkward position; potentially prosecuting productive sailors who will not put up with homosexuals quietly. This is just insanity, and it will not end well. Unfortunately we will find out the hard way just how destructive this BS will be when the troops start voting with their feet and leaving the service.
Mullen needs to find another line of work. He is unfit to lead.
Obviously Mullen never heard of the saying that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.....Can any say how ending DADT will improve combat effectivness? OIF vet.
So, if "who you are" is a traitor, that's not a problem for him?
I am almost surprised Mullen made such an idiotic remark. However, he is obviously FOR pushing that obscene agenda that he doesn’t care.
They love it at work when I force others to hear/accept my particular sexual proclivities. I want to screw my bosses daughter, and this a$$hole and my wife have a problem with it...? Wonder how things would work out if I wanted to screw his boy...?
Anyone who allows others to force them to accommodate and publicly impose/sanction/accept what should remain private proclivities or perversions is not a warrior anyhow.
Respectfully Admiral Mullen, where you put your junk is not "who you are".
"Who you are" is a lot more than where you put your junk.
I predict much wailing and knashing of teeth in the Pentagon this time next year once the retention rates plummet and Uncle Sam suddenly has another personnel crisis on its hands.
