GREAT point!! Obama has his OWN army of civilian KIDS!! This is getting scary.
The Belgians never stopped a single nation from overrunning its borders, and barely is holding itself together now.
Any military they have might as well be for traffic control for invaders passing through.
I read your characterization of the pResident as a pimple on the @ss (which may be equally valid)...
I found the link to another page on this page.

At a General Court Martial whereof Brigr. General McIntosh was President (10th. March) Colo. William Cook of 12th. Pennsylvania Regiment tried for disobedience of orders in sundry instances (viz) About 20th. of December last when the Enemy advanced over Schuylkill, the Brigade to which he belonged was ordered and did march towards the Enemy, but Colo. Cook absented himself from his Regiment and did not join it again whilst on that service which was near ten days. After the Regiment was incamped again for about two days, Colo. Cook after having been refused leave of absence, did without leave abscond from Camp and did not return again until a few days since. For giving leave of Absence to Officers of his Regiment and reporting them absent without leave, by which they were brought to a trial by a Court-Martial and acquitted.
The Court having maturely considered the Evidence produced are of opinion that Colo. Cook after having been refused leave of absence, did without leave absent himself from Camp and did not return until near two months after he went away being a breach of General orders of 22nd. of december last and contrary to good order and military discipline and do sentence him on account of some particular Circumstances and on account of the good character he has sustained as an officer only to be reprimanded in General orders, but acquit him of furloughing his officers and reporting them absent without leave.
The Commander in Chief approves the sentence and hopes that the disgrace to an Officer of Colo. Cook’s rank of being found guilty of the Charge of quitting Camp without leave will be a sufficient reprimand.
At a General Court Martial whereof Colo. Tupper was President (10th March 1778) Lieutt. Enslin28 of Colo. Malcom’s Regiment tried for attempting to commit sodomy, with John Monhort a soldier; Secondly, For Perjury in swearing to false Accounts, found guilty of the charges exhibited against him, being breaches of 5th. Article 18th. Section of the Articles of War and do sentence him to be dismiss’d the service with Infamy. His Excellency the Commander in Chief approves the sentence and with Abhorrence and Detestation of such Infamous Crimes orders Lieutt.

At a Court of Inquiry held in the Brigade of Artillery whereof Lieutt. Colo. Strohbogh was President March 11th. 78, to examine into a Complaint exhibited by one John Willson against Captains Rice and Proctor Senior29 of Colo. Proctor’s Regiment for plundering and taking by force and for permiting the soldiers to take a quantity of houshold Furniture and other Articles from the Complainant. The Court after hearing the Evidence and Altercations of the Parties are of opinion that the charges exhibited against Captains Rice and Proctor Senior are groundless, consequently the Complaint quash’d.

If he can block this I'll be grateful to him.
You do have a way with words, Mr. Scott. Intended or not, made me laugh.
I believe I have found the problem. When I look at “preview” I noticed the last two parenthsis )) and not underlined in red on the URL when the page loads.
http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/mgw:@field(DOCID+@lit(gw110081))
Load the page as is, then when you get the error warning go to the URL and add the missing )), then hit enter.
It should load.
I watched most of the hearings.
McCain was the only obvious opponent of repealing DADT.
Thanks. That solved the problem.
BS.
Not even HALF of that number would quit.
Repeal of DADT is not as unpopular in the ranks as people think it is.
The old saying that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” so why do they want to change the system that would damage our military??? The military has kept our nation free since the late 1700’s so I say to the politicians, KEEP
YOUR F—KING HANDS OFF!!!! OIF Vet.
The Constitution grants Congress the power to pass rules for the regulation of our armed forces, not the stinkin’ leftist courts.
The very existence of the UCMJ is acknowledgment that not all of the rights accorded civilians apply to service members.
Who wants to go home on leave and be asked "how's the moral"? Being identified as one of a group of sex deviates is NOT what the disciplined fighting forces are intended to be.
“The gays will take over the military and other nations will laugh at us. Maybe not the Greeks given their history but the Belgians and others will.”
You are right we cater too, the smallest and most meaning less groups.
When rejecting the advances of a fag is declared a hate crime you’ll see a mass exodus of the REAL men and women in the military.
Remember how derelict Clinton was in the Oval Office, acquiring Lewinskys and practicing muff diving when he SHOULD HAVE BEEN seeing to the responsibilities of his Office? When the lid comes off of gay conduct the military will degenerate rapidly! IMHO
I’m still p-— about the fecal matter Harry Reid was blowing
about John McCain over this issue. I ‘d wish I could shove a potato up his tailpipe(or wherever) but to what avail our
system of government has been irretrievably broken for some time now. And the predictable actions of the Lame ducks only
proves my point. I sent e-mail to Mikey Mullen reminding him
of that Navy man who committed suicide when he discovered he had been wearing combat awards he never earned.I do not condone suicide-but find him more honorable than Mullen or Gates who violate their Oath in this evil act.
If massive numbers of troops are driven out of military life, we’ll be so fortunate as to have them in civilian life. I’m certain they won’t be Obama’s civilian forces.
I was trying to look at the positive side. I guess there is no positive side.
