Does this ASS make my truck look big?
Except we really aren't anymore. It is time we get our heads around that.
To wit:
Our dollar is worth but a fraction of what it once did, and it is heading south..
Superpowers loan money, not borrow it.
Superpowers have natural resources, and they use them to manufacture things. Those goods are then sold across the globe, making the superpower, well, a super power. We don't do that anymore.
Superpowers have strong leaders who are admired and respected around the world. We don't have that going on.
Superpowers make themselves critical to the economies and security of other nations. They all could survive just fine without us.
Superpowers hold education as one of the most priceless and valuable features of their culture. The US? Not so much. Most high school grads are no where near as smart as a 5th grader in India.
Superpowers have innovation and celebrate excellence in science and technology. What have we done lately? We have the iPad. And Google. And freaking Twitter.
Need I go on? We have the most amazing soldiers and sailors on the planet, but we no longer have the full force of a superpower government to back them up. Watch how fast we bail on Afghanistan.
The United States invented the concept of superpower. Now we can only hope for a seat at the table.
We were great once and we can be again. But start letting that idea sink in: sadly there is nothing super about America's power anymore.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
A bald faced lie!
The late, great American Military. RIP
The Republican Party just needs to make it clear that they intend to reinstate the ban in 2 years. If you come out or enlist in the meantime, your career will be quite truncated...
I think you’re right.
The casting couch now moves to the commodants office.
What is that? Did she walk out of Wal Mart with a TV under there?
People who engage in homosexual acts demean their bodies and have no honor or character. That is what the homosexual muslim in the white house wants.
He wants a military devoid of morality—like the homosexual Nazi Brownshirts (and Hitler who also had a sexual perversion as do a lot of serial killers such as Dahmers, Gacy, etc.
He wants to recreate Pagan Rome and Greece or the homosexual ancient Japanese armies. He wants to destroy the US.
The best way to do that is destroy the moral character of the servicemen—to make them like the Nazis and the inhumane Russian (atheist) military.
Patton loathed the inhumanity of the Russians.
It is the Christian paradigm that made our military the best in the world and the most humane in the history of all armies. No other army has been as great.
ROFLMAO. You are too funny.
Somehow, “rear admiral” just has a different meaning today than it did yesterday.
One thing that never gets mentioned is that of the 17000 discharges the homosexual agenda crowd constant bemoans, almost 100 percent of those are people who came forward and submitted a request to be discharged. What gets even less press is that almost 100 percent of those requesting discharge are either facing a pending deployment or, in the case of the Navy, about to wash out of the nuclear power program and get sent to the fleet as “nuclear waste” a fate most wish to avoid. You will now see a spike in people claiming drug use or actually doing drugs to get out. What made the homosexual discharge so appealing is that the DD-214 said “honorable discharge”
Thomas Jefferson wrote homosexuality should have a harsher punishment than bestiality. He stated it is more dangerous to society.
I do not think the military should be used for social engineering. Whats next/ Unions for soldiers? They can strike for better wages? Elections of Officers from the ranks as more “Democratic?” Where do we stop? When will these “reforms” end in lives being lost, battles lost and the USA occupied by foreigners? How many will die over this? How many Gay soldiers will be fragged in battle? maybe I’m wrong but it seems like a way to win votes with the gay community and not a way to win wars.
15 years ago I was seeing a single mother in the base hospital ER. She was an E-3 with a chart 4 inches thick. We looked at it carefully and discovered that this girl had been on sick call and quarters more often than formation.
At the time the gun grabbers were thinking they would make some strides against us and I remember telling my partner, “Actually, this is a good thing. We may have to fight this army ourselves someday. (pointing at her) This is the army I want to fight...”
Yeah, the day may come when we are pretty happy the army is mostly homos and single mothers.
Well one of the reasons most young men join the combat corps is because generally its a place where you can be yourself - a heterosexual man. I know there is no way in hell I would have joined the Army when I was younger if I would have had to share barracks etc with homosexuals.
So now homosexuals can watch their fellow soldiers get naked. They can interrogate enemy troops. They can now do all manner of things.
It is obviously a disgrace. Not just for the USA but all nations that have embraced similar laws.
