Hillary Clinton: Those kicked out of military for being gay should get honorable discharges
The Washington Post's PostPolitics ^ | October 3, 2015 | Anne Gearan

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton proposed Saturday that military records be amended to upgrade dishonorable discharges imposed on gay, lesbian and transgender military veterans.

People drummed out of the armed services in years past for being gay should be able to get their records changed to reflect an honorable discharge, Clinton said.

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell is over, but that doesn't change the fact that more than 14,000 men and women were forced out of the military for being gay, some long before Don't Ask, Don't Tell even existed," Clinton said, referring to the 1993 law that allowed gays and lesbians to serve in the military if they did not reveal their sexual orientation.

"They were given less than honorable discharges," Hillary Clinton said. "I can't think of a better way to thank those men and women for their service than by upgrading their service records."(continued)

She does realize that they make up, at best, 5% of the population, right?

Yes Hillary let’s talk about don’t ask don’t tell. That was the policy put in place when your husband was president.

If you were against don’t ask don’t tell why didn’t you speak up at the time about it?

Heck, why were you against homosexual marriage until you did that half assed video for homosexual Human Rights Campaign in 2013??? Why did you wait until it was safe politically to support homosexual issues, if you feel so strongly about it?????

And based on Hillary’s shenanigans, the Rosenbergs should get full pardons.

Before DADT, homosexuals had to lie to enlist. They were run out of the service for lying along with committing behaviors that got them caught. Those who kept their illness to themselves were not bothered.

That headline was misspelled, it should have read “Horrible Discharges”, NOT honorable. Coming from Hitlary who is another lying POS that belongs in jail.

And even in this homophobic, oppressive nation full of intolerant rubes the gay community is generally more affluent and donates to campaigns much more than average.

Many of them weren’t “forced” out - they used it as a get out of the military free card.

The economy and employment are in the toilet. Islam and illegal aliens are invading America. Foreign policy is a joke. However, the bimbo thinks that honorable discharges for homosexuals is an important issue. I can’t believe the freeloading, low information types are going to try to elect this idiot to the presidency.

Every last thing Hillary says is a result of a cold political calculation: Will the statement result in a net gain in votes?

I am quite certain she would support the killing of puppies if that would somehow get her closer to the White house.

Most only end up with a burning discharge.

This dimwit, incompetent, liar, lesbian, alcoholic, malignant, degenerate, commie idiot knows nothing about anything. She is like a chicken with its head cut off...running around in bad circles until it runs out of blood. May Justice find her and her ilk.

Wasn’t there a big fuss that the Marines wouldn’t take Hillary?

Is all this bs she throws at the military because she was too pathetic to be a Marine?
