Admiral Mullen on Don't Ask, Don't Tell

[TheLegendofPatrick]

Very vague and cleverly answered, notice how Mike dodges giving his own opinion on TV and underline's the President's.

Smart man.

[huskie767]

Which group of Muslims will kill Mike Mullen?

[huskie767]

will gays make the US military more effective and successful? Or will gays cause the US Military to re-gress like Britain, France and Germany's have encountered or the past 20+ years? I hope no one is killed or maimed because of this new distraction. Odd and unusual quote of the Day: "I've served with homosexuals since 1968." ADM Michael Mullenhead. Too bad the Chairman is more focused on social engineering tharather than destroying Al Qaida. Thanks Mike!

[animefareast]

104 fags have been prosecuted by the UCMJ for the past 4 years for sexual harrassment, rape and child rape.

[animefareast]

what about gay soldiers like myself who are being effected

Who gives a fuck about you pole smoking ass hole.

[animefareast]

faggot loving bastard. I think he's a faggot himself. Fire the son of a bitch for betraying our military and as the disgrace to the Navy he is!

[blumenthol]

Mike Mullen couldn"t lead a pack of hungry kittens to a bowl of warm milk. He's an exam,ple of how a guy can kiss ass all the way to the top because he's not all that sharp and his uniform doesn't hide that fact as well as he thinks.

[TeachingsofEvil]

@blumenthol he's a senior military advisor, what the fuck are you posting shit on youtube?

faggot

[dino0967]

Admiral Mullen went on to testify on February 2nd, before the US Senate Armed Services Committee calling for Don't Ask Don't Tell to be repealled completely.

[ltTexwood]

If gay soldiers cause trouble then they will be disciplined... If straight soldiers don't agree with homosexuality and cause trouble then they to will be disciplined... Look this is the military we do what we're told and the only reason why politicians and generals are speaking out against a repeal of DADT saying that it will ruin unit cohesion is because they themselves have issues with homosexuality. And yes I am currently serving in the military. I'm a paralegal; that should answer your..

[3RWE3]

@ltTexwood Start your own gay army douchebag

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Stop complaining. Don't enlist if it's such a problem for you. The rules don't bend for thee.

[huskie767]

Like McChrystal, Mullen should retire immediately. Mullen is even more disappointing than Colin Powell.

[JimmyFormerMarine]

How will having a bunch of queers in our military benefit the United States? I don't get it.

[ltTexwood]

@JimmyFormerMarine well if those queers(as you put it) can perform their job then it would benefit our millitary. The question you should be asking yourself is how will allowing gays soldiers to serve openly hurt our military because I haven't heard a good argument yet.

[JimmyFormerMarine]

@ltTexwood What if they cause trouble. Then what? Did you serve in the military? What was your MOS? What do you know about the UCMJ and military discipline?

[ltTexwood]

@JimmyFormerMarine question on what I know about UCMJ. The bottom line is that people should look at facts and the think about the good of the soldiers.... Instead of allowing their personal views to influence military policy

[JimmyFormerMarine]

@ltTexwood The bottom line is military discipline. Read the UCMJ. Everything is there. In the Marine Corps the most important thing are the General Orders and the UCMJ. There is no question of personal views. You leave your personal views at home the day you take the oath of enlistment.

[dino0967]

@JimmyFormerMarine, Yes the bottom line IS military discipline!!! I have read some ot the UCMJ. Gay and lesbian servicemembers will adhere to that discipline!!!

[JimmyFormerMarine]

@dino0967 The ones that do never have a problem. It is the Communist ACLU that is the problem, not the military.

[dino0967]

@JimmyFormerMarine 

[ltTexwood]

@JimmyFormerMarine That's exactly my point and when DADT is repealed... the command will issue the orders and the soldiers will have no choice but to follow those orders. Everyone talks about how the straight soldiers will be effected.. what about gay soldiers like myself who are being effected and having to lie about who they are. Do you understand that sexuality is apart of life and asking people to not talk about it doesn't work. Im constantly asked by my straight peers about my sex life

[JimmyFormerMarine]

@ltTexwood "Im constantly asked by my straight peers about my sex life" LOL! Do expect that to change? Do you think that is something new? The answer is no to both.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

They can't be out and advertise it. Although Congress has preempted the study to force a dangerous social experiment on our armed forces.

[ltTexwood]

@ToxicOdiousOne dangerous? really

Who wants to be out and advertise their sexuality because I don't. It has been my experience that straight soldiers advertise their sexuality while gay soldiers do their best to stay private. Everyone focuses on the the Don't Tell part but do you realize that means I'm not allowed to be myself even when I out of uniform. It's not about going to work and telling every soldier that I'm gay. It's about being able to be myself in my private life w/o having to fear

[ToxicOdiousOne]

A rouge is always light on feet.

[iChristian91206]

That new Navy uniform makes him look like Hitler

[conimahoni]

they know n01 wants to join army,they let gay ppl to join army now

[sapher2020]

Fuck this nerd! He dresses to impress, but so did the Nazis!

[hangthesobs]

Remember your OATH! "Against ALL Enemies, Foreign and Domestic!"

When you catch a politician LYING and it can get a citizen or a fellow soldier KILLED? They are an enemy to the USA. PERIOD. If their lie HURTS America. YOU should be against THAT too! IF you think Rep Politicians LOVE America, then you haven't been watching their voting or listening to them speak.

They want & VOTE to make OUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF fail. PERIOD!

THAT's ANTI-AMERICA(N)! PERIOD!  SCREW all their HYPE & LIES!

[hangthesobs]

It's ALSO against the rules for enlisted to fraternize with officers. Hated that as a Lt.

Why the military BRAINWASHES the enlisted people to think that THEY are the only ones who "WORK FOR A LIVING", is beyond me. Teach soldiers to HATE their commander's education. CLICK! THAT sounds REALLY familiar! US Constitution DEMANDS equality ...PERIOD. Don't like it?...LEAVE!

Or if you're an ALWAYS RIGHT Rep, you always change it with Pres. decrees, LIES, & picking RADICAL Court JUDGES!

[SethKlan]

ToxicOdiousOne - now even the top leaders in our military are advocating lifting the ban. I served with gays in the military for 15 years. Anyone who acts inappropriately by engaging in sexual activity outside of marriage while in uniform (or on base) is court martialed. Why are you so stubborn that you think everyone in the military has to fuck the same way you do when they are in the privacy of their own bedroom, off base.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

So if the President says we should allow terrorists in the military we just allow terrorists in the military? The President is never wrong? The President always gets what he wants? Avoid a polarizing debate? How? So the military won't fight emasculation? Just roll over? Well there go heterosexuality. We failed to defend it from attack. I guess being heterosexual will become a crime within a matter of time. Who cares right? It's not like anything matter anymore. Rules are never followed.

[GCWTitan]

@ToxicOdiousOne WHAT? You are aware that the same arguments on this issue were raised when trying to segregate the military right? The President is the commander n chief and his generals also feel that the military is ready to allow this. Also I've served in the Army for 6 years now and I can tell you that gays are already in the military so the rest of the country should pretty mind stfu because they are not the ones defending the nation yet they wish to tell military how it should operate.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

@GCWTitan Excuse me if we don't want our military to be an embarrassment. Americans are not sodomites. I don't want sodomites mocking America overseas. It won't operate with faggots and dykes. Why entertain their delusions that sex and sexuality are public. It will be the military's funeral.

Do you think George Washington or our founding fathers would make such a terrible mistake? George Washington would not want sodomites in the military.

[GCWTitan]

@ToxicOdiousOne I'm sorry ur such an ignorant asshole but gays serving in the military doesn't effect its ability to carry out any mission and again I'll add the fact that gays already serve in the military and in many cases they are open because we don't give a fuck if the soldier can perform on the missions he or she are attached to. Why don't you sign up yourself or again STFU. All this bs thats going on is just for the benefit of dumb asses but the military will march on as it always has

[ToxicOdiousOne]

@GCWTitan Sir the policy is no gays. You know of gays? Aren't you complicit in violating policy then? What good are regulations if they go unenforced? So you violate this policy as well by allowing gays? You violate a direct order? Militaries must have discipline or they will have disorder among the ranks. So by not enforcing the decree you show your lack of respect for the military. How dare you disrespect the military like this! I can't believe that everyone is assisting these sodomites.

[xzrhsb]

@ToxicOdiousOne the policy is not what you state it is. gays are allowed. they just cant tell and no one can ask.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

@GCWTitan Assisting sodomites in breaking the military law? Just because you don't enforce the law and pretend it isn't there because is so damned inconvenient for your far left agenda does not mean the law doesn't exist.

I know the military. Except the military I know you do as you are directed. So basically laws mean nothing to you? Directives mean nothing to you? I'd hate to be you.

[GCWTitan]

@ToxicOdiousOne No the agenda is from the far right and that agenda is to restrict freedom. Just as it was during the civil rights movement the country fights for the freedoms for all and does not care for close minded prejudice right wing nuts

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Sodomist lies. If gays do anything wrong they blame homophobia. We know your game Mr sodomite and we are no longer fooled. To compare sexual choice to black's struggles for civil rights is offensive. Blacks don't want to be lumped in with sodomites. Close minded? Oh how dare I! Rofl. It's a free country. Guess what freedom means you can't force your open minded agenda on me or any Americans who disagrees. Believe what you will, but don't force your far left politics on us.

[GCWTitan]

@ToxicOdiousOne Believe what you will but don't force your far right oppression on us. At the end of the day no matter how much you hate it progress will move forward so deal with it or STFU.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

How can we discriminate about that which we have no knowledge of or business knowing?

[GCWTitan]

@ToxicOdiousOne Also you ignorant far right nut how is discriminating against a person because his of her sexual preference any different than the civil rights movement where dumb asses such as urself discriminated on people based on skin color. It must be nice to live it such state of pure ignorance.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Race is genetic. Race is not a behavior choice. Sex is private. How can I discriminate based on something I know nothing about and something which is none of business? It would be impossible. Thus discrimination based on sexual orientation is quite impossible you see.

[prolefeedprocessor]

@ToxicOdiousOne

I think it's just wonderful that you're making sweeping judgments about people whose lives you outright stated that you know nothing about.

"Sodomist"? "Sodomites"? I certainly hope you're not using those ancient Jewish fairy tales to justify discrimination.

For all your bluster, you've yet to demonstrate what's so horrible about gays or why we don't deserve equal rights.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

@prolefeedprocessor I am Jewish? I am an atheist. I have said that a government which values separation of church and state must not base it's foreign policy based on what the Nazi pope says or what is best for the Jewish state of Israel. I have stated that if Ahmadinejad bombed Israel it would not affect my life. I don't care about Israel.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

@prolefeedprocessor I hate they we care so much about the goddamn Jews. This violates separation of church and state to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. As an atheist I abhor Harry S Truman mistake. He allowed the spread of radical Islam in in Iran.

[prolefeedprocessor]

I didn't say you were Jewish. I was referring to the term "sodomite" which generally gets spewed out by Bible-thumpers, and originated with the (Jewish) Old Testament. You're going off on a tangent Israel and it's really confusing and irrelevant.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

@prolefeedprocessor Look at the Texas textbook war. They want to excise the Constitution and our founding fathers so liberals can start history in 1877 after Reconstruction. This seems funny to me. If progressives want to excise the civil war they they can't complain about slavery and females can't complain about oppression. Opression from what? Then it's pro amnesty.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

@prolefeedprocessor We do need to indoctrinate our children with gay history. Sex and history would be innapropriate. What child needs to learn based on debunked rumors that Abraham Lincoln might have been gay? It is disrespectful to the office of the President to speak so ill of him. Luckily progressives won't talk about Lincoln anyway.

[prolefeedprocessor]

Nobody is indoctrinating children. I am 19, so the public school system is in my recent past. Most gay people roll their eyes at the "Lincoln was gay" extremists, let alone straight people. There is no "gay history" taught in schools. It's illegal in most states to mention anything gay in class.

But how would it be speaking ill of someone to say they are gay? You're not really explaining that part at all.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

@prolefeedprocessor Because the radicals want to attack our history like all totalitarians do. They attack history. If we don't know our history we will believe any liar. We will be misled. They are trying to tell impressionable children that historical figures were gay and "tolerated" to gain more acceptance for homosexuality. Would you respect Abraham Lincoln if he was gay or would it diminsh him?

[prolefeedprocessor]

Also, even if there were "gay history" being taught, it's not about "sex". Gay is no more sexual than straight is. Or should we not talk about the fact that historical figures got married?

[ToxicOdiousOne]

@prolefeedprocessor Those who control the past control the future.

[prolefeedprocessor]

I agree with all your principles about the wrongs revisionist history. Don't get me wrong. And I'm not on anyone's side. I'm neither left nor right.

But no, it wouldn't diminish someone if they were gay. That part sounds like a personal problem. And you still haven't explained why it WOULD be bad.

You have a beef with people who rewrite history. Great. But you've said a lot more than just that and haven't explained it at all.

[xzrhsb]

@ToxicOdiousOne. I would suspect you to be a bit light on your feet if you never wanted a woman to commit sodomy on you. What red blooded American male wouldn’t want a woman to commit sodomy on them? perhaps a whiny wimp that is afraid of women.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Just because enforcement has been lax does not mean no law exists. It does not mean that criminals do not exist. I'm glad senators aren't judges.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

What a fag enabler this guy is. Who would want AIDS and other STDs spreading throughout the military like biowarfare? What a stupid decision. The military exists for dangerous social engineering experiments now? I thought the military existed to protect us. I just lost respect for this institution. They aren't willing to defend their values? Women in the military have completely feminized these men. Now they spout radical dyke feminism.

[Rammstein16]

that's not Mikey Mullen, that's Ben Stein's brother!

[yamiyugikun]

What a politically charged issue! This delves right into identity politics, in which people focus on what separates them, rather than what joins them as human beings. As Gen. Petraeus says, "I spend my life avoiding mine fields." Adm. Mullen is doing the same to avoid mine fields. Considering how charged this debate is, I cannot help but support Adm. Mullen in treading it as carefully as possibe. What would Adm. Nimitz from WWII say on this topic?

[mikebyrd42069]

damn barry sucks

[rg0057]

"measured and deliberate"? He's got to be kidding.  Gays and lesbians are already in the military, serving with honor, many times with the full knowledge of other troops, and many times keeping that truth to themselves. All that needs to happen is you stop kicking them out. It doesn't take much effort to NOT do something. What a weasel.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

They are violating an order. Gays in the military are like illegal immigrants. We don't need diversity. We need security. Public sexuality has no place in the military. Do we have openly gay teachers teaching children? Openly gay judges? No. So why start with the military?

[alloutacash]

The interviewer is such a right wing tool.

[mikebyrd42069]

well lib that is George Stephanopoulos he is a lib and he worked for bill clinton

[MrConservativecat]

God does not want an open military and either do I !!!

[ToxicOdiousOne]

I don't want open borders for illegals either.

[MrConservativecat]

Obama does

[TheProgressistViewer]

Its neither not either... moron. Did you miss our entry in the 21st century? you know 10 years ago...

[MrConservativecat]

I write in any manner I please you faghag liberal, progressive abortionist pig!

[TheProgressistViewer]

Lol a faghag is a woman who dates gay people trying to pass for straight men. The word you were looking for is fag, with no hag at the end. Moron (2)

[MrConservativecat]

I believe faghag is appropriate in your case. I knew you would respond like you did, miss faghag !

[MrConservativecat]

I noticed you did not mind the other descriptions.......good fit.....eh

[TheProgressistViewer]

ur quite funny, im not a liberal, not a progressive as it is ment in the united states, in canada progressive means conservative., im no abortionist either. You're just an homophobic lunatic and you can't put 2 sentences together without using words you don't understand the meaning of. That's all

[MrConservativecat]

you are an asshole. (#1 sentence)

you are a pig. (#2 sentence)

[MrConservativecat]

And you are a left wing idiot

[SuperTubtub]

Adm Mullen is not showing leadership and not answering the question. Show leadership and ask to repeal DADT! If 25 other countries have allowed gays to serve in their military without any problem, what is your fear? We have a problem in the military senior leadership and Adm Mullen is one of them.
