A standing army we shall have, also, to execute the execrable commands of tyranny; and how are you to punish them? Will you order them to be punished? Who shall obey these orders? Will your mace-bearer be a match for a disciplined regiment?
It's not America that has made the this bad judgement--it's people who have gone against what America stands for. America stands for protection of individual rights (life, liberty, free speech, property, pursuit of one's own happiness). We pay the military to protect those rights, not to discriminate against people for exercising those rights.
that's why the end of America is coming soon...they should accept everybody incluiding gays..theres nothing wrong if they want to take it in their rear end..theyre human beings. You guys are retarded.
that's a pretty stark contrast over say... Canada? Or the Netherlands or Sweden or France or most any country in the EU. What I mean is American to Iran is a massive jump, and most of the listed countries above are truly freer than we are in America.
Yeah but still America is sort of like Iran but Christian and a little more civilized, that's why they don't like each other, they're in oppsite ends. They still have to grow much more. In the government there is a lot of discrimination, their laws still don't grant gay people full rights and there are lots of people with doble moral standards. They preach one thing but do the opposite, in few words there is too much hipocrasy in America. Peace!
I agree. I advocate the beautiful, glorious, heaven-on-earth concept of "Individual Rights"--life, liberty, property, pursuit of one's own happiness in one's own way win or lose. That's morality in my book.
What an ignorant caller - "would you rather be in a foxhole with John Wayne or Liberace"?
That isn't even the choice since Liberace types are not volunteering to join the military in the first place. But a lot of manly John Wayne types that happen to be gay ARE in the military, should STAY in the military, and in fact be ENCOURAGED to join the military. More power to anybody that wants to be in the military voluntarily.
It is sad how backward ass America is on this issue.
There have been gays serving in the military since their inception. It's not the gays who pose a threat - they are committed to carrying out their mission -it's the homophobia that has been so prevalent in military culture that is the real threat to troop safety and the cohesiveness that is a necessary component of any fighting force.

I think it's pretty open minded. See how long you'd live in the middle-east if you were openly gay. I'd pick America over Iran anyday.

If someone is prepared to put their life on the line to defend my life and freedoms then I could care less who they fall in love with.
