  • @dodofrog2 gays have always been a part of our military, just not openly.  Just cuz were gay doesn't mean we're sissies. Alexander the great was gay, and he was one of the greatest tacticians of all time.

  • General Betrayus at it again...

  • If where gonna let the fags in the military we minus well let the women do the fighting

  • @dodofrog2 Stay in school, also, pay attention in English class.

  • Does this feather boa clash with my combat boots?

  • Serving openly will create a whole new level of tension, lawsuits, rules, disciplines, additional training ie sensitivity training, morale problems, infighting, and a whole host of unnecessary soldiers will have to endure because of PC! It is more important than training men and women to keep the country safe. You think our soldiers aren’t stresses enough? Is that it? You want to throw more PC garbage at them? You’re ok with disrupting what has worked since the beginning of our military history?

  • @BlackRepublican2010 Funny, it wasn't that long ago, historically speaking, that neither women nor blacks were allowed in the military as equals. I'm sure the African Americans fighting for equality would have been okay with an hour's worth of sensitivity training so people didn't fucking kill them out of ignorant hate.

  • Sooo where is the money gonna come from to build private shower and toilets?! Guess this is Obama's secret way of cutting the military in half like he said he wanted to!

  • Why is our military appeasing criminals? DADT doesn't force dishonest criminals to lie.

  • I didn't hear the U.S. military complaining when the British military among others joined our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, a military that has openly gay men and women fighting alongside our own. Where was the lack of cohesion and morale then?

  • Quit stalling! Paid 40 million for a "study" when there are already 25 countries that have openly gay service members. All they have to do is make a few phone calls, read a few newspapers. They're scared of the homophobic fundamentalists crybabies. Get it the Hell done! Repeal DADT!!!

  • @quarterexchange

    Whats funny is that you misunderstood yourself. You obviously understand genetics. So if homosexuality was genetic, then the "Gay" gene would eventually disappear because gays don't reproduce. And even when they do, it's in small numbers and then still, the gene would disappear. So it has to be a choice. It can't be genetic then. Everything else is in your head!

  • @SGThartman762 If you think being gay is a choice then you have never known anyone who is gay or you are just very ignorant.

  • Thank you General Petraeus.

  • I wonder if Petraus' motive is to just get as many soldiers to enlist as possible.

    The whole DODT thing is ridiculous in the first place though. Why would a gay person even bring up the fact that he's gay in the first place? It has nothing to do with anything. We're in the middle of two wars. Peepee parts is the last thing on Todd's mind.

  • Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT)....Don't Osk Don't Tell is the Russian Military.

  • "You don't have to be straight to shoot straight." Barry Goldwater

  • Blacks weren't allowed until a certain point, just like women. Gays are different because they already are. A black person can't- all of a sudden- after 12 years come out and say: "Hey guys, I'm black." It wouldn't make sense. They're two different things.

  • They are just adding more potential soldiers by getting rid of DADT just as they opened it up for blacks, then women...ect now it's gays.

  • @ocnad88 Military people are some of the smartest people on the planet,H Kissinger is a idiot.

  • ocnad88, you have no clue of what you're talking about, and it is obvious that you are one of those idiots out there who are anti-military no matter what. You're as pathetic as your channel. Do us all a favor and go back to drinking toilet water on all fours, OK?

  • @ocnad88

    You can't compare gays and African Americans. Being gay is a choice. Being black isn't. They don't compare at all.

  • This is kinda of third-grade silly. If being gay will cause a problem in the military, I would think it would have shown up already. So, if your gay you can't distinguish between your work and your personal life? I worked with a gay guy once, didn't even know he was gay until someone else told me. If you cause a problem, heterosexual or not, you should be kicked out, simple. How is it, our government gets us to rehash the same crap over and over? But, never seems to fix the real issues.

  • Damn if that chip on his chest gets any bigger....

    (someone finish this sentence for me, im not feeling creative right now but someone should definitely comment on that thing, it's humongous!)

  • @ImTheMostViewed Then we'll have to invade it!

  • haha nice!

  • Fail Videos!! @ My Channel !!

  • what is DADT?

  • If you're gay, don't ask don't tell.

  • @KuostA Don't Ask Don't Touch

  • We all know the Conservatives are going to fight tooth and nail against repealing DADT. The Liberals need to use their power and repeal it before the Conservatives win back the house and the senate in November. Anybody with a brain knows Democrats are going to get massacred in November so they should use the time they have now to repeal it and so they can at least have a fighting chance at their districts.

  • Like liberals are going to serve anyway, give me a break. I challenge anybody to find one CSM or 1SG, you know the leaders who actually spend time with the troops. that supports repealing DADT.

  • @1776iscoming

    Exactly.

  • Supreme Allied Commander Wesley Clark would like to have a word with you.

    He's one of them "flaming libruls".

  • Do you even know what a "Supreme Allied Commander" is? Now, do you know the difference between that and a CSM like what we were talking about?

    Do some of us a favor, stop butting in conversations about things you have NO clue what they are about, toughguy. Watching war movies and The War Room with Wolf Blitzer doesn't make you any kind of military expert.

    Personally, I can't wait to make these fags lives a living hell. Oh, and watch that blue on blue fire, that would be terrible ( wink wink).

  • @LibsMakeGr8Sandbags

    Oh right, I'm a liberal so the only things I know about the military Iare the thing I gather from Michael Bay movies. Riiiighht.

    Wesley Clark was SACEUR, and he was a lowly 1SG once upon a time. He got shot in vietnam four times. And he's just fine working with gays.

  • @Porsche51688

    Well, we're not. And we are not retired either. We'll be right here waiting for them in our special little way that you can't even imagine.

    I hope your little social experiment is worth it, we have a different set of rules we play by in our little world.

    At least we won't be bored. lol

  • @1776iscoming,

    As if you know for certain that all in the miltiary thinks like you....

    And what's with your username? So does that mean you'd like to see blacks as slaves, and women with limited to almost no rights as it were back in 1776?

  • I just ETS'd from the Army, so ya, I think I have a pretty good feel of the general mood of the military. You believe the Declaration of Independence is a racist and sexist document? If not, the username is pretty self explanatory.

  • @1776iscoming,

    The Declaration of Independence is open to interpretations. Do you really believe that when it says, "All men are created Equal" do you believe it to be only white men, and not women nor Black men? And I'm glad you ETS's from the Army. Good, out with the old, and in with the new. The military is filled with new generations of open-minded Americans. I know, because I'm still in the military (14 years now and couting), and I'm okay with Gays in the military.

  • jusitke, couldn't agree with you more. I ETS'd from the Army 7 years ago, and I'm happy to see that enlightenment is finally spreading through the ranks. I served with a bunch of people that I knew to be either Gay or Lesbian, and they were always professionals who got the job done and who contributed to the mission with the best of them. I thank you for being open-minded and for serving our fantastic Country in uniform!!

  • About damn time.

    And for the record, although the opinions of current military personnel are important on this issue, it should not be the determining factor. Many soldiers were opposed to blacks serving, and many are still opposed to women serving. That hasn't stopped us from incorporating them.

    Either way, polling tends to support the notion that the military is ready for this change.

  • Yeah, when did they poll us? 2002. You better look up what we had to say.

    And blacks? lol yeah, they make great cooks and supply clerks. Just like the outside world. Go figure.

  • The Old World is turning slowly to dust around us. Thank God.

  • I liked it when one guy said "gays are too precious to put in the military."

  • They are a precious commodity.

  • The only people stopping this are old generation very conservative guys. Most of young folks in the military don't care about it. It will actually be better since they will know who is gay or straight.

    Many Lesbians have more cojones and energy that some guys.

    Let them serve.

  • fuck yeah lesbo's you are talking about the good looking ones right?

  • It's about time....To all the skeptics who claimed that because the joint chiefs were political appointees and therefore not authorities on the matter, here's a guy who has been a commanding officer under two administrations - who also agrees we must repeal DATD. Now, what's your objection?
