  • It is real funny reading some of these posts. It just shows your stupidity and you are all having a hard time because a HOMO went in YOUR PLACE so you could stay here talking your shit.

  • I SERVED in the United States Army and though this law was in affect barring homosexuals and lesbians we had our share of homos and lesbians in our unit. I tell you I was raised with the belief that homo's and lesbians were fire bound in hell but after being in this war I have a hard time now believing in God. I killed many people including children am now disabled but I will salute any Gay man or woman that served in this war. Those are REAL WARRIORS.

  • These are real men and women although they are gay and Lesbian they are becoming the Strength of Americas Military. They are the ones that choose to not have children and stay in the military.

  • Us Men and Women get married and lead normal lives unlike Homosexuals or Lesbians that have no children or choose children after they have served. These people deserve respect for taking a bullet for America. I could not stand serving with Homos and lesbians until I went to war and saw those Homos and lesbians take bullets themselves. THAT IS A REAL PERSON WHO ALTHOUGH MAY FLIP LEFT WHEN YOU ALWAYS GO RIGHT THAT PERSON WILL HAVE YOUR BACK AND TAKE A BULLET FOR YOU.

  • why do democrats insist on fucking up the military with thier social experiments? oh wait, I forgot, they hate the U.S.

  • Once the mightiest military on the planet, now reduced to a flock of fairies by a democrat administration and two homosexuals named Gates and Mullin.

  • Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is a fag enabler?

  • No faggots and dykes in the military. The President is dead wrong. The military does not need queers. We are fighting two wars we don't need homosexual activists promoting a homosexual lifestyle. Why do we want troops who feel the need to make their private sexuality public? Why do we want troops to embarrass us to the world by defining themselves by who they fuck?

    This will damage unit cohesion and destroy any respect for the military after caving in to the homosexual mafia.

  • u are a homophobic... i am in the military.. i am straight.. i could care less if gay people are in the military... there are tons of people in the military... ur a dumb fuck

  • The only reason that this is an issue is because the faggots and dykes want to make it an issue with their communist tactics of fundamentally changing society (for the worse). We ought not embarrass our nation in the eyes of the world with this nonsense. Sexuality and and sex belong only in the private bedroom and never ever in public. I don't feel there should be sex scandals since sex and sexuality are private matters not public matters. I don't care who the President fucks or who Tiger fucks.

  • So, until this repeal there were no gays in the military is that it? The ones that are in there aren't exactly like Big Gay Al from South Park. I am sure they don't walk around with wine and virginia slims cigarettes screaming, "Hello Boyyyzzz!" I am also sure that those fighting wold just love for several people to have to go home leaving them shorthanded. You are some strategist, I bet you couldn't beat an autistic kid at battleship.

  • It's both. Their minds are closed, and they don't want to be informed. You cannot engage them on the facts. It's a waste of time to try. Spend time writing to your Senator or Representative, the President, or write an op/ed in favor of equality for your local newspaper instead.

  • @mistakenkailana - Gen19:5 "They called out to Lot and said - Where are the men who were with u tonight, send them out 2 us so we may know them carnally" The men of sodom were so perverse that Lot was willing 2 give them his virgin daughters to keep them at bay. When God made Adam a partner (from his own rib) ...... guess what? She wasnt a dude!! She didnt have a penus! I dont need a military history lesson either.

  • haha. not everyone believes in YOUR religion... you are so ignorant u shouldnt even be able to live during this time...

  • I am simply a Constitutionalist atheist who does not believe in a living document o empathy or victim politics of "minorities". It's all bullshit. George Washington never spoke of black slaves as "minorities".

  • So I am automatically religious because I oppose abortion and homosexuality? Atheists also oppose abortion and homosexuality for secular reasons. Respect for life is secular not religious. Everybody is treated differently get over it. Engineers aren't bankers. We have social hegemony. We are not the same. Inequality is therefore justifiable. Lawyers love to pursue this myth of equality. Equality will never exist. We will always have wars.

  • Just another sign of the decline.

  • Another thing.........Every war in the history of man has been OPTIONAL. Option A - Sit on your honches and wait for radical islam to come 2 you or Option B - Go meet it on its own soil.....and if you dont think that some of the slime we smoked over there wouldnt have eventually crept onto our soil to conduct his JIHAD then your probably the kind of dork that has a poster of Al Gore on his bedroom wall.

  • Ask any professional soldier in a specialized unit what he thinks of this issue......if the nutless leftwingers vote it in and it gets shoved down our throats keep the queers in a admin job behind a desk or a stove maybe let one turn a wrench if hes not worried about scratching his nail polish.....THE WORLDS GOING TO HELL BOYS.

  • haha. ur so fucking stupid... i can only laugh ;) great comment

  • The DADT policy aligns with the military policies of Yemen, Saudi Arabia, China, North Korea, Russia, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Algeria, Oman, Bahrain, & UAE. And yet our closest allies Israel, Mexico, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, South Africa, Philippines, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Columbia, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland, Poland, Italy, Luxembourg, Venezuela, etc. have no reports of unit cohesive problems with Gays

  • It's hysterical reading comments from rightwingers on this. After having 2 draftdodging Republicans (Bush/Cheney) start a purely optional war in Iraq in a vain attempt to erase their cowardly past, and cause the deaths and wounding of TENS OF THOUSANDS of troops, now they want to dictate military "cohesion" and "morale".

    Listening to rightwingers talk about the military is like listening to virgins talk about sex! HAHAHA~

  • Its no suprise that our government is slipping further from the godly principles that the country was based on.....remember what happened to the polesmokers in sodom-gomorah. Wake up!! "one man 4 one woman. They wont survive in a community of warriors. Maybe we can use them 2 pick up our brass off the range.

  • @combatdiver325 Why do people like you, missuse the bible to support hate and bigotry? Sodom was destroyed not because of Homosexuality, it was destroyed for RAPE. The forcing of oneself onto someone deemed inferior to themselves by sexually penetrating outsiders to prove they were superior. It was a common practice 2000 years ago, Conquering armies, raped boys, girls, women and men to prove thier dominance over defeated countries. That is rape not homosexuality.

  • Right after this statement of Gates. he should have been marched to the nears wall and shot.

    Now that we all know Gates is a faggot.

  • lol, gays in the millitary, this would be a good episode title of family guy. WTF. so the US has no values now?

  • I find it quite troublesome when people take all that is bad & deviant like Polygamy, Zoophilia, Pedophilia, Necrophilia, Incest, Rape, and blame it on Homosexuals anyway. Yes there are reports of Homosexuals doing these deviances, but I do believe there are a lot more reports of Heterosexual men practicing Polygamy, Zoophilia, Pedophilia, Necrophilia, Incest, and rape.

  • What sets human apart from all other animals is their ability to think aobut thinking and discern, to put together events that occured at different times and places, to form abstract concepts, and to ponder on things to find solutions to problems, mathematical calculations, form languages and codes, societal mores and human enlightenment of the divine. That's the difference between us and animals. So with that said, dogs...can't do all that right?

  • "Your treatment against zoophiles is the same heterosexuals have against homosexuals"

    You subtly trying to blame Zoophilia on Homosexuals. Why are you doing that Dogneedpleasuretoo? Heterosexuals, Bisexuals, and Homosexuals are equal to each other, by why are you singleing out Homosexuals to that of zoophilia? This is about Gays in the military

  • Okay Dogsneedpleasuretoo do you want to debate with me on Gays in the military?

  • They should ban heterosexuals from serving in the military.... Homosexuals are the best warriors.. Heteros are too fucking unstable to serve in the military.

  • you dont have rights in the military! so shut up and serve!

  • And while you're at it michaelmansuniv, get a hold of the documentar film, "FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO" You'd be amazed at how much Gay Christians love Jesus just as much as Straight Christians do. So don't impose your religious interpretations on ohters' religious freedoms, and start loving your neighbor's on how you would want to be loved in return. Because that is un-American, un-Constitutional, and most of all it's not being Christ-like

  • If it passes it will just be another chink in our armour.....liberal politicians and their nutless craving to satisfy political correctness. The real war-fighters will never stand for it even when they try to shove it down our throats.....they have bent the standards in the conventional units by letting females in and now open homosexuality? Whats next? Pink uniforms? Lipstick on men?

  • It's a matter of modesty. Just as I wouldn't undress in front of a woman unless she were my wife, I wouldn't feel comfortable undressing in front a man whose sexual orientation is toward other men. It creates disharmony within the ranks, and disrupts unit cohesion. it is a question of morality and modesty. I can only suppose fromy our comment that most homosexuals have no sense of modesty or morality, but a sexually promiscuous lot.  Good luck being gay.

  • michaelmansuniv....there are Homosexuals & Bisexuals in the Police Depts., Fire Dept., Gyms, Schools & Universities and in every in America with open bay showers in them. I think it's more about insecurity about one's sexuality. If one is secure about his/her Heterosexuality, then one doesn't have to worry about showering anywhere next to a Homosexual right? And why think Homosexuals aren't able to conduct themselves in a civilized manner? You make it seem Homosexuals are some blatant rapist..

  • Most homosexuals are mashers. Homosexuality is a perversion. Lesbianism..whatever. I don't like being around homosexuals, talking with them, do not think they should ever be accepted as another form of normal. I don't care how long they have been around, what positions they have held or hold, what contributions they have made..etc..homosexuality is a perversion just as anal or oral sex between men and women is a perversion. Yes it will always be around but should never be considered normal.

  • "Most homosexuals are mashers. Homosexuality is a perversion. Lesbianism..whatever"

    Oh yeah? Prove it with any scientific or psychological finds. Because if you can't, you're a liar.

  • With so many young people graduating High School and not phsically fit to serve in military and others dropping out and not having High School diploma requirement to join the best thing to do would be to ban those who could join military and who would qualify and help with undermanned military services.

  • Allow gays in the military, but segregate them. As women and men are segregated in the military, so should gays be segregated from everyone. OR.. put the gays in the women's tent. Just don't put no queer in a tent with me..

  • I find it disturbing when someone takes all that is bad & deviant like Zoophilia, Necrophilia, Pedophilia, Incest, rape, Polygamy and blame enitrely on Homosexuals. Statistics show that it is mostly the Heterosexual men who are the ones committing these acts. I can't figure out how is the personal relationship of two consenting same sex adults pose a direct threat to others around them. Most Homosexuals are law abiding citizens who pay their taxes, vote, and mean no harm to others.

  • I agree they're not a threat at all except to people who aren't sexually secure themselves, in fact at a very basic level it's not threatening because it means that there's less males to compete with over females.

  • Real troops have a problem with reliability with mentally disabled people, pesonality disorders, sexual predators and their victims need help, not encouragement. Passing through puberty is difficult in this day and age, especially when people with such disurders are highly revered by the newsmeia, children are fooled by unethical people, who have no place in military

  • I will tell you a fe things the Libs did.

    The Libs dropped two atomic bombs onto innocent school kids during WWII.

    The Libs then got us into combat with the North Koreans and North Vietnamese.

    In fact, it was the Libs that almost got us into a war with Fidel Castro and the Soviet Union.

    The Libs hated those damn Commies.

  • OK, I agree with you. The atomic bombings were the most evil single act ever - the Holocaust was a complex historical process with many actors, the atomic bombings were a cynical political act directly attributable to Truman, whom I would call 10x worse than Bush any day.

    And yes, Kennedy is supposed to be a hero because he brought the world to the brink of annihilation.

    Points conceded, where were we going with this? I'm drunk, I forgot.

  • And, Truman might have been a Democrat but I wouldn't call him liberal.

    Likewise, Kennedy had a good image but it was that low-down dirty skunk Johnson who gave us the Civil Rights Act and Medicare.

  • @JSMcCainRocks Today your boy McCain looked like a complete hypocrite going back on his word to trust the military on this issue. It appears thats only when it agree with him. The public will now see this politician for the old curmudgeon he is.

  • I've got a question for you that think gay marriage should be allowed.

    Would it be OK for a father to marry his 18 year old son or a mother to marry her 18 year old daughter if they were in love and wanted to do it?

    Please don't tell me you're going to stand in the way of true love?

  • Um ... so straight marriage means it's OK for a man to marry his daughter?

    Did you even think before you typed that? Guess not ...

  • Enantiodromialist -

    No it not OK for a father to marry his daughter, but I just to know if Libs ever put their foot down to something or if anything goes.

  • JSMcCainRocks....why in the world are you blaming incest on Homosexuals?

  • The military is all about blowing the brains out of the enemy.

    So why would a bunch of gay Liberals think being part of the military is where they should be?

  • I don't, but for lots of working-class, immigrant, etc. young people it's their only option or only way out or up. Why should 10%  of people be denied that on account of something that's nobody's business?

  • I was thinking about those two gay guys in the movie Brokeback Mountain and I came to the conclusion they must be the last two gay guys in America that haven't heard of San Francisco.

  • Why would gays want to be in the military with a bunch of right wing gun nuts?

    Lookit gay boys, when you join the military your job is to take your machine gun and blast the guts of the enemy.

    If you gaylords think you're going to find a bunch of man meat you're looking in the wrong place.

  • Don't kid yourself. They are not going anywhere near a rifle. They're going to work in admin or supply with the nigs.

  • You know your Commander in Chief is a nigger, right?

  • Yeah, we do.

    And look how well he's doing. lol

    Oh I get it, you think we like him, right? You must have seen one of his speeches that he talks in front of the military while his staff passes out digital cameras to everyone and instructs the crowd to take pictures when the speech starts. Then collect them all up again when he leaves.

    Don't worry, I don't like Bush either, but look at the differences in our reaction when they enter the room.

  • I can agree with that, it's like gay Catholics or Republicans, who wants to be part of an organization that hates you?

  • We don't need fags, lesbians, transvestites, transsexuals and all other forms of human trash in our military. We need killing machines; not sex freaks; on the battlefield.

  • It's not the place for sick fuck liberals to impose their social experiments.

    I promise you, they will NOT be accepted.

  • We don't need killing machines in the human race.

  • Comment removed

  • Obama is the one to blame for this distraction. The economy should be our priority. Obama need to get it right.

    Priority...PRiority...Priority­!!!

  • Umm ... the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America isn't a priority?

  • That's not y he was elected.He's all over the place Health care ect..there's been a policy in place don't ask dont tell.H e should leave the shit alone.n start putting people to work.

  • and i dont want to hear from christian or catholic extremist views, because there are priests who molest little girls/boys and they are supposed to be conservative.

    so let's not judge others, because heterosexuals, lie, have affairs, kill and sin just like anyones else. so just becuause we have conservative views does not mean we are better people then GAYS.

  • I don't want to hear from bible thumpers either.

  • Give it up, homophobes!

    Your anti-gay sentiments say more about you, and the feelings you've repressed, than they do about gay people--who are, in every way but sexual/amatory choice (maybe), just like you.

  • Sorry sport, but like it or not, they won't be accepted or tolerated.

    Expect beatings, plenty of them.

  • Huh? I've had to spend every day of my life tolerating people like YOU. Goes both ways, except YOU'RE the one who CHOOSES to be a stupid ignorant asshole.

  • Yet, you bitch and bitch until you can be around people like me? A huge group of people like me?

    I'm stupid? lol

    Hope to see you soon cupcake. If it wasn't for you fags tarnishing our values and traditions, I'd almost want you to join just so we can beat the life out of you everyday until you leave.

  • Huh? If it weren't for us you'd still be swinging from the trees, and y'all is so stupid you wouldn't know the difference.

    And what do you mean, "be around you"? Like I have a choice? Y'all is everywhere, like farts and horse manure, it doesn't make you special.

    And "beat the life out of you everyday"?

    You know what happens when you boast about being a piece of shit? SURPRISE - you're still a piece of shit!! Who'd a thunk?

  • Guess we're all going to find out pretty soon huh fag.

    You faggots think you're just going to prance around in our little world? lol

  • Guess what, we've been prancing around in it for a while now. And, unless you never read a book, go to the movies, or listen to music, you owe us a LOT. Talk about people having to be TOLERANT.

    Though, if none if the above applies to you, it wouldn't surprise me.

  • Not to mention - ever shop in a retail store, ever need customer service from any business, ever go to school and need anyone to educate you or your children, etc. etc. etc.

  • And what the fuck does this have to do with fags being open in the military?

    I could care less about any of that bullshit you mentioned. Yay fags write books and make moves and sold me my socks. Great!

    What does this have to do with the topic????

    Better yet, tell me what you think it's like in the military.

  • My father was in WWII, I heard what it's like all my life, and I didn't hear anything good.

    What I did hear was there were gays in WWII and we won the war somehow. Maybe that's the difference between a citizen army fighting real wars and a professional army of recruited suckers fighting for oil and big business.

  • I'm well aware that we (the military) are pawns of Israel. So spare me.

    The military was bad and had gays. Awesome. Your dad taught you so much and must be really proud of you.

    Plan on joining?

  • Nope. Can we agree on that?

  • HAHAHA There's a video on YouTube of the great Norm MacDonald from the Correspondents Dinner from the late 90's. After congratulating a female Air Force officer for making General he then says she's trying to figure out a way to sexually harass herself. HAHAHAHA!!!!

  • Before a guy saves my life and kills the enemies of america, First, I want to know if he likes other dudes. That's just common sense people!

  • Yeah, because everybody knows that fags are cold-blooded killers. Shut up about things you have no experience with. The military is not the place for your sick fuck social experiments.

    If you think we are going to welcome fags with open arms, you liberals are dumber than we all thought.

  • by the way there are conservative/republican gays too.

  • and there are liberals who have conservative views, not all liberals have open views on all issues, so dont generalize.

  • Comment removed

  • Thomas Jefferson played the violin, nudge nudge.

  • That's stupid. Charlie Daniels also plays the violin.

  • Yup, beard, big belly, Western shirts - typical "bear". Not to mention Jimmy Carter supporter ...

  • i don't know why people are making a big deal about it

  • im sure soldier already ask eachother, so give me a break with this stupid rule of dont ask and dont tell. it's a joke.

  • Not to worry about gays in military. After a few of them have unusual accidents or there is an increase of 'blanket parties', the officers will make them take the point when going into a fire fight.

    If the DADT is stopped will San Francisco be empty?

  • A lot GAYS are professionals, and gays must follow rules and regulations just like any other soldier.

    And if a gay person is good enough to die then he/she is good enough to be acknowledged as a human being, just like any other.

  • They are not going to die. They be admin and supply like the fat females and the niggers.

  • oh dont be mean, there are politicians that are gay but yet they have families and they hide, i'd rather have people admit who they are then hide and pretend something they are not.

  • Good for them. Fag it up all you want. Just keep it out of the military, we don't want them here.

    We're going to let them know this one way or another.

  • and most americans are fat, that's a rude thing to say, compare europeans and americans, and we are the fatest nation and that includes whites.

  • You missed my point. Probably you have no idea what I'm talking about.

    I wasn't addressing the fatties in the country or the planet.

  • Gays are as professional as others are, in fact heterosexual soldiers sexually abuse women more then anything.

    People need to stop being paranoid about gay men and women, they are not going to jump and rape you people, my goodness.

  • dont treat people like uncivilized human beings, my goodnes..

  • Don't 'choose' the gay lifestyle! Do what the rest of all men do, resist the temptation to put a penis in your mouth. I, like all men, fight off the temptation to kiss dudes everyday.

  • Why do you resist? Just think of the pleasure of a massive cock thrusting deep into your anus - this ecstasy can be yours. If there's a Marine base near you, go hang around the bars outside. Heaven is closer than you think.

  • Just remember ! Action reAction.

    2. They know the results, because the same soldiers who will not go along with the destruction of American , martial law  etc........... Are the same ones who will Not serve faithfully wil this policy, so what better way to signal them out know and deal with them now while they have some control over them.

    I hope people can put the rest of the puzzle together

  • As a military veteran I don't want a faggot in my foxhole. Let the queers serve as civilians. Homosexuals are genetic mistakes anyone who thinks sodomy is natural is perverted & sick.

  • You, as a military veteran, do not represent and did not serve my country.

  • @spatter188 Well Timothy McVeigh was a military veteran, what a Hero he turned out to be!

  • There's nothing wrong with homosexuals serving in the military - as long as they're put on the front lines where they can be killed easier.

    And you know who those Muslims will be aiming for especially. XD

  • im glad there doing this. all gay people deserve to die for stopping the growth of humanity

  • Most won't be allowed to serve after they test positive for STDs.

  • from Wikipedia:

    "In his biography of Lincoln, Carl Sandburg in 1926 made an allusion to the early relationship of Lincoln and his friend Joshua Fry Speed as having "a streak of lavender, and spots soft as May violets." "Streak of lavender" was slang in the 1930s for a "sissy" or an effeminate man; later "lavender" connoted homosexuality."

  • "Captain David Derickson was Lincoln's bodyguard and companion between September 1862 and April 1863. They shared a bed during the absences of Lincoln's wife, until Derickson was promoted in 1863. ... it was the subject of gossip. Elizabeth Woodbury Fox ... wrote in her diary for November 16, 1862, "Tish says, 'Oh, there is a Bucktail soldier here devoted to the president, drives with him, and when Mrs. L is not home, sleeps with him. What stuff!'"

  • It wasn't uncommon for people to share beds in those days. Sometimes whole families slept in the same room. I realize in this day and age of Chinese-plastic materialism, it's hard to imagine, but that's the way things were. No reason to slander Mr. Lincoln.

  • Get ready for the exodus.

  • Wooooo John McCain changed his mind. I guess we'll add that to his list of 100 flip-flops. And he did it because they can't find anybody to fight in their bullshit wars. I'd love to see them try a draft. You'll see protest like never before.

  • What about all those Federal Army Generals?

  • ..hI.. WHAT ON Earth makes you think that China will EVER be carbon neutral... !!!.. nxt to the USA... they are the BIGGEST polluters..now I'm no raving 'GREENY'... but I know this aint good...!!!..Nuclear FUSION is the ONLY way...!!!.....pah..!

  • I'm not saying they'll be carbon neutral necessarily, but I think it's true they can kick our ass on green tech, we're doing nothing and China's already planning big increases over the next 10-20 years.

  • Does this mean the US Army Band is gonna play the Village People and Madonna tunes? I hope not 'cause that music blows.

  • Keep fucking that chicken, jackass.

  • No, hopefully they'll play Saint-Saens and Tchaikovsky, and maybe some Poulenc.

  • Comment removed

  • We cannot risk our gay communities fragile minds by subjecting them to the hardships of war. Their minds must remain pure and filled with floral patterns, elegant trims and the aspirations of working at a fragrence counter.

  • LOL!

  • ...The way I see it... is that the U.S.A. is in decline.. as we can all see... oil based wealth...in decline...gay or not aint the isssue...China is the NEW driving force...Empires come and go as we all know...pooor AMERICA.... BOOO HOOO....GOOD RIDDANCE...!!!!..

  • What no one talks about is China can go all renewable energy overnight when they give the command at the top, then they'll be the world leaders in the major technology of the next century.

  • Comment removed

  • @stonerbudkap

    No, because they'd have to be married, which is still illegal in most cities, but if gay marriage gets legalized, than of course.

  • Expect a slight increase in "fraggings", with openly gay soldiers being killed so our POTUS could be "stylish".

    Next Obama will demand that more fundamentalist Muslims must be allowed to serve openly and given force protection and MP duties exclusively. This undermines the Chain of Command.

  • Damn that must be some good shit, where can I get some?

  • Yeah, who was raping teenage boys in Abu Ghraib (fact, the documents are online)? Some of our good "straight" military.

  • @Enantiodromialist How do you know that the people a Abu Ghraib were straight

  • Hey at least the food will be better.

  • And it'll be cleaner.

  • AMERICA'S GAY COMMANDER IN CHIEF

    (from Wikipedia)

    "For 15 years in Washington, D.C., prior to his presidency, Buchanan lived with his close friend, Alabama Senator William Rufus King. King became Vice President under Franklin Pierce. He became ill and died shortly after Pierce's inauguration, just four years before Buchanan became President. Buchanan and King's close relationship prompted Andrew Jackson to refer to King as "Miss Nancy" and "Aunt Fancy", ..."

  • " ... while Aaron V. Brown spoke of the two as "Buchanan and his wife". Further, some of the contemporary press also speculated about Buchanan and King's relationship. Buchanan and King's nieces destroyed their uncles' correspondence, leaving some questions as to what relationship the two men had, but the length and intimacy of surviving letters illustrate "the affection of a special friendship" and Buchanan wrote of his "communion" with his housemate. "

  • " Buchanan wrote to a Mrs. Roosevelt about his social life, "I am now 'solitary and alone', having no companion in the house with me. I have gone a wooing to several gentlemen, but have not succeeded with any one of them. "

    Maybe he should have joined the Marines ...

  • Oh *my* you don't get any dinner either.

  • What about Admiral Cleveland Steamer?

  • Load up that torpedo tube sailor!

  • LOL!

  • My father was in China in WWII, apparently that's where they sent all the misfits. He was a socialist, he said there was a unit that was all gay and another that was all Jewish. There have always been gays in the military, see also "Privates on Parade".

    Oh, and, who was the greatest general in history? Alexander?

  • Quick Private, jump in that hole, not that hole!

  • Aww shit! Does that mean there's gonna be a U.S.S James Buchanan?

  • Oh, you're a naughty boy, you don't get any dinner tonight.

  • I noticed reading the comments section that everyone who disagrees with repealing DADT regardless of how respectful, fact driven or lucid their comments are has been given thumbs down. Right now, our enemies are laughing at us. China is laughing at us. Russia, Iran...they're all laughing. We are now considering making it Illegal to voice your opinion about our enemy or define Their terms of engagement...we're doomed. JOB 1 for POTUS is protecting our nation, this disrupts the chain of command.

  • But who invented anal stretching? My friend says Charles Darwin, I say it was Aldous Huxley.

  • ...NO...

  • I wonder how long it will then take one of the princesses to file a lawsuit that they are always being put in harms way over all others?

  • Actually, I don't think anyone should be allowed to serve in the military.

    Countries without militaries (Switzerland, Costa Rica, Leichstenstein, Tonga etc.) don't have wars.

  • You are childishly naive....Bless your heart.

  • @Enantiodromialist Can you be from this planet? I'm not even sure the magnitude of ignorance in this statement is even worth addressing! Please everyone look away because to gaze upon this will suck the intelligence right out of you!

  • So how do you explain Switzerland during WWI & WWII? How do you explain Costa Rica during the civil wars all over Central America in the '80s?

  • One word....conquered.

  • Uh ... they weren't.

    Switzerland was "conquered"? Are you serious?

  • That's the word I would use to describe ANY nation without a military and that includes the Swiss...CONQUERED!

    "An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject."

    There's really no debate, no argument.

  • Name which nation or nations conquered Switzerland in WWs I & II, and which nation or nations conquered Costa Rica in the '80s.

  • You are so missing the point totally.

  • What a stupid idea. Almost 1/3 of those currently serving in the USAFs indicated they would resign, or not re-enlist if it was repealed. DADT doesnt prevent gays from serving in the military, as Obama said "...because of who they are.", it prevents them from openly engaging in homosexual activity on post or in theatre. DADT is good policy because it allows GLBs to serve in the AFs, but prohibits them from engaging in conduct that is bad for troop moral and prevents conflicts of interest.

  • Those so lacking in discipline or will power that this decision would actually cause them to resign should not bear the prestige of serving in our armed forces in the first place.

  • To say because Men dont want other men to make passes at them makes them unfit to serve is absurd. 99.999% of all men who serve in the AFs are heterosexual-They dont want another man making a pass at them, or a gay Lt. to have a conflict of interest-not sending his boyfriend's squad into harms way, instead sending theirs. The possible damage to the Chain of Command is reason enough. Gays are Permitted to serve in the AFs, as are Muslims-Neither has the right to force their pardigms on the rest.

  • Homo sexuality brought the collapse of the Roman Empire... enough said....

  • You know computers were invented by a homosexual (Alan Turing), right? So you should stop using them.

  • A black handicapped lesbian from Zambia actually invented the computer...

  • @89MohaA No. Not even close. Computers have been around since WWII. The 1st computes were used to determine ballistic tragectories of Tank Rounds and Artillery. Zambia didnt even have Tanks or Artillery in WWII.

    Or were you just being sarcastic?

  • @Enantiodromialist Turing was an "early influence", he didnt "invent computers" or coputing for that matter. While his alogorithms played a role in modern computers, to say "a gay man invented comupters" is like saying Bill Gates invented operating systems.

  • OK, overstatement for purpose of argument ... recently read Doron Swade "The Difference Engine" about Charles Babbage, good book.

  • ...ummm...no... HE didnt invent computers ...and just cos I'm straight does that mean I cant go online anymore ..??? grow up...!!!...lol...jokes... : )))

  • @Enantiodromialist OK, now I knwo you;re brain dead. Charles Babbage is the inventor of the programmable computer. If you wanted to go back further, the abacas was actually the first computer.

  • Yes I know, I was arguing, give me a break ...
