  • This was a VERY GOOD film! I am glad I stayed up until 3 am to watch. I hope more people come to comment on this, but I'd like to be the first to say this-if you think DADT should be discarded please speak up.

    I voice my opinion- the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy should be removed!

    I will forever respect those who served our country and were dismissed.

    And for those who disagree, well, I won't argue with you. You have the right to your views and I have the right to mine. Freedom of speech.

  • The USA is part of NATO and most NATO forces allow / have gay and lesbian members in them and they haven't fallen apart yet - morale has not declined etc.

  • This policy needs to be eliminated for a whole host of reasons. That being said, the example of NATO forces not falling apart is not the best argument. It has yet to be shown that they could conduct a successful large operation without the U.S. military. How about China and/or Russia?

  • Its long past time the military everywhere was reduced back to the size of a 'DEFENCE' force.

    While there are massive industrial complexes committed to killing as many 'foreign civilians' as possible, there will be 'conflicts of interests' which are purely 'profit driven' & NOTHING to do with defending one's nation from attack.

    IMO one has to wonder about people who want a 'career' in killing for profit?

    Defence is one thing, but there has been a policy of pre-emptive 'offence' for a long time.

  • do u mind explaining how that is in any way relevant to this specific video

  • If the military was for 'Defence' instead of offence it would have a totally different 'ethic' behind it.

    Ethics play a huge part in determining 'policies' especially in military establishments. (In fact 'ethics' is almost a dirty word to some of them)

    A society that genuinely wants 'Peace' & only 'defends' itself & its allies, will naturally be more tolerant & more likely to accept gays in the defence forces.

    Everything is connected.. Frankly I'm surprised you couldn't see the connection.

    ;-)

  • True but thats the policy makers. I didn't enlist for a career in killing. That statement is a little absurd. Most want to defend this country and get an education, as I did.
