Don't Ask Don't Tell

[katrachosps]

Why in the fuck , You want to say you are a Homo?? When I joined I don't remember fucking telling my recruiter " Oh by the way I'm straight, I like woman only", just enlist and serve if that's what You want, and not You won't have your orgies here, fraternization is against regulations regardless of your sexual preference.

so if what You guys really want is to look down at my package at the showers with out any repercutions, that's not gonna happen, You'll still get kicked out.

[macbrack04]

That Navy vet outed his 16yr old son as stupid!!!! hope he's NOT gay...theres ebuf stoopid 16 yr olds out there !!

[flowmaster45]

Served in the army as infantry Bco 2-8INF 4ID, served in Iraq for a year and don't give a shit if people are gay and in the army.

[ssnsailor]

I did 5 years on a Submarine with 2 openly gay guys. They didn't have sex with each other while we were at sea. Not sure what the guy at the end of the segment was talking about. We all just went on with our jobs and screwed who we were going to screw when we were done at the end of the day. It is just discrimination. If gays want to join, let them. It makes it less likely I'll end up in the desert with a M-16 and extra people to help me get the work done so I can spend more time at HOME!

[assunto1]

if is the submarine for 6 month there is a woman and a mens then finnaly the ll have sex ?? i dont understan this guy

[crimelessprncess]

i cant believe they would kick them out !!

i think they have a right to go even if they are gay !!

they sukk bigg time if thats the way they want to be

and i think it is a good thing that are sticking up for there rights and its a good thing that they are doing that !!

even they do get arrested !!

[La1chi]

Lol it's funny how they talk about MORALS. Oh fucking please. If anyone's sexual orientation screws you up in battle, then you're not a FUCKING SOLDIER. Why can't Americans just appreciate the fact that these guys are busting their ass for THEM?

[bobo53467]

its a pretty stupid rule but honestly, is i that hard not to say "im gay" or "im a lesbian"? they dont like, give u a 30 page test about your sexual orientation. stop making such a big deal out of it

[flowmaster45]

It's the fact that you have to hide what you are. WOuld you ask a black guy to hide the fact that he is black?

[airborne6229]

thats just wrong a gay guys n the military naww...

[wickedangela777]

That is the most retarded policy in recent history. Canada, the UK, and other parts of Europe allow gays to serve openly. Woohoo,go USA, no wonder other nations think we're so stupid.

[flowmaster45]

99% of us are gay

[flowmaster45]

99% of us are stupid

[wcuhottie18]

Okay. So... Basically, Even the military is forcing us to stay in the closet.

and gays don't have morale or disciplne???

WHAT THE FUCK. THAT'S LAME.

[wcuhottie18]

FUCK THIS.

[pressure1313]

wow all u fuckin military ass wipes who think this don't ask don't tell is a good thing...i hhope u rot in hell

[Friscog06]

Ed Jackson is a Moron.

[PaleEnchantress]

I will forever be amazed at the ignorance people choose. Because gays are "troublemakers"??? Are they insisting on being treated different?

Equal rights for ALL citizens!

[edmacdaddy]

They should change that law around on the straight people for about 1 year, then see how would they feel not being able to talk about their wives, children etc?...

All this hate is caused by religions.

[Chulva]

On top of this, they should illegalize divorce. If us queers can't get married and treated with equality, then straight people shouldn't get divorced. Granted the murder rate would skyrocket...

[LULU2307]

omg is he really that dumb? i was a lesbian in the military and had to hide it! it is not fair and what kind of trouble will we start by being open about our sexuality in the military? he is so damn ignorant

[xmykeyx]

Now just think if you had a 17 year old son who wasn't too smart... I think that sentence says it all.

[PaleEnchantress]

lmao

[willyafrodardar]

haha! good point.

[MasterMark123]

jackson ... what a Major ass !!!

[turkaderr]

ed jackson youre a fucking idiot

[deliciousmorton]

Why should it matter?  Most Generals are gay.

[lpetriel]

Gays serve openly in 24 countries, why not America? They should have the right to serve openly.

[rootism]

Did Ed Jackson just suggest that if you were gay in the military you would rape other troops? What a fucking moron.

[mysteriouscow]

homophobia..

[Iceber9]

Woulda been funny if they actually did get signed up. Like that simpson's episode when she wanted to play football.

[Ravasempai]

no offence but thats fucked up. there are loads of gays and lesbians in the Bristish army, they openly admit it and no one cares, it dont effect moral, it does not stop us trusting each other, when will the US military grow up and realise it dont matter in this day and age!

[idahoMW]

lol, submarines are long, hard and full of seaman.

[badbutt570]

:-)

[evuhL]

i agree 100% with gays in the military... hell they should be the first ones sent straight to the front line. the more that get killed the better.

[tkstka]

NO ONE with any brains would go to war and fight voluntarely if he didn't have any other change and peaple that did go to fight had a change to choose!

[nungu]

seit wann ist homosexualität denn ansteckend???

aber ihr macht das schon!

[playstoorough]

Homosexuals werden angefordert, ihre Homosexualität ein Geheimnis in den Staaten von Amerika zu halten.

[nungu]

ich habe den beitrag schon verstanden.

der alte am ende macht sich aber doch sorgen um junge männer, die in gegenwart von gays selbst schwul werden.

das meinte ich!

und das ist einfach nur dumm.

aber wie gesagt: ihr macht das schon...

[shitsumonyou]

it would be weird for me to shower/bunk with an openly homosexual man, knowing that he might be gazing lovingly at my glistening, masculine physique.

[MagicalAnt]

"Submarine? WTF? Do Submarines turn men gay? When was the last time anyone spent six months straight submerged in a sub? Pls reply if you have!"

LMFAO xD

[TheJesusWarranty]

Given the difficulty they are having recruiting you'd think they'd be hunting down trannys.

[jerrypwjr]

LOL!! You would think.

[ieatflux1]

if their gay, who cares! let em fight! im straight but i dunwanna! i wouldnt give a shit if a iraqi tank rolled down my fucking street as long as i live a normal life! and shit, the repub fucking americans want to get rid of these gays so bad, there! send em in when they wanna! stick em onthe front line! why cant they fight!

[getatmedude]

Submarine? WTF? Do Submarines turn men gay? When was the last time anyone spent six months straight submerged in a sub? Pls reply if you have!

[ares213]

The military is hurting for recruits these days. The DADT policy is only hurting them. What a bunch of retards.

[davidredguy]

Wouldn't want to fight an unjust Republican war anyway.

[hippypaul]

In 58 years of life not one Gay person ever told me what to do or how to live my life. Seems only fair for me to do the same.

[idioteque82]

This is stupid! They are afraid of sending a straight 17y old guy in a submarine for 7 month with an openly gay guy? But it's ok if he was closeted! that's stupid! we all know straight military men do have man 2 man sex! sexual tension goes wild when you put men with men all the time...

[nicholas9999]

that sub commander was priceless. i guess he figures a 17 y.o. straight guy is going to "turn gay" under the pressures of sub life? in fact, if there is an incident, then it will be reported, and action will be taken.

[UTactorguy]

That old man is fucking retarded! He says that he has nothing against homosexuals until it comes to the military. As long as they keep it in the CLOSET he has no problem with that. But once they come out and cause problem they can kick them out! BUT THEY CANT EVEN JOIN IN THE FIRST PLACE!

"Home of the free" my ass... more like home of the free straight men!

[halomega3000]

these guys are really brave and I commend them....hopefully one day they are aloud in as openly gay members...i look forward to that day

[riotgrrrl1977]

Keep up the great work! Equality must be had in all fronts, including the armed forces!

[wisedup]

Correct..'why does it matter'...it doesn't..what matters is 2,500 dead American millitary for NOTHING.

[x3mdreamer]

Thanks for posting the video. This is one of many examples that indicate how ignorant and hateful our society still remains. I'm a Veteran myself and I usually am very respectful to other Veterans but that old man is a fucken idiot! Nobody should be enlisting in the military right now unless you want to kill and die for oil but aside from that point, we should all have the right to. We have a long journey ahead of us my sisters and brothers. Continue the fight.

[peteraccetta]

Part 5-So, to all the Rachel's and Eddie's out there, and to all their supporters, and to all of my brothers and sisters in the GLBT community, stay strong and keep up the good work! Don't allow yourselves to become discouraged. What would have happened if the Pilgrims, or Susan B. Anthony, or MLK Jr., or Rosa Parks gave up their fights and just quietly accepted "the way things are"?

[peteraccetta]

Part 4-You know, it's interesting that this story comes to us from Louisiana, aka, one of the fifteen states that have yet to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution. Like many people, I assumed the ERA was law, I mean; it was passed in 1972 for crying out loud.

[peteraccetta]

Part 3-The members of the GLBT community are not considered as whole people, which we should be, because we ARE. GLBT people are just as American, just as patriotic, just as fit to do the job of protecting a country they love, even if the country doesn't love them back, as any other person of any other sexual preference, or gender, or race, or religion, or whatever. Being gay does not interfere with one's ability to get the job done.

[gayrightsactivist]

I think gays and lesbians in the military is a great idea...they are already in there..their just not out...so what's the big deal of having openly gays joining in? GO GAYS!!!

[peteraccetta]

Part 2-I mean, I know that if I apply for a job in the private sector, and I'm not hired because I am gay, I've been wrongly discriminated against, and that I have rights that are protected under the law. (Or so I am made to believe.) So why is it that if I decide I want to enlist in my country's Armed Services, and I'm not allowed to because I'm gay, I haven't been discriminated against because it's... national policy?

[peteraccetta]

Part 1-I applaud the efforts of Rachel and Eddie. Twelve years of the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy has been twelve years too many, and it should be discarded. You would never see the military or any other government bodies promoting a discriminatory policy based on race or religion or gender or sexual preference, oh wait, I'm mistaken, silly me... apparently the government does not have to follow the same rules it makes for its citizens.

[anna3241]

i love Clinton and everything but i believe the Dont Ask Dont Tell policy is the stupiest thing he has ever done.

why does it matter?

[xdecomposinghatex]

"don't ask, don't tell" should be discarded.  it's one of the stupidest policies we have right now.

i hope you guys will continue to fight for all of the other LGBT who cannot openly serve their country. keep on keeping on :]

[PrinceOfBabylon]

You've done a good thing, guys!!!! Good for you!!! When I turn 18(which will be in 2 years), I'll enlist in the army too. As an OUT gay Man. Hopefully, the "Don't Ask, Don't tell" policy won't exist by then.
