"And this is amazing and wonderful, and good and great and grand, and fine." That does say it all. Congratulations on being one of the military men who both served our country and who, then, fought to have this unfair rule repealed.

Now, that Congress has repealed DADT, it will never be reinstated. This law is dead forever. For one thing, there is no way to get the two Republican women Senators from Maine to vote to put it back. That kills any attempt to do so right there.

@devildog3406 How disgusting it is for you to imply that discrimination against homosexuals is what makes our fighting force "successful and fierce." Shame on you! Our service members are so much more than you give them credit for. Your comment was absolutely disgraceful and appalling.

@devildog3406 Your statement shows your limited understanding of how DADT has affected people. I for example was discharged after nearly four and a half years, and there have been people discharged at close to 20 years. Do you know the rules? Have you ever gotten a blow job while you served in the military? If so then you are as guilty as any person kicked out under DADT because the military has a variety of rules which pointlessly intrude into people's personal lives.

@devildog3406 Interesting. Perhaps someone was cutting corners and being lazy. That's too bad.

@devildog3406 I believe that if there were additional circumstances to simply being gay they would be noted on the discharge paperwork.

It's great that this has changed and I hope that it does not for all those that chose to come out now, but speaking as a gay man born in London I don't understand why it has taken my American cousins so long to get this far. We have always have been considered by some people in this world to be set in the stone age so to speak still, but we seem to more the land of the free than you do in some respects, sorry to anyone that takes any offence to this comment it is not my intention but I just fee

Thats a good point you are macking, I did not hink of that, can anyone tell me if people are still being fired under DADT as it's still being dismantled?

[meatisdeliciouse]

Oh god, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Some of the schools I have been to have put things down on my paper work witch were BLATENT lies, and when they say they being "dificult" and "defensive" over particular detail. They a;so try to word things in the worst possible way. I was ene recorded, in "not being confdent" with a calculator, because sometime I like to work thigs out in my head, so they word it like, I am incapable of using a !#@*):< calculator.
