The lefties have hit this hard.

58% remove ban entirely 22% keep don't ask don't tell 20% gays shouldn't be in at all

[TheEaglehasLanded]

No info on who the 4 military commanders were, I’m guessing 1 was at the Republican debate earlier this year.

[Nathan Zachary]

Load them up with rubber bullets and send them on a forward offensive. An all gay rifles division called The Pink Patsy’s.

“Four retired commanders say gays should be allowed to serve openly in the military. Should they?”

OPENLY? That would be better than not. At least one would know what one is dealing with, but actually in response to the question of “should they be allowed to serve” the answer is NO. A resounding NO.

We had two gays in our unit overseas back in the 60’s.

Everybody became a baritone when either of them were around, and most took on posture similar to “Incredible Hulk” as well. Nobody was comfortable with them around.

Bad turn of phrase.

Navy Times, link and title only.

New study: Gays should be allowed to serve

[Ratblaster]

All hands on the poop deck.

[vpintheak]

NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[smoketree]

They can keep each others guns clean!

[Tired of Taxes]

Just voted, and the percentage hasn’t changed.

[Grampa Dave]

A safe bet would be that Weasel Clark was one of these perfumed pinked panty poster boys:

Clark is probably very close to the other 4 for gays.

Clark is shown below enjoying a gay happy moment, with no socks while being very light in his loafers!”

[Peacekeeper357]

Just voted:
58% Yes
22% No, keep “Don’t ask,Don’t tell
20% No Gays

[onedoug]

The military should be all gay.
Draft them all right away.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Supply should issue each soldier a gay.

[billmor]

Just voted...Should not be in at all...percentages are the same...

Checked some states- NY and Calif are right up there on removing the ban entirely..Place with the highest score was DC...Vt and MA were also high on removing the ban...Even the Southern States scored higher than one would expect- like in the 40-49% range.....

You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight.

Barry Goldwater

[Fichori]

Very clever of them splitting the vote like that.

The truth is that 42% don’t want the ban removed.

[OneLoyalAmerican]

Greetings TheEaglehasLanded:

Well what do you know... In this poll 100% of nearly retired E-9’s say “retired commanders” supporting homosexual presence in the military should forfeit their pension.

Cheers,
OLA

[Randy Papadoo]

At least half of that 58% is female votes. They could care less about gay men and whether or not they’re in the military.

Openly gay men cut their hair regularly, so why not let them serve?

Because it makes straight soldiers uncomfortable? Sorry, that’s their problem.

[Randy Papadoo]

I have the strangest feeling that the poll numbers are bogus.

[djf]

Personally, I would prefer having no “GAY soldiers”.

The same way I don’t want “GAY policemen”.

Or “GAY bartenders”. Or “GAY astronomers”.

What’s wrong with just having soldiers, or policemen, or bartenders, or astronomers?

I’ll tell ya. The fascination with emphasizing that “I’m a GAY magician” or whatever the crap is, seems to me to be a deep down admission that something is seriously wrong.

I go into a store and order a coffee. The person makes the coffee, hands it to me, I pay them and say thanks, and they say “Have a nice day.”

I go into a store and order a coffee. The person makes the coffee, hands it to me, then broadcasts loudly “I’m a GAY coffee maker, and can do it as good as anyone else!!”

I pay for the coffee, leave it on the counter, and walk away.
I really don’t give a chit about his (or her) fantasies, I just want somebody to make me a cup of coffee.

It’s getting sickening.

[djf]

Someone who is more interested in being a “GAY soldier” is more interested in being “GAY” than he is interested in being a “soldier”.

Enuff already.

[shibumi]

Yes!

They should all be issued Baby Blue helmets and be put into the service of the Euro-twit-third-worlders at the UN.

(In lieu of any further monetary contributions to that organization.)

[Caipirabob]

The military is not the proper medium for failed social experimentation.

[A.A. Cunningham]

How much less could they care?

It is hard enough trying to be soldier without having to watch to see if your buddy is slipping mickies into your canteen so that he can have a good time while in the field.

[Russ]

43% in Alabama want the ban removed? 51% in Florida? 46% in Georgia? Somehow I can’t buy into that.

[massgopguy]

When you put your own interests about that of the unit, people die.
