(AP) — WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama's national security adviser says allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military is in the early discussions.

But retired Marine Gen. James Jones says it's very preliminary in a very busy administration.

Hate speech! Hate speech! If you don't support every plan/scheme or detail relating to the Homosexual agenda you are a hater!

Get used to it because that is all we are going to be hearing. The press is going to try and make everyone in the country believe the military is nothing but a bunch of redneck neanderthals.

What better way to destroy the military? With gays openly working in the military, and the military will become a larger version of most American universities. Watch for the gay barracks, gay-day parades, lawsuits, political-correctness training, etc...
