“So in order to give “first amendment rights” to gays in the military we have to strip the first amendment rights from everyone else in the military?”

That is what really scares me.

Political Correctness running amok.

This is sexual discrimination of the rankest kind!

Gays and Lesbians can bunk in barracks with the objects of their sexual desires but normal hetero males and females cannot.

If it is okay for gays to be assigned to male only barracks and “live with” men they would like to have sex with it should be okay for normal people to do likewise. Same sex barracks become an outmoded conceopt. After all, homos are really girly-men: they are male on the outside but their brain thinks they are girls.

To be fair the military must drop all restrictions on males and females being restricted to sleeping in same sex barracks. Me and women should be able to share barracks and sleeping quarters just as men and girly-men do.

Either that or legalize the old-fashion blanket party for homos.

“DADT shouild be repealed, back to the standard of “Ask, and if the answer is wrong, out the door they go”.”

This soldier says it should be...”Don’t try to enlist because we don’t want you or need you, and if you lie and sneek in, we will prosecute & punish you severely and then discharge you”

Indeed.

The principal behind separation of heterosexual men and women in showering, bunking, etc, - and who i hold should not serve together in any private close quarters, unless married - is what requires separation of homosexual men and women from those they seek to fornicate with. And where we derive these principals and precepts is a foundational issue, with the abandonment of it costing America plenty in souls, lives and money: http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/RevealingStatistics.html

The military is the only segment of society where this is allegedly a concern, and most of that concern comes from outside the military.

No "allegedly" about it... The truth is that society has historically and repeatedly declared homosexual sex disordered. The fact that disorder is tolerated does not premise advancing it any further. Homosexual sex provides nothing of value to society or the military...

>The military will have 25% open homos within 3 years of said policy and will be weaker than the French army.<

At a March 18 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, two former service members who had been discharged for homosexuality focused their testimony on their own personal stories. The third witness, retired Marine General John Sheehan, came across as a credible grown-up with more serious concerns on his mind.

Having served as NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic and as Commander-in-Chief for the U.S. Atlantic Command (1994-1997), Gen. Sheehan was uniquely qualified to provide strong testimony that weakened the claims of civilian gay activists who want America’s military to be more like European forces.

Referring to the military officials from nations that Sheehan led as NATO commander, Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-MI) asked whether the general had discussed the issue with them. “Did they tell you that they had unit cohesion or morale problems?” Much to Levin’s surprise, Sheehan answered “Yes” and proceeded to provide details.

After the Soviet Union dissolved, Sheehan said, European nations began focusing on peacekeeping because “they did not believe the Germans were going to attack again or the Soviets were coming back.” After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and other European nations came to believe that there was no longer a need for an active combat capability in the militaries. “They declared a peace dividend and made a conscious effort to socialize their military - that included the unionization of their militaries; it included open homosexuality.”

He continued,
“That led to a force that was ill-equipped to go to war. The case in point that I am referring to is when the Dutch were required to defend Srebrenica against the Serbs. The battalion was under-strength, poorly led, and the Serbs came into town, handcuffed soldiers to the telephone poles, marched the [Bosnian] Muslims off, and executed them. That was the largest massacre in Europe since World War II.” 1
Chairman Levin asked whether Dutch leaders had told the general that the inclusion of homosexuals had contributed to the military debacle. Unlike some news reports’ descriptions, Gen. Sheehan chose his words carefully, saying that commanders he had spoken to “included that as part of the problem…. [T]he combination was the liberalization of the military, a net effect, basically of social engineering.” 2
