I am saying the law should be changed. As written, it is archaic and out of date.

Are laws against murder “out of date” and due for rewrite? Are laws against armed robbery similarly “out of date?” Are laws against pedophilia, polygamy, prostitution, bestiality, etc., “out of date,” and in need of rewrite? If these laws are valid despite being centuries old, why should a law against homosexual behavior in the military be any different?

… to preclude someone from truly wanting to defend their country is counterproductive.

I have asked this question several times and been ignored. Therefore, let me pose it once more and ask that you address it “head on:” Should convicted felons (those who have been released) who “truly want to defend their country,” be denied entry into the armed forces? Please explain your rationale for whatever answer you give.

There will, at some point, be produced a "cure" or preventative vaccine for the HIV. If that is your only sticking point, the health issue, would you then reconsider your position, religious matters aside?......

No. Homosexual behavior is incompatible with the maintenance of good order and discipline in a military unit.

"I am saying the law should be changed. As written, it is archaic and out of date."

Or how about this one?

Laws against sex with children and animals are "out of date and archaic" according to the Left. NAMBLA endorsed John Kerry and that tells us all we need to know about the RAT party.

Why not allow three willing women to marry one man? Why don't the Femanazi's support that concept? Why can't a red blooded American male bring five wives in from overseas to become his friggin harem? THE LAWS SHOULD BE CHANGED! Why can't Hugh Heff have all the wives he wants, (if he wanted them) and then just dump them and get new ones one by one as they each get old - with prenups firmly in place? That is pretty much what he does anyway, except for the marrying part. Why are you stupid liberals restricting HIS rights?

How "liberating" eh? The moronic vacuous Left, more relevancy always their game.

I'd say yes, but it depends on the nature of the felony. If the person had done something stupid as an 18 year old but as a 30 year old was a truly reformed adult, and had no further run-ins with the law, then I have no problem. There are all kinds of felonies, from bad checks to capital murder. The degree of the felony should be considered as well as time and age of the individual. A board of review for enlistees could make the decisions on a case by case basis......
