That’ll go over well... forcing young Americans to “join up” with the new, politically correct, homo-friendly military.

Very rare I rebut my own statement... but on second thought... that may just be the medicine needed to focus civilian minds onto the fallacies of the notion the military has been "improved" with the repeal of DADT.

I’d leave to country before joining the pro gay military. Sorry but I would not have said this a year ago.

An interesting point. I wonder how attractive the armed forces will look to men from the traditional rural and small city and town areas that produce a disproportionate number of the current volunteers when the new ‘queers as a protected class’, anti-traditional Christian, politically correct nation building national police force model armed forces becomes well established in 5-10 years. I suspect McCrystal made this statement as a way to try and curry favor with the political class so he can get some sort of well compensated post retirement position with a think tank or contractor. The political class have marginalized him because some of his staff spoke the obvious truth about the mental midget from Delaware that is the VP to a Rolling Stone troll. That being so this statement is being read by a former big general to try and get some traction for this idea. In reality it is another left lib scheme to first turn the armed forces into a sort of queer friendly national police and then figure out a way to fill the ranks with enough angry maladaptive and unwilling types such as can be seen any Saturday at your local Mall. The armed forces they will create might be seriously compromised in real combat but be very good at terrorizing US citizens. The libs really do want some sort of force they think can be used at some time against middle class mostly white Americans who they truly hate and fear due to widespread gun ownership. With the army of queers and angry guys plus lots of semi fed cops giving middle class whitey what he deserves becomes possible to the evil and twisted people at the heart of lib land.
