Might Gays Be Better Soldiers? (Barf)

With the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” looking imminent, the next question on America’s mind is what a military with openly gay soldiers will look like. Most experts, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, believe that a repeal of the discriminatory law won’t at all endanger the military’s stability. And a large majority of enlisted troops agree with them. But what if a military that welcomes gays and lesbians with open arms doesn’t just not fall part, but actually shows remarkable improvement?

For decades now, scientists seeking to understand why people are gay have done neurological research on homosexual versus heterosexual brain patterns. Though these experiments might initially sound like phrenology, pseudoscientific hooey that attempted to predict mental ability based on the size and shape of the skull, in fact, they have been academic and replicable. And while there’s still no consensus as to what makes someone gay, the differences between gay and straight brains that these studies have uncovered are not insignificant.

Take the 2008 work of a team of Swedish scientists in Stockholm. Using magnetic resonance imaging and 90 male and female volunteers, the group discovered that gay men’s brains are strikingly similar to those of straight women, which might explain homosexual men’s proficiency at languages:

Using brain-scanning equipment, researchers said they discovered similarities in the brain circuits that deal with language, perhaps explaining why homosexual men tend to outperform straight men on verbal skills tests -- as do heterosexual women.

Maybe - if the exits weren’t being blocked.

"A nation can ill afford to exclude patriots from serving their country."

Not every person gets to choose how they serve. Although they may be exceptionally patriotic, blind people don't make very good fighter pilots and chronic alcoholics don't make very good ship captains.

Just the term,”GAY SOLDIERS,’ or the even more disturbing,”GAY MARINES,” can't help but induce nausea in any normal biologically correct person.
This perfectly natural revulsion at same sex buggery and fellatio may be politically incorrect and what Leftist homophiles call “homophobia”—still until the radical homosexual agenda drops the iron curtain of totalitarian control over free speech or expression in the military—there it is.

Granted,the no-spin literal term of “homosexual Marines,” is even worse barf bait—so at least the Left managed to cleverly sugarcoat the excrement to some degree with the illogical term “gay” in the public mind—gotta give them credit for that.

What a BS article

If gays were better soldiers the military already would have figured that out

[albie]

Only thing good that comes from all of this is they are no longer a “protected class”.

[ozzymandus]

Homos make better soldiers because they have women’s brains?? Maybe, if you want a regiment of interior decorators.

[Savage Beast]

Look on the bright side. Think of all those man-hating lesbians machine-gunning the terrorists!

[Future Snake Eater]

They aren’t excluded from serving. They just can’t be gay first. Now they can do that. It’s never been about service, it’s been about infestation.

We might finally see Rush Limbaugh’s “All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion”

[Grizzled Bear]

Certainly they might make better soldiers, but only if the requirement is for “rump rangers.”

The Spartans were said to be homosexuals. They were likely raised from birth to be cognitively abnormal and mentally ill. Having no family/children of their own, they would fight without regard for their own survival.

Perhaps we should consider an additional branch...

If we don’t get this marxist mess cleaned up, I think it/they will always be a protected class :/

1) There are homosexuals; 2) Gender preference has nothing to do with patriotism; 3) A nation can ill afford to exclude patriots from serving their country.

Are you aware of Mr Robsinson's policy concerning the homosexual agenda?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Question: "Might Gays Be Better Soldiers?"

Response: Then we can say that soldiers that bugger together stay together.

[Shade_Trees_56]

Actually...this will backfire on the homosexuals. If the draft is ever reinstated the little pansies won’t be able to weasel out of service by proclaiming they are gay!

Where is the Barf Alert with additional Projectile Vomit warning?

LMAO!!!

The URL of this elite leftist drivel propaganda piece says all there is to say. These idiots equate homosexual sex with intellect? Promoting disease and self destructive disorder with being intellectual?

I have experienced it firsthand while I was a young Airman in the AF..

When I was an E3, there was a BuckSgt (E4) in the same squad but not in direct command of me that came to me one night in the NCO club (we had no Airman’s club @ Homestead AFB)... put his arm around me.. then whispered in my ear, “A friend told me that you are gay, you want to go back to the dorms?” ... I shoved him back and punched him.

I still have the scar between my knuckles from knocking his tooth out. I did NOT get Court-Martialed for strinking an NCO BECAUSE there wasn’t DADT yet.. and IF he reported me, he would have been in MUCH more trouble than me.. he would have been DISCHARGED, and I probably would have gotten an Article 15.

I have NO idea where he heard that I was a fag, or even if it was true that someone told him at all... He could have been testing the waters on a new(er) recruit for all I know. I do not walk, talk, posture, sway or act like a queer, and I never have.

Anyway, will it effect military and it’s service members? YES IT WILL, and NOT in anything CLOSE to positive.

Anyone that spews that crap is blowing blowBama out their mouth...

I forgot to mention that I got crap jobs after that..
Sh!t flows downhill :/

I’m against homosexuals joining the military, but I don’t think it’ll be that big of an issue.

Regardless of the lie of 10%, less than 2% of the population is gay.

And it’s not like there’s huge numbers of lavender guys and gals lining up at the recruitment centers waiting to get fabulous in the military.

But what I am and have always been concerned with is women in the military.

They not represent 20% of the military as a whole.

You want unit cohesion and discipline problems? Shove a bunch of 18-20 year old men and women together and see where that gets you. Like nature is not going to take its course?

And have you any idea the problems encountered with military personnel from the same unit being married to each other or worse “cohabitating”?

Or the problems when military personnel cheat on their spouse with other military personnel.

Or women getting pregnant in the middle of their tours.

The problems go on and on and on.

So if you’re really concerned about the state of military effectiveness, you should also be against women in the military.

They aren’t excluded from serving. They just can’t be gay first. Now they can do that. It’s never been about service, it’s been about infestation.

It's the way the commies can destroy the military as they couldn't do it any other way.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

I truly think that the homos have very little self-worth.It’s sad in a way.If they had any self-esteem they would give up the perverted,disease-spreading sexual acts.Gay?They are anything but.
