I hate that arguement that homsexuals have always served.. So what.... I am sure, Pedophiles, murders, rapists, arsonist, adulterers, fornicaters, thieves all have served admirably...

Gives new meaning to the saying “I like the cut of your jib, sailor.”

I see all manner of unintended consequences, but I’m still confused as to exactly what this repeal will do for the homosexual service member(s). Other than not having to hide their oprientation, how will things be for them practically? The military will not tolerate unappropriate behavior by hetero or homo.

I also suspect the homo’s, after the initial jubilance, will keep a low profile, as was the case when I served in the late 60’s.

So the left is all giddy over revoking DADT, a leftist Clinton policy in the first place.

Timothy McVeigh served. Didn’t Oswald serve? And the Texas Tower shooter?

One of the objectives of basic training is to reduce individual identity and replace it with a sense of group cohesion & interdependence.

Open homosexuality is an anathema to that - its narcissism pure & simple.

Lee Harvey Oswald, for example. And John Murtha, to name another despicable Marine.

sure did... It is so easy to discredit homosexual lifestyle since people in it are disease ridden and also very predatory especially you teenage boys( Just look at Europe with more and more countries lowering the age of consent).. But we just don’t make a comelling case on our side it seems.

Right...we targeted gays about that time for rolling for their money. Andrews AFB was famous for having a contingent of gays ripe for the roll. There’s gonna be guys die over this. You leak it your gay and you make the “list”.

The premise is that all homosexuals want to be known primarily by their sexual identity.

My premise is that I want to be known by what they'll put on my tombstone. Many people have "loving father", "beloved mother", etc. etched on their tombstones because that was how a majority of people viewed them in life. I really can't believe homos want this etched into eternity:

Among the rules of communism;
1. Destroy/subvert the church
2. Destroy the family unit, replace it with the state.
3. Take away all loyalties other than to the state. (No family life. Most gay’s don’t stay loyal, there’s no reason, like children.)

Obama fulfilled a promise to one of those polarized identity group. They will vote for him forever. Obama does want members of identity groups to see themselves primarily as a member of an identity group and not as an American, or an American soldier.

Gays who go into the service thinking it’s a sexual smorgasbord will end up leaving one way or another. Especially, the homosexuals who want themselves identified by their service to America will not have anything to do with the flamers.

Are you a recovering homosexual as well? I never acted on the urges I found myself having in the barracks, and I am sure as hell glad I didn’t because there would have been serious consequences. There’s no place for that in the Marines.

These are sick people that need help. But it can be cured; I’m living proof.

I think the statement pretty much speaks for itself. Not sure how much more clarification I can provide.

If it’s the first kind, I think FR is the wrong site for you.
