If the draft is reinstated, being gay will not be grounds for a deferment?

Some folks did not think the implications of this law to their logical conclusions.

Feminists either.

No more than being female.

What was the status quo before DADT? Wasn't it that people who engaged in homosexual acts were barred from being in the military?

If so, wouldn't repealing DADT return the policy to such?

That’s what I’ve beens saying all along. Repealing DADT just takes things back to where they were before, when being gay was STILL grounds for dismissal only now they don’t have to catch you or kick you out. You just don’t get in period.

Excellent question.

We don't know what his grades were — but I suspect that he was assigned a brainy tutor to prep him for tests and ghost write his assignments.

Perhaps he had someone else take his tests, too.

Hey! That would be cheating!

Instead, the brainy tutors just flashed the answers on his teleprompter!

I just realized that I have no earthly idea what the 4 ‘’F’’s stand for? I know 1A meant you were ripe, but what are these F(ers)

That should be the next piece of military legislation.

There’s no reason whatsoever to exclude women from selective service registration.

In the 60s there was a bumper sticker:

AVOID THE DRAFT. WEAR PINK UNDERWEAR.

He used a telepromter, allowed under the students with disabilities act.

We should re institute the draft, but for liberals only. We then assign the militant gays feminists, eco-terrorists, and other assorted whackos to the most dangerous combat slots in Afghanistan and Iraq (and our southern border with Mexico).

We give them rubber bullets and beanbag rounds because real ammo is so un-PC and icky. (Just like Napolitano and Holder did for our BP guys fighting narco gangs on the border.) Win-win for America and the Jihad.
