Your post is a contradiction between incredible praise, and condemnation, knowing how they performed, yet not knowing who they were, “”Mostly they served as honorably as the next man. Some served heroically. We would have a real difficult time telling who was a homo and who was not in these cases, as they DID NOT REVEAL THEMSELVES AS HOMOSEXUALS.””

I don’t know where you get all this data, if we didn’t know who they were.

So you want the government to return to it’s non-libertarian position of forbidding them to serve, and kicking them out when they are discovered, so you aren’t libertarian on that issue, neither am I.

Wait, your old post said you are fine with them serving, as long as they hide and lie, and stay silent. “”So, no, I do not even begin to care if some homosexuals want to serve, AS LONG AS they keep their preferences to themselves.””

You are good with homosexuals in the military, you just support Bill Clinton’s compromise of them only getting kicked out if they don’t hide it, versus Obama’s libertarian move of treating them as equal.

Thank you so much for the kind compliment! And see my tagline!

I just read every post on this thread. It’s stunning to see a small group of ideological purists behave so boorishly towards their fellows. Kudos to Finny et. al. for courageously standing against such behavior.
