Well, the military is opened to that already, they just have to keep quiet about it.
And Romney is NOT clinging to his 1994 position that the policy wouldn't work. When asked about it in a debate, he said he had changed his position, thought that the policy was working fine, and would not change it.
But you did spell his name right, so I give you some credit.
“And Romney is NOT clinging to his 1994 position that the policy wouldn’t work. When asked about it in a debate, he said he had changed his position, thought that the policy was working fine, and would not change it.”
Always with the insults, but I think that you are talking about don’t ask don’t tell, and I am not, but you even got his DADT positions wrong because he lied in the debate and ignored the original question which was not about don’t ask don’t tell.
I agree with Charles.
Romney HAS flip-flopped on “gays in the military,” sort of.
But note the Clintonesque Romney-speak:
He wouldn’t change the current policy...
“...at this time.”
“...during a time of war.”
“...right now.”
So at another time, when we’re not at war, right then is when he’d flip back to his initial philosophical support for individuals who engage in homosexual behavior “openly and honestly serv(ing) in the military.”
As a former Army guardsman, somebody answer me this simple question: where do male soldiers who openly identify themselves as being sexually attracted to other men take a shower?
With the normal guys?
With female soldiers?
In a designated homosexual shower?
Who do they share a two-man pup tent with?
Or does the U.S. military, in order to engage in this social experimentation, have to spend millions of our tax dollars refitting all barracks with private, one-stall showers?
