No info on who the 4 military commanders were, I’m guessing 1 was at the Republican debate earlier this year.

Load them up with rubber bullets and send them on a forward offensive. An all gay rifles division called The Pink Patsy’s.

“Four retired commanders say gays should be allowed to serve openly in the military. Should they?”

OPENLY? That would be better than not. At least one would know what one is dealing with, but actually in response to the question of “should they be allowed to serve” the answer is NO. A resounding NO.

We had two gays in our unit overseas back in the 60’s.

Everybody became a baritone when either of them were around, and most took on posture similar to “Incredible Hulk” as well. Nobody was comfortable with them around.

A safe bet would be that Weasel Clark was one of these perfumed pinked panty poster boys:

Clark is probably very close to the other 4 for gays.

Clark is shown below enjoying a gay happy moment, with no socks while being very light in his loafers!”

Just voted...Should not be in at all...percentages are the same...

Checked some states- NY and Calif are right up there on removing the ban entirely..Place with the highest score was DC...Vt and MA were also high on removing the ban...Even the Southern States scored higher than one would expect- like in the 40-49% range.....

You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight.

Very clever of them splitting the vote like that.

The truth is that 42% don’t want the ban removed.

Greetings TheEaglehasLanded:

Well what do you know... In this poll 100% of nearly retired E-9’s say “retired commanders” supporting homosexual presence in the military should forfeit their pension.

Cheers,
OLA

At least half of that 58% is female votes. They could care less about gay men and whether or not they’re in the military.

Openly gay men cut their hair regularly, so why not let them serve?

Because it makes straight soldiers uncomfortable? Sorry, that’s their problem.

I have the strangest feeling that the poll numbers are bogus.
