Yes, indeed, let us lose 10% of our forces during a long war in order to make life marginally easier for the 1% of our forces who are gay, and really want to tell the world about it.
I don't lack sympathy for gays in the military -- yes, the military is telling them to hide a fundamental part of themselves, or at least not go announcing it freely.
But here is the fact: Homosexuality is considered sinful by many religious people, and religious men make up a great percentage of the services. Furthermore, the military promises, among other things, to make real men out of its recruits, and for most people -- not just the religious -- male homosexuality is considered effeminate.

Obama is a mornon. First he will destroy the economy then he will destroy the military. Who would have thought that one President could cripple the nation in one term.
FOCA, don’t ask/don’t tell, amnesty, card check, fairness doctrine, trillions in deficits, and so on, and so on, and so on....
And the idiot electorate will give him a second term....
Wonder what Churchill, Patton, or Lincoln would say about this?
Anyone who lived through the Carter administration.
As unlikely as it is that this is more than a trial balloon and I almost feel your pain.
It will be interesting to see how many people in the military really want to work for this commander in sleaze.
Add to that 10% a large number of heterosexual men who just won’t join in the first place.
I served under the scumbag idiot Carter.
All the more reason I hold Reagan in high esteem. He made serving in the Military an honorable thing again.
I wonder what the book is that he will restore the draft, as a jobs program, if nothing else? I think it would be hilarious if the millions of young, draft-age cretins that elected him got sent to Afghanistan.
Good God. We better get going on that sailboat fast.
This is no surprise given that we know 0bama himself is a crack-smoking homosexual.
I said it a long time ago. Obama is going to need a draft because he will not get enough Americans who want to call him their commander in chief.
So did I. I think those of us who did are the most bitter about the damage that cretin did to this country. And continues to cause by his inability to keep his senile mouth shut.
“Who would have thought that one President could cripple the nation in one term.”
Simple.
George Soros and the others who created, own and operate Obama. The destruction of the US is their stated goal. Obama and the Democrat Left are their WMD.
Sometime during his second term, he will talk to the portrait of Lincoln in the White House and ask, “Abraham, you have done this before. Tell me what I need to do to caused the states that have seceded to want to rejoin the Union?”
If all this comes to pass, Democrats may be forced to enact a draft. Good luck trying that.
