You shouldn’t be sick. This is great news. Now lesbians who molest toddlers, people who have sex with animals will all be accepted into the open light of day. Yay diversity.

I’m female, so it’s hard for me to know for sure, how many of you guys would want to server knowing you would be likely sharing a tent or other close living arrangements with an openly gay man? I just foresee big problems with this.

Had Clinton repealed it in 1993, maybe Barack would be a Major in Iraq instead of screwing up the entire government.

I'm female and joined the Navy Reserves in late 1987. Creeped us all out to no end having 1 lesbian in our company. She was nice enough, wasn't in your face about her orientation, but it was uncomfortable being around her, especially in the showers.
After boot camp, in training school, there was a large group in our BEQ (barracks). Again, it was just weird having to share living space, bathroom space with girls who liked girls. It's the same as having a man around. No one liked it and there were the odd rumors about people walking into their rooms to find the roommate engaged in "activities" with her girlfried. Ewww

no the san fran freako chronicle has it wrong.
don’t ask don’t tell has allowed homosexuals to serve as long as nobody knows about their abnormal conduct.
eliminating don’t ask don’t tell would RESTORE do ask and do expell.
Obama is going to FORCE homosexuals upon the military in order to destroy the military moral.

This is what happens when a person that has NO military experience becomes CIC.

I wouldn’t. Of course anything we say will fall on deaf ears.

I just foresee big problems with this. You think.
We already have to put up with them this will just encourage more of them to come "out". It won't be long before ALL the sleeping quarters will be coed. Might as well be now. I am so glad I am about done with the Navy. I has been a fun ride, but the ride is over, time to move on.

it is not a problem if you don’t care about the military and do not thing the military really matters.
Remember Obama thinks WW II could have been prevented if FDR had spent MORE on socialism (communist) programs.
Obama does not need a military since his goal is to surrender to the enemies of the USA.

There was never any ban on homosexuals in the military. Nobody can know what is in your heart, if you never show any overt signs.
There was a ban on homosexual activities, and THAT should be kept in place.
There was a reason for “don’t ask, don’t tell”.
It was, and is, to PROTECT the closet homosexual.

Thank you stay at home conservatives and third party voters. Boy your protest votes really furthered your conservative agendas. You own this train wreck. And to the Obama apologists on the right and here on FR, Obama is no centrist! He is the most liberal senator from Congress and will now push his liberal, radical hate America agenda on all of us. He will destroy the military.

Just watch the military recruitment numbers plummet, like the stock markt.

Say goodbye to the greatest fighting force in our history.
They will simply resign.
And their replacements will join for the free education and what they can get out of it. But when asked to fight, most of them will object or refuse. Although under Obama, they probably won't have to worry about having to fight.
They will join up with UN forces which may be exciting for them. Think of all those similar Euroweenies they can meet after hours.

I predict a lot of folks falling down in the shower.
Several times.
Or tripping and falling down stairs.
Accidentally, of course.
I have no idea what will cause this sudden outburst of clumsiness amongst military personnel.

If true, he may be repeating all the mistakes of the Clinton’s first term. Piss off the military supporters, social conservatives with this move. Then raise taxes, then try to expand the government with giant new health care programs. This is the formula that gave us 1994. Now where is our Newt?
