The way it is worded is so dumb! Don’t ask don’t tell does not keep gays from joining the military and serving their country. It only says they can not openly display that they are gay. Just as others in the service do not openly display that they are not gay.
So, in effect, he is calling for a death penalty for homosexuals, or those accused of homosexuality, in the military.
Well, as long as it is made clear to homosexuals before they sign up. No reason for them to get killed.
That’s probably her roll (in real life). The whole crowd were into homoerotic behavior.
As a former military member, one who spent the entire debacle called the Clinton menstru...I mean, administration, in the service, I have had reason to give this issue some thought. While I can see some merit to the pro-homosexual argument, there are too many logistical problems. One really important issue is that the government would need to DOUBLE the amount of barracks at every installation, and the number of latrines at every training facility and tent city in the world. If you don’t see why, think about it for a minute. I’ve been there, and I cannot see any other way. Even liberals (especiallly Democrats) will see that is the only solution. NATO, UN and other multinational operations would become more challenging, even before any enemy engagment occurred. Also, most military people are heterosexual and pretty set in their ways. We tend to use epithets not conducive to openly homosexual people. Of course, the military is always among the first to experiment with any social change, regardless how loudly the leadership shouts that the military is not a social experiment (of course it is, don’t be stupid. Sir.). The point is, anyone who thinks this will simply work because ‘that’s an order,’ is not dealing in social reality.
By the way, anyone else catch the irony of a woman from Claifornia called Ellen being the first to start screaming sbout letting ‘women in comfortable shoes’ serve openly? BTW, those women already do. There are gays in the military. They just aren’t allowed to admit it (and they are forbidden from ever having sex thanks to Bill “I did not have sexual relations” Clinton). WE all know who not to hit on, though. Believe me. The chicks will beat the guys down and the guys will try to get girls to cry at French films with them. We know.
