For homosexuals, everything, EVERYTHING, is about the act.

WASHINGTON (AP) - If gay service members are allowed to serve openly, the military will face another tough question: Should gay partners be entitled to military benefits?
Momentum appears to be building for ending the ban on gays in the military. New rules ordered Thursday by Defense Secretary Robert Gates make it harder to discharge men and women under the policy known as "don't ask, don't tell." His decision is intended as a stopgap measure as Congress weighs whether to go along with President Barack Obama's request to repeal the law.
Since the draft ended in 1973, spousal benefits have increasingly been used as an incentive to recruit and retain an effective force. Today, more than half of all troops sport a wedding ring.

No surprise really.
Already reported that when the census is tabulated the gay partners will be considered ‘married’.
So, of course, they’ll be covered on the health care.
Of course they will get paid. There will be a huge “settlement” for past discriminations and there will be ‘gay pay’ along with ‘jump pay’ and ‘danger pay’.
Of course. And Accommodations will be made in every facet of military life. This is not a nondiscrimination matter; rather, it’s a way to completely restructure the military, IMO.
Would ALL of their partners get benefits? If a gay man got married and then moved in with another partner, would they both get benefits?
“Should gay partners be entitled to military benefits?”
No, but they will.
If they’re married they’ll receive benefits - and there are a number of States allowing same sex marriage.
And Chaplains will be forced to sacrifice their careers if they refuse to perform gay weddings.
That's the idea.

I wonder if these payments would be considered to be in “arrears”??
Since that lifestyle is so statistically “unhealthy”, it may eventually lead to no coverage for diseases associated with said lifestyle. When huge budget deficets are realized after this turkey of a bill is implemented, congress has shown that they will throw any constituency under the bus.
How many partners can get benefits, since homos usually have so many.
Gates has essentially ended DADT. He has added and Don’t Look even if you have the information.
THIS has been the main goal of the homosexual activists....because military are found in all states. They wish to use this to force ALL states to accept gay “marriage.”
Democrats- more and more taxes!
Answer: Neither one has ever seen even one minute of combat.
Mike Mullen is a pathetic piece of crap. This week he publicly slammed a 3-star for daring to question the repeal of DADT. Mullen is a career deskjockey who has no business leading our military. OFFICERS SHOULD SPEAK UP..LOUD...NOW. To hell with this pretender and his lapdog Mullen.
The way I look at this, they would need to amend the UCMJ in order to even make this feasible.
Just part of reparations. If only our ancestors hadn’t enslaved them....oh wait, I’m getting confused again.
That didn’t take long.
Your elected officials are in the driver's seat.
