The Army secretary said on Wednesday he would not discharge gay personnel who admitted their sexual orientation to him, despite the "don't ask, don't tell" stance that remains official military policy.
"What the secretary (of defense) has placed a moratorium on is going forward on discharges," Army Secretary John McHugh told defense reporters.
The statement seemed to indicate that some Pentagon leaders had already shifted their stance, at least regarding private admissions by gay troops, although Congress has not yet formally repealed the law banning declared homosexuals.

He should be made to take showers with them. Our soldeirs have to.
He won’t need to when blanket party’s return.
Didn’t know the CoS Army could just ignore UCMJ...
They however, discharge whenever possible.
Even if he isn't he should resign after that remark.
Stand by for the harassment lawsuits, massive IG complaints and re-writes of the NCOERs and officer fitness reports due to “bias or homophobia” on the part of the rater. The gays will soon realize that they NOW have the power to change our military from the inside instead of from the outside.
I’m glad I retired in 1997. I doubt if I could make a full 20 now, or if I’d even enlist in the 1st place.
Sexual orientation has NO viable role to play in combat operations. What should always be behind closed doors, whether it be gay or hetero, should STAY behind closed doors, period.
“I’m gay, so give me a stateroom and my own shower.”
That’s how this destroys the army.
Gays will get their own rooms. Can’t have a communal bunk and shower structure. That situation is one bottle of astrolube away from a Castro Street porn set.
So, you’ll have the straight soldiers - they will eat, sleep, work, shower, bleed, and die like a team. Then you will have the gay soldiers, who will muster with everyone else, but only as ‘commuters’. They’ll be ‘amongst’ the soldiers, but not a part of them.
Hence, you can’t win.
Not that Chief of the Army Staff Casey is any better, but this was the Secretary of the Army, a civilian appointee. He is a politician first and formost.
who would want their son to join a group where homosexuals are allowed to roam around in showers and bathrooms.
then it will lead to a shortage of course...then the draft...and then good normal young men will be forced to be the eye candy for these perverts...
well, gays don’t want it to stay behind closed doors...infact one of their main proclivities is to be open and suggestive in front of all...
you’re dreaming....the soldiers will be housed all together....there will be no privacy for heteros...afterall, aren’t gays responsible and private in their dealings?.. then can be counted on to be discreet and responsible.....NOT!
Man, that just sounds nasty.
Did it say “Hot-Bottom” issue? Some editor has a good sense of humor.
Our ‘elites’ don’t seem to understand the forces are run and maned by a strata of citizens that are more physical, mechanically attuned, familiar with hunting and fishing for dynamic prey, have religious and cultural values different from the graduates of Americans fever swamps.
In other words, Bubba don’t want no queers.
But, what the heck, going into the military for the military, or health care, or college is now a sucker’s play when you can just welfare your self though school, get govey Obamacare, and a federal backed mortgage.
You missed the news from yesterday. Some general saying that they will give gays ‘their own rooms’.
I think it was Drudge, but it may have been from here.
From the Army’s point of view, it can’t be any other way. Communal birthing only works for same-sex heteros. Weirdly, it also works for same-gender trannies too. It’s an inevitable incident that will forever hammer the image people have of the United States Military.
They are STILL living down Tailhook. Keep women out of the military and it would have never hit the news.
Can’t work for homos, because, well, their homosexual.
Like I said, a barracks environment for communal homosexual birthing is a plot to a bad porn flick. You are a can of lard away from a gang bang.
