In case you hadn’t noticed Lancey, the military is currently being used as a petri dish for social engineering
experiments of a far more dangerous kind: That’s the kind of concoction that spawned Major Hasan and a number of others like another Hassan that rolled a grenade under a tent in Iraq, killing and injuring his ‘fellow’ soldiers.
It’s the kind of experiment that had General Casey lamenting the possibility that too much negative publicity
for undercover terrorist Hasan would harm the military’s
not-so-secret mission of integrating as many Muslims as possible.
If you think “homos” will be openly kissing in barracks
now if DADT is repealed, you may be revealing your own fantasies. I have frankly never heard more fudge-brained thought from conservatives than I have on this one lonely
‘issue’, which isn’t an issue at all, but a vehicle to continue to polarize Americans, and all for the benefit of the far right and the far left “bases”. And having said that I can assure you I have seen this issue up close over 40 years ago, when it wasn’t an issue at all, during basic training in Ft. Polk Louisiana, at the height of the Vietnam
War. I wonder how many FReepers, out of all 325,000 actually know whereof they speak on the subject of Gays in the Military, or DADT, or even have ANY firsthand experience
of it. I would welcome hearing it.
Really? It wasn't an issue 40 years ago?
Homos were throwing condoms in churches, marching in "gay pride" parades, teaching "fisting" to 5th graders, getting "married", and demanding the "right" to prance through the barracks 40 years ago and nobody cared?
Gimme a break.
