“You are the second military Freeper that I have seen that has said that about the questionnaire. Wish I could remember who else said it. Maybe LJ remembers.”
As a reservist, I was tagged to take it as well. The survey was not about how I felt about repealing DADT, but how to implement it just as the editorial stated. It was a very distasteful thing to not be able to clearly articulate my strong objections to allowing open homosexuals. Like the previous poster said, there was one little comments box. I am sure any negative comments were ignored.
As the editorial stated, I am deeply concerned that the repeal of DADT, with subsequent implementations, will force anyone with moral objections out of military service.
Which is more likely to be a well disciplined and well behaved soldier....(1) Someone with high morals (2) Someone with no morals? The person with high morals is more likely to be a well disciplined and behaved soldier that will help build a cohesive military with respect for authority. Take them away and you risk constructing a military that is nothing more than an armed rabble. Remove those with morals from the military and you will have increased cases of abuse of authority, rapes, sexual harrassment, and just plain misconduct. A person without morals is more likely to commit war crimes, etc.
So, are we going to throw out a moral majority for an immoral extremely small minority? Insanity.
I believe that it was you I was thinking of. Thank you for responding!
