This was a political promise made by an inexperienced president or candidate for presidency of the United States," McCain told CNN's "State of the Union" last weekend.

"The military is at its highest point in recruitment and retention and professionalism and capability, so to somehow allege that this policy has been damaging the military is simply false," McCain said.

Much as I detest McLame and blame him for this regime he's right on this one. I guess it's the old stopped clock theory.

No but they will do harm.

Just ask the Wiki leak homo or Jeffrey Carney.

Jeffrey Carney
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Carney
Jeffrey Carney is a former U.S. Air Force intelligence specialist convicted of spying for East Germany. One of the Stasi’s most successful spies, code-named “The Kid”, Carney handed over U.S. military documents while working in West Berlin for the Air Force. Carney was apprehended in 1991 in East Berlin on charges of espionage after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Carney, a homosexual, had apparently become disillusioned with the Air Force, and there are several stories of him attempting to turn in his badge and quit. He later claimed to have been lonely, alienated, and under psychological stress, and he felt he had no one to talk to about his problems. He had intended to defect to East Germany on his first crossing, but he allowed himself to be drawn into espionage by East German agents who expertly manipulated him and claimed his complete loyalty.

Gays could serve with no harm

Unless one of them gets his panties in a twist and decides to leak a bunch of sensitive documents. . .

McCain was singing a different tune before. "The day that the leadership of the military comes to me and says, 'Senator, we ought to change the policy,' then I think we ought to consider seriously changing it," McCain said in October 2006 to an audience of Iowa State University students.

And of course his wife and daughter are sending an entirely different message than what McCain is spouting now. Never trust a McCain.

Here is the one question that keeps popping up in my head....

For years, it was just men in the military and they were bunked together. Then came women in the military and men were bunked together and women were bunked together.

If the thought was that you bunk men with men and women with women to limit the sexual interaction, when openly gay men and women serve, how does the military handle the bunking?

What possible harm could come from accepting folks with mental issues into to military?

The Pentagon study that argues that gay troops could serve openly without hurting the military's ability to fight is expected to re-ignite debate this month on Capitol Hill over repealing the 17-year-old "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

Many of us would like to see the assumptions, data, and methodology used to arrive at this twisted and warped conclusion.

It appears to me that the folks who performed this study wanted to please those who funded the study.

The Pentagon study is highly suspect because it likely is full of false or unsupported assertions. They say garbage in garbage out. Too bad we will never see the junk behind the study. Too bad that there are no real journalists dedicated to meaningful facts and the truth. It is too bad that those in charge of the study did not read or understand the position of the Marines. I am disappointed and disgusted.

A clear majority of respondents don't care if gays serve openly, with 70 percent predicting that lifting the ban would have positive, mixed or no results.

Granted, it was 17 years ago, but when servicemembers were polled back then about this issue, more than 75% said "absolutely not." I have a very difficult time believing our military culture has changed THAT much in a relatively short amount of time. I call B.S. on that 70% positive number.

The fix was and is in.

The unrelenting tentacles of "the Chicago Way" are locked onto the highest echelons of the military.

God help us.

Repealing Don’t Ask don’t Tell does not authorized gays to serve. Just the opposite. Recruiters had to ask if a person was homosexual. Also, sodomy is still punishable by the UCMJ.

Of course homosexuals could serve with no harm...

With DADT repealed,a flaming super-queen could grab his sergeant’s crotch with impunity cause if the NCO says even one word of protest he will be dishonorable discharged for being a “homophobe.”

We have already seen this going on for years with other PC approved “minorities” it will be ten times worse when homosexuals take over.

From what I gather, and someone correct me if my info is wrong, the questionnaire put out to the troops was not anonymous. The answers could be traced right back to the respondent and so there was pressure to answer in a politically correct fashion.

remember that the Army had a General in charge of this stuff making comments that anyone who did not want Homo's in the Services needed to get out.

Not much pressure there, eh?
