All those media surveys of the military are not surveys of troops fighting on the front line, where the presence of gays would be far more stressful.

Uh… they're already there and have always been even when they were not allowed to serve.

Troops are not naive. They have a good idea already who is and who is not gay in their ranks. So long as their job gets done, it won't matter if a private, Lt. or sergeant has that picture of someone special back home is a boyfriend rather than girlfriend.

The only reasonable options are open service or no service. DADT was never a good policy.

Someone special back home? We are at war.

How would you like to be in combat and get stuck out on point or keep drawing a bad job and the LT’s “special friend” doesn’t? You think this shit is not gonna be a problem? There won’t be any “hard” feelings in any of this?

This isn’t about who is “back home.” That’s the kind of lame ass argument put up by the lefties and/or the MSM.

The military is NO PLACE for fags - closeted, open, flaming, cross dressing, or hidden in plain sight. They’re already a problem and repealing DADT will make it much, much - inconceivably much worse.

Unless it goes back to the way it was previously.
