If they knock down DADT, won't it revert back to where it was before?
Could be the goal as then a draft would be required.
It’s not just about whether they can serve. Under DADT, they ARE allowed to serve. Among a million others, here are some serious practical questions I’ve heard...
Is all homosexual conduct permitted? Such as, cross-dressing and going to the PX? What conduct is not permitted?
When someone joins the Armed Forces must he/she declare their sexuality?
How Federal hate speech laws apply to the Armed Forces? Will commanders be required to take UCMJ action?
Will a career Marine’s personal opinion on homosexuality become an impediment to promotion or assignment to key billets?
Is the belief that homosexuality is a choice and homosexual acts immoral not compatible with military service?
Do the Senate and the House Armed Services committees intend to demand sexuality statistics to make certain that homosexuals are being promoted
At the same rate as non-homosexuals? Will homosexuals be promoted at a faster rate to “compensate” for previous years of discrimination?
Since same sex marriage is not authorized by Federal Law is a married homosexual from MA authorized to enlist? Does the spouse of a married
homosexual rate a dependent’s ID card? Will “partners” of homosexuals be given dependent status?
If yes, what is the definition of a “partner”? one night stand? one year relationship? How often may a homosexual change partners and the partner still rate dependent benefits? Will partners of homosexuals be assigned to on-base housing? Do former “partners” of active duty homosexuals retain dependent benefits (like a divorced spouse) when divorce is not a legal option?
Will homosexual Marines be permitted to date each other? Live with each other as “partners” in the BOQ / BEQ “? How does this affect fraternization regulations?
Will homosexuals be deployed to countries where there is no SOFA in place in which homosexuality is a crime? If no, who picks up the slack?
Are there any assignments to which homosexuals must be or may not be assigned?
Will homosexuals who become HIV positive still be discharged? Is being HIV positive now a “service connected” injury which rates disability?
Who knows??
in about 30 mins those senators up in the north east, DEmint, and Mc cain will be getting calls form me and asking them to not vote for this and do everything they can to drag this out to next year, put amendments in, can they filibuster, close Govt etc.
There is no way this should pass and any republican supporting this or voting for this is a traitor to our armed forces
Could you please send all of these excellent points to Senator Snowe and others?

I don’t believe for one minute that only 2% in thos country are fags.
No way in hell 2% could do the damage these people are doing.
Maybe 2% are flamers, but there are a hell of a lot more hiding behind marriage certificates.
And I love how everyone ignores the jihadi angle as well.
These people are defective.
They’re building a communist tower of Babel... they want to be gods.
God help us, it seems only blood will solve this problem.
RINOs are an endangered species...
Joe Miller needs to drag his suit out as long as he can.
As poster 'Williams' stated earlier; they have the power, influence, and numbers of the progressive left behind them...
You do realize, even under DADT, gays legally served in the military, right?
Many served even before that policy.
Hey, didn’t we have this same ol’ story with Obamacare last year? How did that work out for us?
Zot material?
Someone gets it. They WANT a draft, because they WANT to destroy the American forces.
I don't doubt it, but that's not the point. The point is this will now sanction homosexuality, and will allow personnel to openly flaunt it.
Look what happened to Hollywood, gays got into positions of power, and they start looking out for each other, before you know it, they effectively took complete control of the entire entertainment industry. Good luck to any actor, singer, etc. who dare suggest that gay marriage shouldn't be legal.
You will see the same happen in the military, as more and more straight people will be discouraged from volunteering.
We know who the RINOs are anyway, right?
I doubt you do! prayerfully you do. Hint: there are only about 10 in Washington who are conservatives.
