Clinton wanted to do something about the gays who were covertly serving in the military and in danger of being outed. He negotiated DADT with Sam Nunn, D-GA - to “protect” them from being forcefully outed - which was ratified by Congress in 1993. In 1999 PFC Winchell was murdered by PFC Glover purportedly because Glover thought Winchell was gay, Hillary Clinton got involved and condemned the DADT policy as contributing to the harassment of gays in the military. They basically set up a policy and then turned around and condemned it, so they could open the door to openly gay service in the military. Idiot conservatives fall into line fighting each other over this policy , while all along it was a Democrat construction. Of course there is no excuse for the RINOs who went along with the entire charade.

For me, the point is... what in the heck does sexuality have to do with those who defend this country.

If someone kicks in my door tonight and I shoot them dead defending my home—where and how did my sex or sexuality ever matter?

If I am a security guard, my lifestyle may differ from the next, but I was hired to do a job and my sex and sexuality matters not. I do the job I was hired to do.

If feelings are the end all— how about all the ‘military brats’ who live without a parent, I’m sure they would like ‘fair’.

Where does it start, where does it end? I don’t see it—I just see a door opened that opens more and more never ending.

I don’t believe military was ever meant to be ‘fair’...

Perhaps I need new glasses but I see nothing but problems and less equality in all this mess.
