ABC News' Devin Dwyer reports: One month after President Obama signed a repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," government accountants have finished tallying up how much the policy cost taxpayers during the 16 years it was in effect.

The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office said in a report released Thursday that each discharge of a gay or lesbian service member over the past six years alone cost $52,800, including administrative costs and costs to recruit and train a replacement....

$400,000,000?! How the hell does the government rack up such huge expenses on every damn thing??

[HiTech RedNeck]

As usual, when the GAO is fed garbage, it faithfully spits out garbage. What would be the cost of open shenanigans?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Bull****!

[Redbob]

For once, it sounds like we got a bargain...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Yeppers. It would have cost $4,000,000,000 to find enough homos to replace all the straight troops who don’t want to serve with them.

Complete and utter Bull####!

My son is in the Air Force. Over 20. Yikes! I’m getting old. He was telling me how they throw people out these days for almost anything. I couldn’t believe it. I’m not buying this bull**** GAO “report”. This is just propaganda to help push their homosexual agenda.

We need a study of assaults and incidents after one year. Then we need to ban homosexuals from destroying the military. This will not work. Have we just lost our minds? And get these women to the BACK!! We are about to fight the communists Chinese.

[freedumb2003]

Those numbers are crap.

JAG officers (and overhead) are FIXED COSTS. Whether you discharge 1 or 100,000 for any reason whatsoever, the “cost” is the same.

This is true for all of government.

[pissant]

Utter bullshit

[pissant]

You signed up today to feed us with this left wing bile? There is no cost associated with the policy. The costs are created by homosexuals lying their way into the ranks, then rump riding against the rules.

Ozone is in your future!

Homo agenda ping required!

LOS (Load Of SH!T). The GAO is a joke because it is only allowed to use the numbers and accounting practices as directed by Congress. If Congress tells them a UFO will land and give us a trillion dollars they must use that number. Therefore, the Democrats gave them a bunch of junk numbers to crunch and the end result is this LOS.

We must remember how the GAO report stated a savings for nationalized health care. That was done because the Dims shoveled a load of garbage at the GAO and they, by law, had to use those fake numbers.

[DJ MacWoW]

I’d bet there was ozone in his past.

Slippery is a troll - no doubt about it. IMO a retread. Perhaps a recent zottee.
