It’s a mistake to overestimate how much the government can do to demoralize a nation. It’s also a mistake to underestimate what it can do. Repealing DADT, for example, won’t make the military gay friendly. NASCAR doesn’t have any rule against gay drivers and the NFL doesn’t have a rule against gay quarterbacks, and yet . . . But the government controls education and much of the nation’s wealth. It can do a great deal to undercut traditional morality. Consider how the Great Society destroyed the Black family in America.
I would to let military leaders advise on the subject of DADT. If they think getting rid of it makes for a less effective military, then keep it. As we’ve been telling the liberals, the purpose of the military is to kill people and break things, it’s not a social program. Whatever makes it more effective at killing people and breaking things of those who would kill me and break my things, is OK with me.
