Whoa! Calm down there, mama. Nothing so sinister. People tend to forget that the military is a GIANT bureaucracy. Like any bureaucracy, it is VERY slow in adapting to its current environment. As would-be servicemembers like this Dennis kid increase, they'll be forced to look at their admission criteria and make the necessary changes in policy--but it won't happen overnight.
Dennis is still hoping he’ll be able to join the Air Force. If he’s not allowed to enlist, he said he plans to go to college and join ROTC.
That would be better for him anyway.
The military has accepted the repeal of DADT rather quickly. Honestly good conservative Christian men should avoid military service until we see how this new social agenda plays out. I would suggest college and ROTC over enlistment at this time. He may find he changes his mind about serving as time goes by. This is what I suggested as a course of action for my nephew. Right now the militarize priorities are skewed. It is a shame he is being treated this way.
Even better, with a 3.9 grade average and a congressman on your side, why not an application for a nomination to the AF Academy?
