WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama has formally repealed the ban on gays serving openly in the military.

Administration officials say Obama on Friday signed a certification ending the 17-year-old "don't ask don't tell" policy.

If you had to order a soldier to go on a suicide mission you would pick the one without the wife and kids,right?
But before you choose him you send Bruce—the guy who wont EVER have the wife and kids,right?

This thing may have a silver lining—could make small unit actions less depressing.

just joshing

[Happy Rain]

Yeah,and those guys who beat the crap out of him will be charged with homophobic hate crimes, get court marshaled and then spend the rest of their lives at hard labor in prison.
The UCMJ will be all about political correctness and homosexuals will be the new privileged class.Heck,just complaining about homosexuals acting up will get you a dishonorable discharge.

With a volunteer military , how long will it be before the USA can brag about a predominate and uniquely queer fighting force?

1. It won't be voluntary for too much longer. Look for the draft when recruitment falls way off...although with a crappy economy, that may take a while.

2. There aren't enough queers either in right now, or who really want to be in the military in the first place, to make them the prodominant group. This was nothing more than a poke in the eye of God fearing Americans.p>

But it might just happen. Then you have others that you need to watch your back but might not.

We may have touched,unintentionally,on a scenario that qualifies for precedent setting and somewhat grotesque unintended consequences that will result during extreme combat realities upon the armed forces final divorce from DADT.
If I were a noncom trapped with my men in an indefensible position under intense enemy fire knowing somebody needs to draw fire so that the rest of us survives,who would I pick to die to save us all.
The natural human choice would be the one lacking in life's potential—the counter-evolutionary homosexual who has no natural nor healthy future or chance of biological legacy plus being a grab ass pansy goosing bums and making smoochy lips at the real men in the contingent daring anyone to call him fag,homo or queer—knowing they would be wrote up for it—well,it becomes too easy a choice.
But so damn politically incorrect—thus so damn dangerous to not only your military career but your very freedom.

Glad to be a civilian today.

And I am glad that my military service preceded all this crap, including DADT. It then (1959-62) was a matter of Hell no, no homosexuals allowed, period.

Ahh, life was so much simpler then.

[Pat4ever]

Are you kidding? Glad I missed it. Gays in the military are nothing new; many serve honorably. The difference here is this new group will be trying to make a career out of being gay and equaling the score rather than serving our country.

[Retain Mike]

And thank you.

[Theodore R.]

It was Toomey who was not yet in office but endorsed the repeal of DADT. PA conservatives were apparently surprised at his move.

[cunning_fish]

Didn’t he de-facto ended a ban after he turned into a POTUS and a supreme commander?:)

[RecoveringPaulisto]

Your number two might not actually be the case. Many homosexuals try to be very “masculine” and are gay because they think femininity is somehow inferior to their perverted form of masculinity. So, these homosexuals tend to be rather savage warriors, ready to slaughter bystanders at will and would sign up for the military to have the opportunity. This is why Greek Hoplites, particularly groups of homosexual warriors like the “Sacred Band of Thebes,” organized around homosexual pederasty, were so fearsome on the battlefield.

On the contrary, heterosexual soldiers with strong relationships with the women in their lives tend to be much more humane since they understand compassion because that tends to be a strength of femininity that is rejected by these homosexuals who adopt their perverted form of masculinity.

You sound like a sociopath. Offense intended.

[gogogodzilla]

Basic training taught me how great it was that I needed to wear glasses... as I can’t focus on anything that’s farther out than one foot.

That’s because I couldn’t wear my glasses in the shower... and so couldn’t see a damn thing.

:-P

“Nothing consistent or coherent.”
Fair and balanced ?!?

[central_va]

DADT was voted on during the lame duck session, Christmas eve I think. Just like all other destructive bad legislation. Cowards.

[central_va]

Dear Naive One,
The LGBT community has an agenda to destroy all traditional institutions. Queers will look at this “opportunity” as a call to duty, first to join and then act like the biggest sodomites in front of everyone. It’s their way.

[central_va]

Hey Ivy League, bugger off. You 've never been in combat except at some queer bait frat party I'll bet.

If I were an NCO of a platoon I'd make sure the queer got all the crap jobs, you better believe it.

[central_va]

It wont be the destruction of the military, but it will be the destruction of the queers. Just watch, casualties will go up, and lots of the gays will be coming back in plastic bags

Light pink bags with glitter accent.

[RedEyeJack]

“Now is the time for all gays serving in the military to finally come out of the closet!

After all, Obama has freed you to do so... right???”
