"Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the nearly 18-year-old policy that allowed gays to serve in the military as long as they kept their sexual orientation a secret, was officially repealed at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
The following official Defense Department memo acknowledges the historic repeal. "Effective today," it reads, "statements about sexual orientation or lawful acts of homosexual conduct will not be considered as a bar to military service."
DADT was the liberal compromise.
This is the leftist “screw you”.
All we asked was they don’t make their faggotry public. Why do they have to make their faggotry public?
What if those "lawful acts" are illegal in the country in which you are serving?
I don't believe they are legal in Afghanistan or Iraq or Kuwait. Does this mean that homosexuals get a pass when it comes to deployment in these regions?
And what about sex with minors in those countries where the legal age of consent in 12 or 13. Does this mean that American Servicemen can engage in what is considered statutory rape or child molestation in the United States as long as they do it where it is legal?
This is the beginning of the end of our military and our Country.
Does anyone know what percentage of the military is actually LGBT (or whatever they’re calling themselves)?
Panetta would not sign his name to it, eh?
A truly conservative house and a truly conservative senate majority of 61 and a truly conservative president could turn this around.
Immediately.
The health issues alone are reason enough for any sane legislative body to turn this around. You add great reasons as well. Status of Forces agreements in host nations cannot be ignored. Nor can US law.
But a revolution in public voting is what’s needed.
And that awaits a takeover of the media by conservatives. How to accomplish that? The same way it was originally done. Subterfuge about one’s true positions until they achieve a position of power.
Another day to take the Flag inside.
It was a destruction of centuries of military code and culture!!!!
Whatever it is, it will now be more as homo-activist with nothing better to do pour in to recruiting offices to flaunt their perversion in America's face. And many of the ones who are already in will start screaming "look at me!!!!"
Dear Democrats; now that we have everything we want, we’ve decided to use our money to buy liquor, illegal drugs and Mexican boys instead of funding your campaigns. Love and kisses, The Homosexuals
Like Obamacare, this must not be allowed to stand.
It endangers the republic itself for it has our government directly choosing political concerns over battlefield effectiveness.
The military’s purpose is to win the nation’s wars. Period.
Anything that injures battlefield effectiveness threatens the survival of the republic.
Yes, and within 8 hours it was already being celebrated on some mainstream media outlets. It took them less than 8 hours to proclaim that “all was well”.
Instead of counting cadence while marching..recruits will sing ‘My Guy” and snappy renditions of “Lollipop”..
The NEW Army won’t shoot the enemy; they’ll corn-hole ‘em!
Homosexuality is a mental illness and has no place at all in an effective - and critical - military service.

The sodomites are enraged that their "marriages" won't be recognized by the armed forces for purposed of benefits. This is the next obstruction that they will zero in on with all of their resources. Expect, within 1 month, for lawsuits to pile ceiling high against this. And expect the Ø administration to cave to it.
The military code also faces an extensive re-write because of this travesty. While they're at it, expect many more politically correct changes to be inserted freely at the will of liberals.
