(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, told a West Palm Beach, Fla., television station over the weekend that he is now okay with homosexuals in the military and does not want to reverse the repeal of the Dont Ask Dont Tell policy.
I talked to a lot of good friends of mine who are combat leaders in the theater, and they just didnt think the timing of this was right to do this when our troops were in the middle of harms way in combat, Ryan told WPTV Saturday, when asked about the one-year anniversary of the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell.

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, told a West Palm Beach, Fla., television station over the weekend that he is now okay with homosexuals in the military and does not want to reverse the repeal of the Dont Ask Dont Tell policy.

Now that its done, we should not reverse it. I think that would be a step in the wrong direction because people have already disclosed themselves.
I think this issue is past us, he added. Its done. And I think we need to move on.
I agree that it is very, very hard.
But in the DOD, specifically while under contractual terms of the UCMJ, military members are sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the USA, while voluntarily losing most personal legal protections as civilian citizens.
They live under the much more restrictive code of the UCMJ.
Enforcement of the UCMJ has been slowly eroding, keeping pace with our declining moral values in civilian society, and the growth of a pervasive civilian government.
I wish I had the answer on how to correct our course.
Based on my limited knowledge of history, the breaking point is almost here.
The choice of who will be President when all hell breaks loose is Obama or Romney.
Some think it doesn't much matter, but I watched another RINO Presidential candidate, Ronald Reagan, stave off WWIII, and bring this nation back from the brink of economic collapse.
Romney has a better shot at repeating history for our betterment than does Obama.
Social Conservatives have unfortunately lost several important battles.
May God have mercy on our souls if they give up on the war now!
You want to play?
Calling me ignorant suggests you refer to facts rather than opinions on an issue. You espouse leftist opinion.
You equate homosexual sex (intrinsically disordered) with heterosexual sex (normal) by suggesting that some whore mongers not being disciplined is tantamount to allowing homosexual sex to be condoned in the military. Where do you get this type of moral relative reasoning to derive truth is anything but ignorant?
There are many useful idiots out there and I found another one.
Lame Duck Congress two years ago. The 60+ defeated house rats had nothing to lose, except their country.
Two pubbie senators voted in favor.
Ironically, I'm past Ryan. He will never get a vote from me, and neither will Mittens. I need to move on.
I have no doubt we're headed in that direction, no matter which liberal wins in November. This nation has an appointment with destiny.
The whole country is going to move on, no matter who wins this election.
We've been on a trajectory toward a grand showdown between left and right for a long time now, and there's nothing the current crop of spineless politicians are going to do to stop it.
Of course it matters. This is one of those "unring the bell" type things. What do you do with those who've availed themselves of the policy in the past year if your repealed?
