Serious question. What kind of leader goes along with actions that will harm his company or country? A good one or a bad one?
What kind of leader finds flushing his career more repulsive than standing for his oath/beliefs? A good one or a bad one?
Lastly, would you personally put your country or your career first?
All your arguments are predicated on the idea that allowing homosexuals to serve openly is harming the country. While I agree there will be a general decay of the culture which the civilian world is already leaps and bounds ahead of us on, there’s no evidence to say that it’s truly harming anyone or anything. Homosexuals have been serving more or less openly for many years now. I knew of a half-dozen or more within a 100m radius of my desk in Afghanistan nearly five years ago.

What would these people say if obama gave an order to nuke Texas? Should the officers resign? Or should they stay and try to “change things from within”?
