The US military must be the laughing stock of the world’s military.

What does he figure - there will be a lot of slack taken up by the new gay recruits, so who needs that many troops? I wonder if they have any idea how many that will prompt to leave? I doubt it.

What a disappointment.
I predict lower recruitment, fewer retentions, and much, much more strife.
All pointless and all entirely avoidable.
What a world

I know of two that did. One left the Navy after 10 years. The other is leaving the Army when his enlistment is up.

So all a troop has to do is say "I can't handle DADT repeal" and they get an immediate honorable discharge?
Anything else would make David a liar.

0bama’s backdoor way of getting non 0bamanite out of the military and replacing them with those loyal to his brand of fascism.

Hard to believe a Command Sargeant Major said this...

If he gets his wish, we’re going back to the draft...bank on it.

The aide who made this comment is a fool. He’s got the problem ass backwards and it’s those who feel the need to flaunt their need for a same sex relationship that should be gettin’ out of the service...

Troops who can't accept the idea of overturning the ban on gays in the military should consider leaving the service, says a senior aide to Gen. David Petraeus. People who can't accept the idea of the United States heading down the same path of destruction as the Roman Empire should consider leaving the country.

Really disappointing coming from a Command Sergeant Major.

Don’t know about that. Served with the Danish troops for a while in Kosovo. They have allowed homosexuals in their service for a long time. They won’t be laughing. They’ll be asking for date cards.

Oh man. In the middle of a war this guy has the brass to say this?
I would give a lot to have this sonuvabitch get an earful from Patton.
