You IGNORED the facts I stated in the above linked post.
Now either admit that I am right, or shut the heck up and go away.
You called me a liar in post 45, I posted backing proof.

Soldiers with HIV are not being booted as you claimed.
Now either admit you were wrong, or shut up.
You can only choose one.
....crickets.....
To try and explain my frustration, I’m going to replay this step by step. Then I’m done with this.
Onyx: “And what are they going to do to ensure a clean blood supply? Test the homos every month or spare them from the front lines?”
You: “That violates the medical right to privacy, so they wont do that.”
Me:”You made that up. All recruits are tested for HIV, and a positive result precludes entry. They are tested at least every two years, and before and after each deployment.”
[Note how I never said that service members who are already in, and later test HIV+, are being booted from the military.]
You:”While recruits are tested, if homos turn up HIV positive AFTERWARDS it is hushed and not spoken of.”
Me:”OK, it may be hushed up in the sense that it isnt announced to the world, and the service member isnt kicked out. But an HIV+ service member is precluded from being deployed outside the continental U.S.”
[Note how I said that a service member who is already in, and later tests HIV+, is NOT booted from the military.]
You: “Here are some links, showing that HIV+ service members are NOT being booted from the military.”
[Note how I never said otherwise, and in fact admitted this fact before you posted the links.]
DJ MacWow: Ivyleaguebrat, inconsistent is you! First you say HIV+ can’t join the military, and then you say that once they’re in, they can’t be kicked out. Totally inconsistent!
Me: No, it isn’t. It’s the actual military policy, crazy as that sounds.
You: You ignored my links! ACCEPT MAH AUTHORATAH. HIV+ are not being booted!
Me: YES I KNOW I JUST SAID THAT SADFASDF)_#@$_#( /suicide
