Vanity: Is serving in the military a constitutional civil RIGHT?
Jim Robinson

Posted on 12/19/2010 12:25:15 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Can anyone just march into a recruiting office and demand his constitutionally guaranteed civil RIGHT to serve? Or does he first have to qualify? Mentally, educationally, physically, healthwise, morally, etc?

Wanted: A few good MEN (girly-men in a pinch)

More to the point, since miltary service is government employment, when will they be “given” their Penumbrally Emminating Right to collectively bargain, and join SEIU?

Thanks for insight :) I haven’t read all his posts- but a couple just pissed me off enough to respond. I rarely feed trolls- but now and again- I can’t help it!

I think the men and women in our military are mature and strong enough to handle many things. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be in the military

I served during Vietnam with a number of homosexuals who were discrete. I'm not even sure if DADT was in effect back then. If it was then it was successful and nobody complained.

Removal of DADT WILL have dire effects on personnel morale and will most likely require a whole new set of rules for the UCMJ..............

My son, a Citadel senior, also cannot serve due to peanut allergies. He is also very disappointed.

Well, that was the question. Seems there are some people (mostly leftists, including congressional reps and presidents who wouldn’t or didn’t serve even if they could) who act as though service in the US military IS a constitutionally guaranteed CIVIL right and that there should be no moral standards or considerations whatsoever.

I will thank you to take your defense of the evil leftist homosexual agenda somewhere else. We do not want or appreciate it on FR.

Leftist politicians define a Civil Right as anything that will help them get reelected. RINO’s follow along like the little lap dogs that they are. Hence homosexual rights, transsexual rights, illegal immigrant rights, descendants of slaves rights, feminist rights, so on and so forth.

The destruction of our many institution through the advancement of this self-serving philosophy is not coincidental. Our military is one of the few institution to escape this debasement. The left is determined to put an end to this aberration to their left wing vision.

If the only thing holding someone back is their sexual religious orientation then I believe it is unconstitutional. If he can’t run, he’s out. If he can’t follow orders, he’s out. If he can’t shoot a gun, he’s out. If he can do everything but just so happens to fancy dudes, be a Rastafarian who smokes pot from dawn 'til dusk, who cares?

Don be rippin' on me 'cos 'o mah reeleejon, mon!

But, do they "play with each other" when they should be on watch? Why should an officer be worried about who he puts together in the holes?
