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.
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.
I would disagree with that. This isn't Heinline's "Starship Troopers" world. Service in the military is a privileged that not everyone is qualified for. It requires a certain kind of person, and not everyone fits the mold. Having said that, if a person wants to join the military for the right reasons - patriotism, service, sense of duty, desire to protect our country and what it stands for - then I'm not sure that sexual orientation should be an automatic disqualifier. DADT is history. I don't like the way this change has been forced upon the military, but there is is. Still if my military service taught me anything it's that the United States Armed Forces as an institution is pretty resilient. It has survived a lot of tinkering and interference over the years, it will survive this. All this talk about how it will destroy discipline does no credit to the hundreds of thousands of men and women who will not let it do that.
