If they want to treated like everyone else, why are they separating themselces?

Anyone still think we’re going to beat al Queda?

...10 tears ago when this issue came up, I wasn't that concerned. It's none of my business and if I were gay and a soldier, I probably wouldn't say, because, IT'S MY BUSINESS!!!

... That said, it seems that "gay pride" is now a direct order, and that's what's offensive about this deal!!!

Don’t worry in the event of the inevitable CW II, the newly established CSA Army will not have fags in it.

Mark this date: we’re done as a society. As this becomes normalized throughout the military, fewer and fewer good men will be willing to join. This is the day the military begins its mutation from a somewhat politically correct organization, but that is filled with some of the best Americans, into what will eventually be a bunch of armed lefties. The military never would have been willing, to date, to follow orders against the American populace. But 20 years from now, when the best men have been drained out and replaced with immoral, godless heathen—we’ll find out what happens.

THe Navy edition should be called Down Periscope.

If God doesn’t judge this nation soon I suppose apologies to Sodom & Gomorrah will be in order.

You knew this was on its way. Any of the Republican potential candidates talking about reversing this directive?

[edge10]

In the 80s it was ‘Not in my Navy!’. Now with Zer0 in the WH it’s ‘Anything Goes!’.

Sickening.

It is time for these military members to be honored for their extraordinary commitment and sacrifice in defense of our country,"

whoa, i didnt realize that they were disqualified from serving and being promoted or earning medals while being closeted ...

or does he mean celebrating their rump humping ???

The sad thing is that in 15 years (or sooner), the Gay mafia will probably run the Military. It will be straight soldiers who will have to suck up to their gay superiors. Literally and figuratively.

Tragically, only getting our clock cleaned big time in a war will put a stop to this foolishness.

...but weren’t soldiers in Afghanistan forced.to get rid of their BIBLES?

A long time ago I joined the Army to help defend our country. But if I thought I might have to endure a barracks full of homos I would NEVER had signed up. I'd have found something saner, less disgusting, and less sinful to do with my time. Freely allowing homos in the military will have the same effect on young men today as it would have had on me back then had it been allowed. Some very good men who would have made excellent soldiers/warriors will not enlist into an army of sexual deviants.

In fact, the allowing of this will only serve to attract homosexual deviants into the military. And just as the Catholic Church has discovered to its dismay, homosexual perverts cannot restrain themselves as normal men do. Whatever these twisted pigs infiltrate, they will try to bring down to their level, and destroy it. DANG it is hard to watch our nation destroy itself from within.

Good they are giving a list of who to avoid.

[cherry]

these people are traitors....absolute traitors....I would expect good hearted people would RESIGN before carrying out these types of orders...

but that's what you get when your military becomes mercenary....

[RichInOC]

DADT repeal...putting the “Unnngh!” in gung-ho.

[JSDude1]

Makes me less apt to support the military (at least the brass & policies)..

[hosepipe]

This is NOT fabulous..

[Cincinna]

It was only a question of time. To those who don’t take the “slippery slope” argument seriously, get ready for same - sex weddings in chapels on Military bases, uniforms, crossed swords and all.
