Hillary Clinton: Those kicked out of military for being gay should get honorable discharges
The Washington Post's PostPolitics ^ | October 3, 2015 | Anne Gearan

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton proposed Saturday that military records be amended to upgrade dishonorable discharges imposed on gay, lesbian and transgender military veterans.

People drummed out of the armed services in years past for being gay should be able to get their records changed to reflect an honorable discharge, Clinton said.

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell is over, but that doesn't change the fact that more than 14,000 men and women were forced out of the military for being gay, some long before Don't Ask, Don't Tell even existed," Clinton said, referring to the 1993 law that allowed gays and lesbians to serve in the military if they did not reveal their sexual orientation.

"They were given less than honorable discharges," Hillary Clinton said. "I can't think of a better way to thank those men and women for their service than by upgrading their service records."(continued)

I can live with that.

They should STILL not be in the military, but if they were kicked out in the past and served honorably then OK. It follows you around forever.

There’s hope for John F. Kerry’s military record to be redeemed after all...

The only discharge they deserve is the kind that’s treated by antibiotics.

Don't Ask/Don't Tell was a compromise made to take the issue off the table, as it was damaging the Clinton Administration in its early weeks.

Now there's full blown homosexuality allowed in the military.

Never ever compromise with leftists

She does realize that they make up, at best, 5% of the population, right?

Might you mean "at worst" instead? My estimate is more like 1.5%, not counting the not-compulsion-driven but simply amoral who will stick anything anywhere if it might feel good.

Not to worry Hillary, they’re probably already getting discharges for all body orifices. No doctor would call them honorable.
