They believe that striving to implement their ideological view of how the world should be is more important than whether or not it can actually be applied in a real-life situation.
He is unfit to be an Officer in the US military.
First off, if you think that repealing DADT is going to result in a coming out party for all the gays in the military, you're navie to say the least. The fact of the matter is that many soldiers, though granted not all of them, view grown men who sodomize each other as unnatural freaks. Maybe this isn't an "evolved" opinion, but it's just reality.
G.I. Joe said:There are many situations in the Army where you're in close quarters and being close to an openly gay man would be akward. There was a guy in my basic training who had a habit of staring at guy's penises in the shower. Finally a dude called him out on it and he ended up getting the living **** kicked out of him.
G.I. Joe said:There are gay men in all branches of the service. Some are pretty much known, some are completely secret. The fact is it does not serve anyone's interest to have them broadcast their sexuality. This is just another instance of liberals trying to shove the gay lifestyle down people's throats and make them accept it as legitimate and respectable.
G.I. Joe said:Liberals are making the same mistake with this issue that they do with everything else. They believe that striving to implement their ideological view of how the world should be is more important than whether or not it can actually be applied in a real-life situation. I honestly believe that liberalism is a mental disorder.
Like I posted back a page it made a difference.
Take a bunch of homophobic young men hopped up on testosterone and typical tough guy army bull****. Now throw a few homosexuals into the mix.
Race is not a lifestyle choice.
Not personally. But Blackwater doesn't discriminate against homosexuals.
Is that any more different thatn how whites used to feel about blacks?
YES, there comes a time when things need to change.
This has nothing at all to do with my point.
To answer your question no, but this issue is not the same.
The anti-DADT crowd has been comparing apples to oranges all through this thread.
My problem is they seem to think it did not work in the past. It did work right or wrong.
I think now with the attitudes of young people changing it may no longer be needed. This does not diminish the fact it helped back in the 80's, again right or wrong.
Are we really comparing skin color to the lifestyle of a sodomite?Yep just like Blacks used to be activists. I mean blacks can't be officers can they?
Tell me Triad, does the fact that the military used to think blacks were second class people incapable of leading people mean it is true?
Are we really comparing skin color to the lifestyle of a sodomite?
Service in the military is not a right. There are physical, mental and societal considerations which can disqualify one from service. Physical: hearing/vision standards. Mental: record of anxiety disorder/shizophrenia. Societal: Felony Convictions.
I have never had a desire to know every sexual exploit of the people I have served with. I have no problem with the current policy.
I do not want to shower with a company of homosexuals (no offense).
Does this mean we need separate hetero male, hetero female, homo male and homo female heads?
Yep, and at one time there was a regulation that said only whites could be officers. Regulations change.
Here's a hint, most people that are gay don't want to talk about their sex life either just like most heterosexuals don't like to talk about what they do in bed.
Under the DADT policy a person most likely already has done that.
No, it doesn't.
Why did you skip over Blackdog's post? You're not going to call him a homophobe, bigot and a **** sucker, like the rest of us who are, "nuts"?
It would appear so. Do you think being gay is a choice? If so, when did you choose to be straight and why would anyone choose to be gay?Are we really comparing skin color to the lifestyle of a sodomite?
The only place I disagree with him is in that DADT never worked, I saw it work. I know it worked.

I don't think you are nuts, I think you have an antiquated view of gays serving in the military is all.
Speaking as a heterosexual soldier who has served with and even showered with "gay" soldiers, I think people who spend a lot of time thinking about this subject are a bunch of closet cases. Please find a more important issue then imagining being uncomfortable in a shower because "gays might be there". I promise, if you have ever showered in a public shower "gays were there", and no regulations are going to change this.
