Who do you think they shower with now? And how does ending DADT make the situation any different? You will still have those gays who want to keep their sexual preference secret. When DADT is repealed and they are found out they can't be thrown out of the military because they are gay.Wow - this is hysterical considering that "how the troops feel about showering with gay guys (and so on)" is EXACTLY why we have "Don't Ask Don't Tell" to begin with.
If it started BECAUSE of our soldier's opinions - then shouldn't it end with their opinions?
Its about time we found out the troops in the field about this issue instead of the talking heads in Washington....

Pentagon sends out "don't ask, don't tell" surveyFrom Barbara Starr, CNNJuly 7, 2010 4:15 p.m. EDT
Washington (CNN) -- The Pentagon on Wednesday began sending out to troops a survey of more than 100 questions seeking their views on the impact of repealing the "don't ask, don't tell" restrictions prohibiting gays and lesbians from openly serving in the U.S. military.
An administration official confirmed to CNN that the survey is being sent to 200,000 active duty troops and 200,000 reserve troops. The official declined to be identified because the survey has not officially been made public.
I got a question for you Navy...
What are you gonna say if it comes back that the Majority of the military wouldn't mind DADT being overturned?

my money would be on it being more accepting in the Navy than the other branches my old friend. :2razz:
Blow jobs in the shower.
Not allowed under current rules, and still won't be allowed.
I will live with it.....What will you do if they don't?
Stand by for mass defections from senior petty officer from the Navy

I dout it highly Navy. Most people today, even those in the Navy, are not as homophobic as you are. Most will react like good soldiers do and will follow the order like they would any other order.
Well I won't like it... but just like you I'll live with it :shrug:
Fair enough buddy. Fair enough.
Most liberals will not live with it, that is the problem........
How unfortunate for you.
Not for me, unlike you I served my country so that people like you can whine........

I meant it's unfortunate for you that those damned liberals wont give it up. Just a matter of time, my right-wing friend.
And I served after you so that you can continue to express yourself as you do.
I find it perfectly reasonable to field these issues to men and women actively in service, since the policy changes will affect them directly. It's also useful for getting feedback on how living and working might need to be restructured to accommodate this rule change. Make no mistake though, it's going to be lifted. It's just a matter of figuring out the most accommodating way to do it.
As for the other stereotypical remarks about gays in this thread, I find them to be the distasteful echos of the mindset of a former generation that is stifled by ignorance, and a reminder of why progression is needed.
The problem is "Feel good Liberals" and a few militant gays don't care how the men in the military feel about the issue.........Its their way or the highway...........
They are the minority. DADT is going to be lifted one way or the other, and most people, both on the activism side and on the military side, favor moderate policy and realistic approaches. The fringes shout loudest but they don't represent everyone.
You have no clue what the guys in the military, the guys this actually affects feel about this issue...........I do...I talk to them every day....We shal see what the survey says........
