as I type?
The need for immediate repeal of DADT is so obvious that I won't bother to make the arguments for its demise.
Maybe a picture is worth a thousand words . . .

Senate votes to repeal "Don't ask, don't tell," by a margin of 34 votes (65 - 31).
How very progressive of them

QUOTE(cdoyal @ Dec 21 2010, 01:08 PM) Disclaimer: I have no position on gays in the military. However, I do think the decision should be made by the Pentagon, not politicians. Just sayin'. The civilians are the ultimate bosses, hence the President being known as the Commander in Chief, the Secretary of Defense is the direct boss of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, etc.I heard an interesting discussion the other day. Someone asked what would happen if an officer gave an order to a gay soldier in battle and the soldier refused claiming discrimination. Not saying it would happen. But now that the law is changed, it could happen. Just a thought to ponder... One would hope and assume the same exact result of a "straight" soldier/marine/sailor/airman making the same claim.
A thorough investigation of the occurence and circumstances involved followed by recommendations of administrative action/Court Martial charges or no action taken at all. That's the way it's done, regardless of the sexual orientation of the claimant. The armed forces have been dealing with charges of "discrimination" from time immemorial. They've pretty much got it down.

On that note, if it were that way, what would protect the citizens from the military? QUOTE(yilduz @ Jan 12 2011, 07:59 PM) I agree with cdoyal in that civilians should not be making, removing, changing, or otherwise effecting military standards and regulations in any way. I only spent one year in the Army, but it was long enough to know how things are run in the military, and long enough to understand why things are the way they are. I have no problem with gays in the military, my problem with this entire thing has been that civilians are changing military regulations, and they should have no place there.

Anyone willing to go through basic training, go to a Specialized school, put on a gun and uniform and fight for this country should be allowd to be in the army, neavy, marines, and air force, etc should have the right to serve in our military. No matter whether they are gay straight, purple orane or what ever!

The civilians have been in charge of the U.S. military for 230+ years.
