Pentagon repealing DADTFollow

"This successful policy has been in effect for over 15 years, and it is well understood and predominantly supported by our military at all levels," McCain's statement said, later adding: "At a time when our Armed Forces are fighting and sacrificing on the battlefield, now is not the time to abandon the policy."

So McCain & Co. already knew that Obama would talk about it.

Some might enjoy the vag.

Some might enjoy the vag.

Not all. Some enjoy bears.

There is no good reason why DADT needs to be reversed. Speaking as a veteran myself, this repeal will only hurt morale. This regulation only serves to keep morale high in situations where a gay soldier would cause problems. By problems, I'm referring to war time situations, not in the garrison environment. I had one particular gay solider in my unit and he made everyone myself included feel uncomfortable. The military doesn't always have the best accommodations and having gay males showering with straight guys is only going to cause problems. Foxholes, guard duty, sleeping next to someone on a cot, etc..

Let's be honest for a moment. Guys think with our *****, not our brains. Even during the worst possible situations in Iraq, a hot female solider could distract me or any straight guy for that matter. That's part of the reason why female soldiers can't be infantry. It simply causes a distraction. Under stress and hostile fire, the most primitive emotions of the human male psych take over. It's like a horny drunk guy in a club, you'll sleep with anyone if you're drunk enough. You might regret it the next morning, but you just can't help yourself if certain conditions exist.

By having an openly gay soldier in a unit with other guys who are entrenched in combat, only bad things can happen. War time is not the place for equality of your sexual preference. I can easily see a gay soldier being beat up or shot by friendly fire because the straight soldier felt they were watching them shower or something similar. I can see gays being allowed to serve in certain military jobs, but just like women, it has to be regulated so bad things don't happen. This isn't a matter of professionalism either. I wish it was as simple as that, but it's not. Animal instincts take over, that's the best way I can describe it. What works in an office setting doesn't translate well to a war zone. You see the best and worst of the people you work with and that's no lie.
