Ladies with Seamen! Don't Ask, and certianly Don't TellFollow

You must be thinking the military is Infantry. You're forgetting us medics. And intelligence. And cooks, supply, transport, translators, laundry and the list could go on (But I'm missing my Smart Book. And so help me God if my old drill instructor found out...) of people in the military that lack this overblown testosterone that makes for a lame excuse and make up the true majority in the military. You wanna play democracy?

Also: Try including women, you anachronistic ****.



If our presence is a distraction to other men... I've got some questions I'm not legally allowed to ask.

Nino,



I think you're confusing military with military support personnel. I'm not against women serving in the military, just not on the front lines. I also think the don't ask don't tell policy was the best way to go, unless of course you're playing politics.

Moebius,

Perhaps we should actually listen to the generals on this, and most of the military. No matter how you spin it homosexuality is not conducive to the military environment.

Homophobia is? You would think accepting all enlisted personnel would be more helpful. No matter how you spin it, gays are already in the armed forces and you gain nothing by discharging them if they're "outed."

Locked,



You may not like this but most good old boys, who make up a large part of the military really don't want to share a foxhole with a homosexual. That's why I was in favor of don't ask don't tell, something slick willy actually got right.

It has been, though. Twice.

1) Integration

2) Women in the military



ALSO: Don't make assumptions about the rest of the countrys' attitudes on gays, you knuckle-draggin', cross-burnin', ****-hatin', cousin-pumpin', whiskey-swillin', slack-jawed dimwit.

Is this racist enough to get Virus banned...again...please?

I believe that may be outside Kaolian's purview, considering he doesn't post here.

Not to defend Varus, but I have no problem with referring to him as the chimp in chief given his proclivity for throwing ****. That has nothing to do with his race.

Now, if Varus comes out and calls him the HNIC, that might be beyond the pale.

He also "called a spade a spade" in the Kagan thread.

But he's all about tolerance, amirite?

Moebius,

There you go. I guess I shouldn't make fun of the way our Commander in Chief looks.

What's wrong with calling a black man a monkey? It's not like he called him a lawn jockey or something.

I don't know, you brought up spades.
