Re: 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy repealed today
Any bets on how long it will be before someone files a complaint about being discriminated against for being homosexual after being "asked" by a superior??? The bottom line is that it's no one's business who you sleep with but yours. Dropping DADT, means that the military now has the right to ask and if you are in the military and are asked a question by a superior, you have a legal obligation to tell that person the truth. So if you have someone who wants to keep their sex life private, they no longer have that right, since any one with more stripes/jewelry can basically force them to reveal this part of thier life. It seems like the focus has been on the "don't tell" part, but the "don't ask" part was a VERY good thing and losing that means a step backwards.

Re: 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy repealed today
well. This is not going to end well for any of us. This is going to affect our military which is exactly what the left wants. There may be an exodus but then again there may be hell on wheels for poofters in the American military.

After 1 year? Will you be willing to admit "Yeah. I had a stupid prediction and it didn't even come close to true" at that stage?  Quote:
How many of those law-suits do you see in the civilian world?  You don't know crap about gays. While I have no doubt that stupid law-suits happen like getting burned on coffee at McDonalds, such a thing has to do with the universal problem of having stupid people and court systems willing to waste their time on such problems. Furthermore under the previous DADT situation, I welcome you to show me ANYWHERE where a superior "asked" about a person being gay and there were actually punitive repercussions for the superior. Part of the problem of the previous policy was that it was untenable. The only enforceable part was the part that was actually law. http://www.cmrlink.org/HMilitary.asp?docID=29 THAT was the only thing actually encoded in law. The part regarding *If you're gay in the military, that's wrong* There was no law saying "don't ask". That was just Clinton's edict he created that had no real enforcement.

A long time coming. I heard Obama at the UN this morning speaking and he covered a lot, but a few words were for all countries to become open to this topic.
