I can only speak from the Navy perspective but living in close quarters aboard a ship it will never work for blacks to serve ..............There will be violence on both sides and it will destroy morale and unity......

See how silly it sounded back then too?

That would seem to the openly homosexuals problem. Surely they are smart enough stay under the Sonar to avoid just such a problem.

I just think that right now with Obama and the rest of the Anti-Americans trying to destroy the economy then everything else this is a non issue and being udes as a diversion.

Why would you be opposed to the assumedly non-homosexual from receiving punishment if he was fellated by an admitted homosexual. I see them both equally guilty of homosexual conduct. You may have not meant to imply that though. Catch or pitch, they're both gay to me.

Maybe bisexual but not gay but they did receive the same punishment..

I don't know when back then was but I had no problem serving with black men.....I don't think anyone from the north did or from the south in that matter...

Well the status quo worked great in my 20 years of service..

The status quo also worked great when blacks were in segregated units. Pity they had to force integration and undermine unit cohesion. God knows how much damage integration did to our military ;)

One of the problems that was brought up back in the early 90's when Clinton created the DADT policy…..living arrangements. I guarantee some people are going to have problems when forced to room with an openly opposite sex attraction challenged American. We are not talking skin color or national origin; we are talking about a sexual action/choice. That is going to cause problems. Men and women don't get roomed together in many bases around the world to reduce sexual relations and sexual assaults. So I would assume this would be a similar situation and when able (can't do it on a Navy ship though) everyone should have their own room. I know the expense that would incur, and so did the Clinton Administration when they compromised with DADT instead of allowing it to be totally out in the open.

You are right and you can multiply that by 100 when aboard a ship where you sleep only inches away from your shipmate..........

I like the objection that it will make some in the service "uncomfortable." As if being in the military is normally comfortable.

At times it is very uncomfortable but you don't add fuel to the fire and make it more uncomfortable............

Very good and thoughtful words on the subject in that video. Thanks for posting that.

When it comes to Powell he has always been a RINO...Hell he voted for Obama........
 
I personally don't think we that are for DADT have anything to worry about........The dems don't have the votes to change the law and even if they did the yellow bastards would not cote on it before the midterm elections.........Its been forecast that the republicans will win big time in November and that will enforce even more that repealing DADT is dead in the water..............
 
Councilman said:
Why all the fascination with this issue? Are there that many guys on this site that are insecure in their manhood they feel it necessary to keep arguing about a life style choice such a big deal.
It's against the rules for men to have sex with women or to harass them just rewrite those rules to include homosexuals, and if they break the rules punish hell out of them but don't throw them out end of story.

I think the problem is that most of the guys in here are not in the military nor have no intention of ever joining so its easy for them to say hell yes, let them serve openly.........If there was a draft or if they had to join the military most of them would be singing a different tune..........Its easy to be so liberal on the issue............no skin off their ass...............

Militant gays do not want to be in the military. Good Gawd!

It's not that simple, Powell expects there to be a methodical approach to make this change, it's not just repealing a law and then let things go as they please.

I suspect this will happen much faster than anybody thinks. They've been monitoring this damn thing for 17 years. After his U.N. speech, Powell doesn't exactly carry the weight he used to. Sad.

You're in deep denial.

The top brass are saying publicly to drop it, those who once supported it (Colin Powell) are saying publicly to drop it, and the President wants to drop it.

Of course there will be a methodical approach. Towards repealing it.

I think that most people believe that Powell was doing his job at the UN.

Many people believe he was lying! I think he was duped but, that impression is out there.

BTW, "doing his job" should NEVER have included lying to the American people. Even tho his superiors thought and acted otherwise, all the time.
