No, that's not saying much for some individuals. And like it or not, there is a resentment against the repealing of DADT in our military and that resentment is prone to amplifying the false justifications that irrational individuals use to talk themselves into acting.
That doesn't negate safety issues from within. Just because it's not a stray bullet doesn't mean it may not be a stray beating or stray blunt object or any number of things. Don't be daft in focusing on a single hypothetical minutiae in an effort to deflect from the broader point.
If this were being changed during peace time, I would be 100% behind it because focus could be made on a transition process. However, I dont see that happening in a war zone.
Yeah. True. I can see those points, especially during war time. Still it's sad that anyone (in the military or not) would be capable of that type of attack against someone serving beside them. But I'm not going to argue against it and say it couldn't happen.
But still... is THAT the reason not to end DADT? I don't know. Maybe it would be best to wait until peace time to end it. But with the "war on Terror" being open ended peace time may never come.
