2 Generals Wary About Repealing Gay Policy

To you. Many that actually have experience in the military disagree.

And many of us who have that military experience do feel it is time to change the policy.
 
Two quick points.

1) I am not gay

2) being gay is exceptional in that it is relatively rare, 5 to 10 % of the population I believe.

1-WOW...just out of curiosity...why did you feel the need to correct that notion?

2-using that definition, so are any number of groups practicing different forms of sexual deviancy 'exceptional'

We'll see how it all works out.

Most likely we will. it's looking like they are probably going to phase it out over the next 2 or so years.

1) For accuracy. You made an incorrect assumption, I corrected it.

2) being gay is not sexual deviancy.
 
Yes, they are serving, but if it is confirmed that the person is gay, the person is discharged. I just spoke to a co-worker who has a friend who was in the Air Force as a Russian linguist. He has been discharged because he's gay. Gee, I wonder how many Russian linguists we have in the service. :roll:

So I guess if you demand people know you are gay you get booted. Point is you know that when you sign up.

How does repealing DADT improve the military?
 
So they found two homophobic generals.. big wutido.

Yeah they have a difference of opinion from you and you know better then them since you have served in the U S military so the only answer is they must be homophobes........Unbelieveable........

Not if it comes from the militant gay mafia where you are smeared & called names if you disagree with there agenda
 
There's been a lot of hypothetical talk about many in the armed forces not being able to handle gays. But Canada, Great Britain, and Australia all have gay people serving. Did their militaries implode?

Watch your backs, the gay mafia is after you....

Allowing them to not live in secrecy for their entire careers, to file for housing and other rights heterosexual couples have. Its not a right to tell people you are gay its a right to be who you are in the military with the same benefits that others in the military experience.

They technically would be exceptional but why do you qualify homosexuals as 'deviants'? It's actually quite natural.

You are talking about the gays. How does it benefit the military. How will it help our national security or national defense?

I am not concerned about the Gays I am concerned about my country.

How was it detrimental to those Commonwealth countries that allowed gays to openly serve?

I don't care I don't live in those countries.

If a gay can't obey DADT I doubt he will have the discipline it takes to be a soldier 24/7.

If a gay refuses to obey DADT what other orders will he refuse to obey?
 
I just hope the powers listen to these 2 active duty generals....They know what is happening and how the enlisted men feel...........

If DADT was repealed, they wouldn't be refusing to obey orders now would they?
Perhaps you can give us a reason not to repeal it? Instead of talking about "the gays."

The gays are disobeying it and complaining about getting booted. That leaves me asking the previous question.

If DADT was repealed they could disobey other direct orders. It shows they do not have the discipline military life requires.

It benefits the gays who are part of the military. What do you have against them? Are you under the assumption that allowing gays to openly serve will weaken our national security? Why are you so concerned that they have equal rights? Is that some sort of threat to your safety? Why are you so concerned?

The army was equally effective without integration, why integrate?
 
What do you want him to call a gay person?

What I would like is to have him answer the question. I don't have a problem with what words he chooses to associate with gay people. It's just a little funny to me because of the widely recognized internet phrase used to make fun of people who have issues with "the ghey."

Maybe you'd like to answer the question? ;)

If gays have to talk about this how do we trust them with military secrets.

Notice my previous posts on the discipline. It is not an 8 hour a day job.

Besides your job you have to stay in shape. Keep your appearance right .You have to keep up with changing procedures. You have to study for promotion tests.

If they cannot follow the orders of DADT what other orders will they disobey. Will they have the discipline to do what is expected of them 24/7?
 
The gays are disobeying it and complaining about getting booted. That leaves me asking the previous question.

Instead of asking what benefit of repealing DADT would be, perhaps the question would be why DADT was implemented in the first place? What exactly is the benefit of keeping it?

If DADT was repealed they could disobey other direct orders. It shows they do not have the discipline military life requires.

...because gays just disobey orders because they're gay? Are they naturally like that?

I notice you dodge my points. People who have served understand what I am talking about.
