Dont ask Dont tell Policy Ruled Unconstitutional

You guys are analyzing this like sex crazed children. Do you connect the dots between behavior and outcomes?

I'm all for going gay, doing drugs, etc (do what you want)... but lets be honest, there are repurcussions. In a military unit, obedience, sameness and a common thought process are key; otherwise you end up like the Roman legions each running their own way looting, pillaging, banging each other etc. Being gay is akin to having a heroin user in the unit, they are thinking about other things. (just like if I were in a "woman only" unit as a man)

Be gay, do heroin, whatever ... but when you join any system that demands obedience those sort of things that cause you to "standout" are detrimental. Some more, some less.

Why the F would anyone want to join the military anyway?

You're freaking kidding me right?

Gotta be. Being gay and doing heroin are interchangeable, and bad for morale?

I need to go check the "full moon" calendar.
 
Being homosexual, is nothing, I repeat NOTHING close to being similar to a heroine addict.

Hetero is akin to a heroin addict. Craving, fulfilling, craving, thinking, desiring, fulfilling etc. etc.

My point is that it is a major distraction from unit cohesion. Playing video games is like being a heroin addict too, just less impactful. The point is heroin and sex are distractions.

Ergo, be gay, have tons of gay sex; be hetero and have tons of sex; do heroin all you want; but logical analysis would preclude those behaviors from something like the military.

Yes, I am saying gay people can't help themselves, just like heteros.

Hetero is? Well, why didn't you say so? We were all on the wrong page.
 
Not only that, but it probably funds terrorism too.

Definitely. I screwed up, it's Friday, I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Baby Jeebuz funds terrorism. There, I said it.

So your saying that allowing LGBT Americans to openly serve in the US Armed Forces is akin to having a bunch of heroine addicts serve? :screwy

People with sex on the brain don't function well. As I'm aging the desire is receding, and I'm much more effective in almost all aspects of life because of it.

20 year old gay people ...... pretty much a nitrous filled sex-bomb waiting to happen.

Yes, conceptually I am saying that. Assuming L w/ W and G w/ M and B w/ MW and T w/ uh ... goats? Can you refute it?
 
So ......a federal court in California ruled that the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy -- which bars gay men and lesbians from serving openly -- is unconstitutional. Yet, it was California that put gay marriage to a vote and they determined that they have no such right?

It has been stated on this thread and elsewhere that they are using the military for their social engineering. Perhaps there is truth here. Historically, it has always been the military that carried the burden of social change for the nation. When women were permitted to climb only so high in the civilian sector, the military was promoting them to levels of leadership and placing them in cockpits. When people were marching for civil rights and equality for blacks, the military's patrols were colorful. I used to think that the subject of homosexuality was the lone exception, but not anymore. If any state but California made this declaration I would think differently. Once again, civilians seek the one organization they can count on to force the issue for the suits.

It pretty much comes down to this. None of you have a clue about what you are talking about. Just a bunch of opinionated dip****s that don't have anything to do with enforcing changes or the ramifications of what those changes even are. And "DADT" was a Clinton creation to satisfy the same dip****s today who demand something from the military that they know is professional enough to enforce progress.

California is as conflicted as the rest of the country. I guess the military gets to yet again sort out the social norm for civilians.

Yup. Heteros, as you said. All they think about is sex. I'm surprised the military gets anything done. Thank god for the gays getting things back on track.
 
:lol: Are you really incapable of functioning around women?

I'm incapable of not being distracted by sex around women. Though as I mentioned, that is starting to fade.

Gay men have a lot more sex than heteros, so I would assume this is even more true for them.

What's so wrong with being a heroine addict? I'm definitely one!

I still doubt that id you're in a combat situation that the one thing on your mind will be if the bloke in front of you has a nice arse.
 

Until a court that has some actual authority over the military makes this ruling this lower court ruling is pointless. I would be like celebrating a court ruling in Afghanistan that mexican police couldn't hand out tickets to people speeding on Mexican highways, a court in Afghanistan has no jurisdiction in Mexico just like some lower court California has no jurisdiction on military matters.

I think your underestimating the amount of sex straight people can have.
