Redress is not gay

While we are at war, the military is more than happy to let gays serve semi openly, as long as they don't make it into a big publicity thing or get any complaints.
DADT is a policy that can only truly be enforced during peacetime, and its unfortunate that it will be enforced on many of the gay service men and women who gave much in these two wars.
Redress is not gay
The folks that have actually served in the miltiary are just a buncha homophobes and racists.

We do have at least 2 veteran's who are gay who post on this board though. I just am not one of them. Interestingly, they both are conservatives, and both favor removing DADT. Based on their experiences they seem to feel that the military is ready for gays to serve openly. Take that for what it is worth.
And an Active Duty Marine of 18+ years who grew up looking down on homosexuals that believes DADT is a dinosaur of a policy. Even the military as a whole recognizes that changes are about to occur.
Some basic facts:
1) DADT is not going to last much longer. Either congress or the courts will remove it.
2) If congress does not get rid of it, SCOTUS is almost certain to, with the 4 liberal judges joined by at least 1 of the conservatives(you know who I am talking about).
3) The military does not get a say in whether the policy goes away or not. The military does not, and should not, make that type of decision.
4) The vast majority of young adults in this country(you know, the ones who actually might enlist in the military) support gays serving openly.
5) The only argument against gays serving openly is that it might be a challenge for a few months adjusting.
6) Almost no on in this thread has read the actual court ruling that this thread is about, which is just sad. Talking from ignorance is foolish.
I was talking about the folks who disagree with the Libbos, we're all racists and homophobes.
Well you certainly are a homophobe.
aspdt, you are still claiming that a federal court has no jurisdiction over federal law? Really? You have anything at all, anything to back that up?
An appeals court has no jurisdiction over military regulation, I said. Please, try and keep up.
DADT is federal law. You did not know that?
You aren't going off of anything other than a self induced idea of things.
It's a simple matter of common sense.
The folks that have actually served in the miltiary are just a buncha homophobes and racists.
No.
Just the homophobes and racists.
By all means, however, continue to mischaracterize everything I say, it's obvious you're not interested in the truth.
The military's ban on gays, isn't. Good luck with that, when your judicial activists abolish DADT.
It's also seems pretty clear that you are personally conflicted a bit on this issue as well. That speaks volumes about the policy and how badly outdated it is.
That's certainly original. Even after I've stated that the gay ban should be lifted. You're a ****ing genius!!
How wrong I was to support DADT. Homosexuals have every right to have the honor of being soldiers. Their partners should be kept secret, nor should we dishonor them by banning them from military functions as a couple. The army isn't about proclaiming your sexuality, nor is it about repressing it. It's about protecting America. Homosexuals deserve that honor, and it's a grave disservice to the men and women of our military who happen to be homosexuals. Repeal DADT now.
Well you certainly are a homophobe.
