Wow. My brain can't cope with this kind of psychosis that plagues some of these people. The outburst in the crowd is absolutely absurd and incredibly sad on a level that I once thought was unimaginable. It's amazing how the beliefs of people like that have shown America the most degenerative politics it has ever seen. Who cares if they're gay or straight? They're fighting for your freedom! Booing soldiers is un-American, and that is not up for discussion. It is also very appalling yet unsurprising that none of these potential nominees said anything about it when it happened. You want to be president and yet you don't stand up for one of the soldiers who you hope to command some day. I'll vote for Shmucky the Clown before I vote for any of them.
As for Santorum's answer, he is right that sexual activity has no place in the military. What he is wrong on is that it doesn't give gays a special privilege. A heterosexual man in the military can say he loves women without fear of being discharged. If a gay man said he loved men he would be discharged under DADT. It's not a special privilege, or a privilege at all. I also agree that social policy does not belong in the military either. It was simply the introduction of DADT that started this whole debate in the first place. If it was never put in place, this would have never been an issue. DADT put social policy in the military, and I'm confused on why Santorum didn't oppose it based on what he said about keeping social policy out.
