EVERYONE WHO JOINS THE MILITARY GIVES UP there rights in there contract, PART OF WHICH is vocally saying your gay. (why? not because of some prejudice but because of YOUR GOD DAMN TAX DOLLARS! ... do you want pay 5 dollars more just to make sure homosexual MALEs and FEMALEs have there one barrackes to sleep in because they can vocally announce that they are gay and think so and so in your unit is sexy????? FUCK NO!)
with the new law, (and im almost positive we will be having a mass turnout with recruits after this) would EVEN A HOMOSEXUAL VETERAN want another homosexual who is only joining because he can VOICE a GAY opinion now, in the military... that is the WRONG IDEA entirely. that isnt even the JIST of the issue the rest of the military has.. but looking at a libral point of view...i guess it is.
take some military history or ask a fucking veteran wht he thinks... THEN reply
i have nothing against gays.. personally.. but me being a soldier and knowing that others may be affected by this.. AFFECTS ME and MY performance when the OTHER component dosnt work because of its NEW enviorment.
Congress approved a military-defense spending budget of $1.121 trillion for this coming year (http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL33110.pdf). I was never under the impression that the USA cuts its military budget so that a single demographic can be singled out and restrained. Also, I don't watch CNN. What I do watch are congressional reports, as well as the statistics coming out of the courts as DADT is passed along.
If soldiers are allowed to be openly "straight" in the military, then homosexuals should be allowed to be openly "gay" in the military. It's truly as simple as that. As of now, simply coming out of the closet as gay will get you a Court-martial. Since 1994, over 13,000 of our soldiers have been discharged from the military as a result of this. They joined to protect their country, and they were discharged because the country for which they were ready to die didn't like their sexual orientation. That sounds like discrimination to me.
On separate note, now that DADT has been repealed, I bet either Agnostic/Atheists or Illegal Immigrants will be the next groups to be discriminated against. I mean, it's not like Agnostics or Atheists already cannot run for office in eight states (AR, MD, MA, NC, PA, SC, TN & TX), or that people who responded on the day of the 9/11 attacks who weren't citizens are denied the health coverage offered to other first-responders.
Truly, I'm not even sure why I am forced to pay taxes to entities which force discrimination against specific demographics. In addition- who says the government will raise our taxes to make up for lack of discrimination when we've not raised taxes since the 90's, and have tacked on a global (let me repeat that for emphasis- GLOBAL) war on terror. What on earth is Terror? We declared war on an idea? What?
In any case- I digress: I feel as though the repeal of DADT was a good thing.
