I don't believe that the Military should be able to discriminate on almost any basis for its recruitment |
Especially when 75% of American youth 17-24 are unable to join the military (because of health, criminal record, no high school, or other reason), and of those 25% that can join, 23% of those can not even pass placement exams to put them in any branch of the military.

That reason alone is one not to have denied gays entry... :wtf: :( |

um...the homosexuals are already fighting alongside straight people in the field. This bill isn't going to throw a bunch of new gays into a situation they aren't already involved in. |

Mixing political correctness and war together isn't the best idea. I prefer to leave the greatest weight of opinion on the matter to the people who's lives are actually on the line. Too bad our politicians don't ever consider doing the same. We've heard from every politician and politically correct social engineer on this issue, both of which are never going to face the working end of an anti-American AK-47, so maybe it's time to ask the troops on the ground what effect the repeal of DADT have on their units:

Who do you expect to fight? |

Overdue, obviously.
The idea that someone's sexual preference will affect his ability to fight in the military is BS.
However, homosexuals are still barred from the military under the UCMJ if I'm not mistaken. |
