Don't Ask, Don't Tell is officially history!!

I'd call it supporting the "pissed off" theory instead.

It is weak minded to let emotion rule your actions.

In that case, every human who has ever existed is weak-minded. Including heterosexual infantrymen.

No one can simply delineate emotion from actions. Not even you.

From an article on the subject:

Nearly 60 percent of those in Marine Corps and Army combat units, such as infantry and special operations, said in the survey they thought repealing the law would hurt their units' ability to fight.

---However the very next sentence---

Gates and Mullen noted that 92 percent of troops in the survey who believed they had served with a gay person said they never saw an impact on their units' morale or effectiveness.

Do you know who Bradley Manning is?

So do you think DADT caused a soldier to get torqued and made him retaliate by leaking some stuff that's hurtful to our military ops?

We couldn't trust poltitcal partisans of any kind in the military on that kind of reasoning.

I'd say this case proves why we need all our citizens to be protected in their basic human rights, and even while in military service. We need to know what's being done on our dime, and in our name, by our military forces. And if we kept our military focused on the constitutional job of defending our liberty, and the freedoms of mankind in general while engaged in defending our nation's direct independence and security, as opposed to playing world policeman for the cartel interests of international corporates. . . . . we wouldn't need to be murdering ordinary folks all over the world and excusing it as "collateral damage".

So here's why Americans should never put up with policies like DADT in the first place. If Asked, Don't Tell is a basic human right to privacy.

Kind of funny that the impeached president who lied when asked was the one who instituted the policy.

It appears that way. He claims he was in an "awkward place."

That's another thing. All these anti-war people are clamoring for homosexuals to be openly gay in the military that they hate. Is it just another way to undermine our military.

Those who claim to be promoting the fundamental human rights of GLBT folks are often more focused on imposing a formulaic restriction on human rights in general. "Progressives" who want to force an ideal for "change" on others. And political footsoldiers for causes they believe must be pushed on others will frequently lie to promote their cause.

If that's their purpose, they may just be stupid or something. Just treating everyone with the same desire to preserve our nation or Constitution or human liberties alike will strengthen our military.

I agree it seems ironic that this issue is being pushed just like Marx said it should be to bring about the proletarian revolution. But Marx was just a puppeteer's hack, paid to write his supposedly pro-littleguy revolutionary drivel by wealthy elitists who just wanted to co-opt the American revolution in a way they could control.

So of course, the current elitists interested in manipulating the world's people are pursuing their cause in a way that will in fact undermine fundamental human rights.

The principles of the American revolution are the principles that will lead us to more freedom, more human respect, more human rights.

I can't really check on an article you failed to link but doesn't the second quote support the notion that the DADT policy is working?...that merely suspecting someone is homosexual doesn't do any damage, but if the homosexual was open about it then it would cause harm?

I don't see what right is being violated with the DADT policy to begin with. Unless flaunting your sexuality is somehow a basic human right?

Heterosexual people constantly flaunt their sexuality. Why should gay people have to hide who they are? With DADT, a gay person was not able to talk about their partner they left back home. If they did, they risked being outed and kicked out.

Is every human weak minded enough to betray their country?
