Military Quote of the Day
"When I joined the military it was illegal
to be homosexual, then it became optional.
I'm getting out before Obama makes it mandatory."

My Marine friends say they've served with homosexuals that everyone knew about, and nobody had a problem with it. They insist it's just the old fogeys in the brass who are so desperate to hide from the gays.
It's disappointing seeing these examples to the contrary trumpeted so loudly.
@ Valeyard
Ditto. Every military friend I have has said the same thing. They all served with fellow soldiers who were gay, and its wasn't a problem. When the bullets start flying meaningless stuff like that just doesn't matter.
“I'm getting out before Obama makes it mandatory."
Good riddance
Revolting. Why anyone wishes to revel in homophobia raises the question about what *closet* you're hiding in.
I, too, have spoken with numerous military personnel while flying, and, one & all, they have claimed that they have absolutely no problem with gays in the military, that it's no big deal to them, and that they would love to see this rampant homophobia buried along with the execrable DADT law.
Grow up & get a clue.
As far as I can tell, Obama has run fast and hard AWAY from pushing for DADT to be repealed, which is a huge disappointment for me. Note the rightwing false propoganda here that it's all about that dreaded "kenyan liberal" in the white house.
In fact, Obama has been a wuss about repealing DADT, if you ask me. More conservative propoganda pumped out by Koch brother-funded think tanks pandering to the lowest common denominator.
You'd think that someone who signs his rank as "GYSGT" would be a little more open.

If you ever in the armed services, you would know this.
Anon, this is Joke-1, requesting permission for a flyover of your head.
