I have never seen so many homophobic people in my life. I know many gay men who have served, received a purple heart and did their job without anyone knowing that they where gay. So the knowledge of them stating it will make you nervous? Scared that someone is going to leer at you? Grow Up !!!! This I would kick his ass mentality is showing your true colors that you are afraid that you might be gay yourselves. How many gyms have you been to? Did you really fear that other men were looking at you? As for God and morals, your hired by the Govt to KILL how moral is that? Other countries have gays and lesbians working together in the military with no problem, why should you have a problem.

I am a retired Senior Chief Petty Officer. While serving I found dealing with the sordid morale reducing conduct of homosexual men aggressively seeking sex, the worst morale and potentially security issue facing our unit. For those who are and have not beem confronted with the sultry aggressive man trying to force sex upon him…no problem…but once they are subjected to it…Katy bar the door. I have seen sailors nearly killed others (gays) for trying to force them into to having sex.…it is a cardinal sin…and shame that military men who volunteer to serve the country are forced to deal with this kind of shameful and immoral behavior. Were the DADT policy repealed I guarantee that all h..l will break out in units across the military. Just wait and see.

Hey guess what, I’m gay and serve in the Coast Guard…and people on my cutter KNOW about it!! Do you know what else is interesting? I use the same showers as them, sleep in the same berthing with them (12 to a berthing), and eat, talk and work with them. They are accepting about this. According to all that Brass, this should not be happening. According to them, I am the problem for no unit cohesion. I do my job, that is all that matters. I rely on my shipmates when the sh*t hits the fan, and they rely on me. THAT is cohesion.

And thanks to the CRWG, the military is moving in the right direction, recently up-ing the rank it takes to authorize seperation under DADT. Now it is only Generals and Flag Officers.

I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

(had to split my comment) gays are serving wether you like it or not.
anyone whose served knows that your personal life is hard to keep seperate from your military life. espically with move to try and reduce DUI’s suicides and generally trying to make us safer. so imagine thinking about anything that could mark you as a HETERO-sexual and think about what if you had to think about/worry about anyone your serve with finding out. then think about the fact that any homo that serves(with half a brain) GOES INTO THE MILITARY knowing this.
oh and save your god speeches because there are god fearing churches who are accepting of homosexuals just like there ones who are not.

gays are in the military.
duh.
USMC i went to boot camp and i’m sure i showered with a lesbian. but the foucs was ELSEWERE. sorry dudes you might think you hot enough shit to have EVERY homo look at your but your probably wrong. yes you have gays who just like hetro’s cant take no for an answer and they should be delt with in the same manner.
but ponder this former, current, furture miltiary members. can you imagine not being able to tell anyone about you wife or husband. can you imagine not being able to put your spouse on any notifications lists? that they wont get the flag when you die, that instead of being the first to know they’ll be the last? can you imagine being fresh out of school and knwing you might live your whole time in the barracks in fear?(of being discovered) knowing at any point you could found out anything that could even imply your sexual orientation could get you kicked out with the same discharge as a DRUG POP!?

Naval service form DEC86-JAN06 and I know for a FACT that the "don’t-ask, don’t-tell" Policy SHOULD NOT be repealed. William C could not have been more correct and stright to the point when he stated, "If you or any gay isn’t capable of keeping their sex lives and “orientation” to themselves while serving, then their priorities need to be straightened out. If a gay can keep that aspect of his life, than he should be able to serve. Yeah some gays must have served in the past but they had the common decency to keep that to themselves and put their duty first like any other solider".Lets keep the morale intact as far as the "don't ask, don't tell" policy is concerned. If repealed the inevitable will occur and we will see far more conflicts, lawsuits, court martials, injurys and or even "friendly-fire" deaths in our military and on the battlefield. I respect others opinions about how they feel-that gays should be able to serve "openly as being gay", however, the same individuals need to respect REALITY and EXPERIENCE from the WAR FIGHTER that this Policy must remain in effect due to severe consequences in return to our military. I have been there and seen alot of it, especially on Aircraft Carriers--all "man-over-board" incidents WEREN'T accidental or caused by jet blast!Humble 1

The flaming homos believe everybody who doesn’t support what they want is a “homophobe”, and they proceed to go cry about it to the lawyers and leftists about it. Why would it be any different in the military? If you or any gay isn’t capable of keeping their sex lives and “orientation” to themselves while serving, then their priorities need to be straightened out. If a gay can keep that aspect of his life, than he should be able to serve. Yeah some gays must have served in the past but they had the common decency to keep that to themselves and put their duty first like any other solider.

Good argument for homophobics like you! Yes, I served openly gay in the 1990's in your Marine Corps, and you would be suprised just how many there are currently serving and many who are decorated Veterans and have given the ultimate sacrifice. My question to you is: Where is the research to back up up your statement that Marines extricate themselves from association of "Straight" Marines? Is this posted somewhere in black and white or in a periodical so I can look for myself what the statistics say about this issue! I highly doubt that is the case! Conscience or Not, Gay or Not, Bisexual or Not, Lesbian or Not, these very people you condemn still have your back and the back of their fellow "STRAIGHT" Marines! Don't hide behind the Bible or your fears of the real Truth because It's very quite obvious you know ultimately what the truth is, even if it's not in your favor! Semper Fidelis!

I’m a scientist, myself-college degrees don’t mean much to me.
A lot of PhD’s ought to have their heads examined, if they could remember where they left them.
I’ve also spent time in the USMC.
If guy needs daily estrogen over doses to feel comforatble with himself, I don’t him on my back door.
I don’t think you could either the Pope or Darwin on board with aMANda.

In the gym, the TV had this show with two men kissing and "Ilove you" and "Ilove"-one was cop and, of course, it was about a love triangle (30 minutes on teh treadmill, you understand)----ICHKKkK! If I had to serve with that, I'd find another job. Then, where is all your highly valued talent? Better hope you've got enough homosexuals to fil ALL the MOSs, because a lot of people WILL find it offensive. Every homosexual I've known is not "gay" at all-more issues than a magazine rack.

Gosh! Who would have thought that all these big, rugged macho warrior types would be so frightened by a few pansies? I wonder if they jump on the table and squeal like little girls when ever a gay person wanders by?

Sheesh…

Here’s what Military Men are saying:

“The Army is not a sociological laboratory; to be effective it must be organized and trained according to the principles which will insure success. Experiments to meet the wishes and demands of the champions of every race and creed for the solution of their problems are a danger to efficiency, discipline and morale and would result in ultimate defeat.”

That was said by Col. Eugene R. Householder, addressing a gathering of Negro Editors and Publishers the day after Pearl Harbor, to tell them that the Army couldn’t Integrate now. ( Source : Integration of the Armed Forces, 1940–1965 by Morris J. MacGregor, Jr. Published by the Center of Military History, United States Army. )

We’ve heard it all before.

As for Amanda Simpson — the real one, recently appointed to a security-critical position in the Commerce Department to make sure US Dual-Use Technology doesn’t make it into unfriendly hands:

“Simpson has more than 30 years of experience in the aerospace and defense industry, most recently serving as Deputy Director in Advanced Technology Development at Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona.
…
Simpson also holds degrees in physics, engineering and business administration along with an extensive flight background. She is a certified flight instructor and test pilot with 20 years of experience.”

You are crazy to think that gays have been accepted most looks away and dont say what they really think and for good reason just to keep from fights ‚accepted your kidding yourself most just wish you might start thinking clear and get off drugs or whatever gives one a feeling they want to be gay couse its not right. and will never accept some person who feels gay today straight the next day. wish all gays/lez would stop trying to push thier way into our world,stay in your fairytail and leave us alone in our real world.

served 20 years @ bratwife. I reckon I know a lot more than you about the infidelities, the winks and slaps on the back, the whole nine yards. Seen the ‘good christian’ husbands out like all the single men, mixing it up w/ the local women, while at home, the wives hit the clubs the night hubby got on the overseas bound planes or ships. I am aware of UCMJ and just like in civil law, it’s not always used with fairness. Like I said, if the military discharged everyone caught commiting adultry, there would be a huge loss of good people.

Well, of course. DADT is why we’re losing Afgahnistan, and if we ponder our crotches some, we’ll figure out how to win!

A brave, new world awaits the military:

War Crimes: 2025!
The US Army has charged the Peoples’ Republic POW Commandateur with failure to supply US POW transgender Private Amanda Simpson with “her” daily estrogen requirements, leading to facial hair, diminished busts, and dork growing our of “her” nose! Female POW threw her out of their barracks, but Amanda stalwertly refused to enter the male barracks.

“I am not comfortable around men,” she said.

Army MEDCOM demands Amanda’s release for medical reasons.

“At this point,” Army Surgeon General said, “recovery may not be complete, but at least, we can save a couple bra sizes get rid of the beard.”

Thank God there is a real man who sees the immediate danger of allowing openly gay people serve in the military of the United States. Thank You General Schwartz for your superior vision.

If a person loves this country and wants to serve in the Military then they will do everthing they have to do to serve in the military. If a person is gay, and they want to serve then let them, but they will not be able to engage in any homosexaul behavior. There are also straight people in the military that engage in alternative lifestyle behaviors. I have heard of wife swapping and extramarital affairs. All those things are violation of the uniform code of military justice. I believe in God, and I believe homosexuality is immoral and goes against what I believe to be right and true. There are many things wrong with the military at this point in history. The fighters have taken second fiddle to there in house civilian bosses. I work with Airmen all the time that aren’t getting the adequate training they need to do there jobs. The President really doesn’t care if Gays are let in the military. The was just a talking point to appease the gays who voted for him. He knows that it will get stonewalled. If you believe any of out leaders will actually dedicate time to this issue, then you are naive(extremely). Lets be realistic. Next.

There’s absolutely no data of scientific significance that supports your argument of “gays” being born gay as is the case with Black and Jewish Americans being born of their races. Stop mixing your p’s and q’s to state your biased opinion.

Concur! I know for a fact that Admiral Mullens never slept in a berthing compartment where the racks were three high and so close together that you could literally touch the person next to you when you rolled over in your sleep. Not too many sailors want a response to their unconcious behavior-but long cruises at sea and openly gay men possibly sleeping next to you can change all that.

Gen Schwartz has finally taken a position not in step with Sec Gates. What the heck is happening? How can that be? Can it be he sees the light at the end of the tunnel? OADS…I can’t wait for the “tanker decision.”
