Obama to End Military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Policy
Fox News ^ | Jan 14, 2009

Posted on Wednesday, January 14, 2009 5:30:07 PM by Recovering_Democrat

WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama will allow gays to serve openly in the military by overturning the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy that marred President Clinton's first days in office, according to incoming White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

The startling pronouncement, which could re-open a dormant battle in the culture wars and distract from other elements of Obama's agenda, came during a Gibbs exchange with members of the public who sent in questions that were answered on YouTube.

Hussein's rule will include not just tolerance but an embracing of deviant behavior.

and some conservatives sit down, eat with him, and wish him well.

The end of the Republic cannot be far away.


My favorites

"Mark my words, you will have instances of militant faggotry enlisting with the sole purpose of degrading the primary functions and esprit de corps of the United States Armed Forces. And an Obamanation-led Pentagon won't be able to lift a finger to stop it, even if they wanted to. Four years of Carter did enough damage to the military - can you imagine a full turn with The Magic Negro? Our standing army will be reduced to UN blue helmets who were trained to carve glory holes under combat conditions. "

"Of course this scumbag did not campaign with this issue out in the open, like an honest candidate — no, he waits until after the election to spring this on the public..... just watch, we will also “learn” at some point that he has reconsidered his (dishonest) opposition to “gay marriage” — suddenly we will find the Demagogues shoving “gay marriage” at us all over the place, even though most had pretended they do not support it.



more freeper madness

Obama is a comprehensive leftist, a true socialist ideologue who merely pretends to an occasional moderation to maintain his electoral “viability”...... he will push every leftist cause he thinks he can inflict upon us."

They figures us out

1. Gee...
   
Maybe if more Freepers signed up, we wouldn't need to recruit all of them Homo-SEX-yulls?

I'd wager that the percentage of former and currently serving persons on FR is orders of magnitude higher than on DU

10. Methinks the Freeper has some knowledge of glory holes...
   
not exactly a term in common use among, ya know, 'normal' guys. Interesting.

Now, on matters dealing with this type of nasty behaviour, DU is a veritable encyclopedia.

18. Their idea of "military service" likely involves
   
walking into an Army and Navy store to buy a compass.

Most of them probably couldn't get through basic training without pissing themselves and crying for their mommies every night.

Bunch of cowardly little shits.

That just has to be sarcasm. No possible way even even the deepest diving of DUmpster divers could be so blind as to ask THAT at DU.

It HAS to be or else I'm without words.

[djones520]

Didn't the military have an outright ban on Homosexuals before the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy?

[Rebel]

Yes, and they could ask. I enlisted during that time and there was a question on the enlistment papers about it.

[djones520]

Got it.

Well, I've said it before.  I don't think I'd have a problem serving in an "open" military.  The flaming homosexual San Fran parade types will never serve anyways, and even the few who would try would quickly get drummed out on sexual harrasment cases.  For those who do keep their bedroom lives in the bedroom, I've got no problem serving with.

I know that there are a lot out there that aren't as open minded as I am, and that'll be problematic, but oh well.  The CinC orders it, it's something we gotta live with.

...and open bays and showers? What do we do about those? How about permanent party enlisted barracks where there are two to a room?

This is what's going to happen:

1) Our military will be demoralized

2) Enlistments rates will drop

3) A shitload of money will be spent to accommodate these new recruits

...but hey, in the name of fairness, what's a little less national defense?

[djones520]

Open bay barracks are very quickly becoming a thing of the past Reb.  Only place that I know of it anymore is Basic Training, which may be problematic, but that hurdle will be jumped when and if this actually happens.  The Army is dumping a shitload of cash onto improving quality of life for it's troops.

As for permanent party barracks with two people?  Well I guess they'll just have to shack the gays up with each other.  Not much of a problem there.

As for the rest of your concerns, didn't they say that with integration of blacks? 

I'm sorry Reb, if some hick can't get over the idea that the military is allowing gays to serve, then I'm fine with him leaving.  I'm willing to wager that the majority will treat it as is becoming of a member of the United States Military.

I was in an open barrack at PLDC and my first AIT.

So, you see no problem putting a male and a female in the same room? It's the same thing.

Oh FFS, don't try to equate the two. That statement could have very well came directly from the DUmp.

Hick? Most guys in the military are masculine guys. You want all of'em to get out? Well, isn't that my point? You act as if it's an anomaly that military men don't want to serve with gays in the open. If it's such a f'n anomaly, why did Prop 8 pass in California, of all places?

[BlueStateSaint]

As long as both were gays . . .

[Zeus]

Look at the problems homosexuality causes in society in general. Then some folks think it won't be a problem in the military. Social engerneering should never be fousted on the military,especially at times like the present.

No he won't.

Nay nay, moose-breath.

How often do you deploy again?

Also, you might want to re-read Article 134.  Something about "prejudicial to good order and discipline", something like that.  And finally, there's that whole health issue.

Sorry, the risk ain't worth the rewards in this case.

[jukin]

My spidey sense tells me that there are going to be two orders of magnitude more lawsuits for discrimination in the military.

And for us that were /are in the Navy.............my god DJ you have no idea what it would be like in the Sea going service.........hot rack with a fag......SEE YA!!!!!

DJ, I don't think you're quite thinking this through.  What you will actually wind up with is a militantly (excuse the pun) pro-gay everything military.  This will occur if gays are allowed to openly serve.

Remember the officer corp.  They will backbite and backstab where they won't lie about each other to get their promotions.  It isn't enough that an officer couldn't give a hoot who serves in his unit as long as they do their job, no he has to enthusiastically support "diversity".  It isn't enough that an officer accepts that women serving in roles that would be better filled by men, he has to enthusiastically support it.  If he doesn't show enough enthusiasm then he will not pass O-3 or O-4.

What will happen when gays are allowed then to serve openly?  Why, not only should gays be allowed to serve, they make great soldiers.  If the army recognizes straight soldiers marriages then it has to acknowledge the relationships of gays.  Adoption, well married straight soldiers are allowed to adopt, the army can't possibly discriminate and say gays can't.  If a prospective officer isn't able to make himsef believe this, then no matter how competent he is, his career is doomed.

You say oh well if a guy wants to leave because of gays being allowed.  No, they don't want gay propaganda shoved down their throats and that is exactly what is going to happen when gays are allowed to serve.  Notice my change in tone.  It will happen and it will undo our military when it does.  We won't deserve to survive after that, and we won't. 

I see what is coming, and I made a decision with my young children.  My uniform is put away, they will not know I served as it might encourage them down that path.  I will direct them as much as I can towards career pursuits that don't involve the military and what it will have become when they are old enough.

Well, aren't we tolerant! And nice to know that my son and his buddies are hicks. If you can't trust a guy in the shower when you drop the soap how the hell are you going to trust him in the foxhole? There are plenty of places in society for social experiments but the military isn't one of them. We have the finest military in the world. A large part of that is due to trust and morale, a sense of brotherhood where one Marine would fall on a grenade with no thought to his own life to save his brothers. Kind of hard to have that sense of kinship and trust if you keep wondering whether your brother wants to cornhole you. These boots on the ground are young men full of bravado and testosterone and frankly, I don't want a warrior who doesn't think he's part Chesty Puller. These young guys would simply be too uncomfortable with Handjob Hank and Benny Blowjob on either side of them. If that makes it a Corps full of hicks, so be it.

You're good.  H5.

[Airwolf]

It doesn't matter what I think as for if the ydo this or not.The big zero will do it anyway. The problem is when they start hitting on the straights and don't tell me that some of them won't do it because I know it has happened before in my old unit in the 101st and then a while back there was the case of some ass killing another troop there just because he thought he was gay.

Sorry, Cindie, but the military has long been used for social experiments. Truman (integration of the services); Carter (women in service academies and in the military proper); and Slick Willie (DADT) are but three examples.

Women should have the opportunity to attend a service academy.   My nephew attends one (my husband graduated from one also).   I visited him a few months back to attend his football game.   The cadets conduct drills etc. on the field prior to the games.   The women did just fine out there.   

If they can handle it, they should be able to do it.
