If sexual orientation is protected from discrimination, then why doesn't it extend to our military?


Does anyone know?

If one chooses to be thrilled with what other nations do, and constantly berating this country, then seriously, why not leave and set up residence in one of these other 'fine' countries?

Yeah, are grandfathers didn't sign up to serve with blacks or women. If our military doesn't care about serving with gays. Why do you?

As for the 'why not leave', I'm probably older than you. I have ancestors that were persecuted, one directly put to death 317 years ago. I have deep roots here.


I believe in this nation, but I believe in this nation in apparently a far different configuration, with far different ideals, assuming a far different place in this world.


I choose to be here to make it happen, to pull it away from those who thought slavery acceptable, genocide the way to go, and torture how we protect ourselves.

I haven't read ahead so I'm sure someone else has already addressed this but I just have to ask, really? You really think that the military will never allow openly gay soldiers to serve? If I were a gambler, there's no way I'd take that bet. Think about it... a majority of people under the age of 30 think that DADT should be repealed. What age group do you think are
