    Senate Repeals Don't Ask, Don't Tell

    By a vote of 65 to 31 this afternoon, the Senate voted to repeal the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.


    Now, if they can get their shit together and pass the Zadroga Bill this lame duck session won't seem so lame.

        Hey, we can't wait until you leave the country


        Also, I think many people missed this part, which is very crucial.

        Under the bill, the president and his top military advisers must first certify that lifting the ban won't hurt troops' ability to fight. After that, the military would undergo a 60-day wait period.

              Good. Saying, "hey, you can fight & die for your country, but shhh... don't dare tell anyone you're gay or we'll fire you", is pretty disrespectful, to say the least.

              Yeah, now that the media is on it finally, I'm sure it'll be passed quite shortly.

                if people hate gays so much you'd think they'd be okay sending them to the front lines to get shot at

                    Sweet... Another small step forward for America. With so many gays already fighting and dying for our Country - it will go all the way through without much of an issue, as promised.

                      They didn't have DADT when I was in, if they thought you were gay, they shipped you out. My daughter just got out of the Navy and she believes that it's going to have lots of problems. I'm for lifting the ban on gays serving, but I know there will be problems.
                      Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                      think about that

                          Yeah, just like there were problems when blacks were first allowed to serve. Don't worry, in time everyone will get over it, and it'll become a norm, which is how it should be.

                              It is about fucking time......

                              Now those pussies that avoided military service (the draft) by pretending to be gay won't be able to get away with it again.

                                Not true. They can be flamboyantly gay in which case they'll get thrown out.. Remember, Obama and his people have to prove that allowing this policy WONT affect units, their morale, and their fighting abilities. It's not just going to get signed..

                                  I'm sure that in the event of another war, by the time the Draft is reinstated, the gov't won't care how fabulous you look in OD Green.

                                          You've greatly underestimated the amerikkkan love of the ~(( noble american soldier ))~ and its extreme hatred of faggots.

                                            Draft, not in our lifetime? It was in mine, my father's and my grandfather's lifetimes.

                                            I wouldn't be so sure we won't see it again if gov't feels it is needed.

                                            Let's see what happens eventually with Border Security problems.

                                              They integrated blacks in the military by having them serve in black only groups, you want to tell gays they will be in gay only groups?

                                              there was a draft when I was a kid, but not since, never say never.
                                              Would love to see the border of the US get the same treatment as the border of Afghanistan
                                              Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                              think about that

                                                Why would they reinstate the draft. It's easier to bankrupt the middle class and leave the poor the choice to serve since their won't be any other jobs anyway.

                                                  The weaking effect you describe will have minimal impact at best. The military-industrial complex is far too large and powerful to let a couple of fags get in the way.

Even when I got my 4f, or whatever they called it back then, I was told that unless there was WWIII there was no chance of me being called.

My daughter just got out of the Navy and she believes that it's going to have lots of problems. I'm for lifting the ban on gays serving, but I know there will be problems.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

                                                                                            with all the problems in the world this takes headline? how is it even open for discussion?

                                                                                            somehow peoples sexual preference is going to change anything? it is ming boggling.

                                                                                            there is no point in discussing this with people. eventually the generation of idiots will die off and hopefully we can move towards openness and understanding.

                                                                                            if you really think the "enemy" gives a fuck about who is taking it in the ass or who is licking whos box you are indeed insane.

                                                                                            hum maybe stop killing innocent women and children (either side) and see what happens.

                                                                                            but nope we gotta discuss about gays. LOL i had to check the date and make sure we arent in the stone ages.

We have kept in contact for 30 years. My daughter is better than that and you trying to make this about her truly shows what a low piece of shit you are. I said they should be allowed to serve, I don't know where your ignorance got that I'm a homophobe.
                                                                                                  By your own statement, 75% of those surveyed said they were ok with gays serving openly, guess you are quick to dismiss the other 25% of them, on an aircraft carrier thats about 1000 crewmen that don't like it, if you don't think that might be a problem, you're a moron!!!!
                                                                                                  Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
