Why can other countries allow homosexual soldiers in their ranks without everything falling apart but not the U.S.? I don't believe it. I think our armed forces are the best in the world. If Great Britain, and Israel can do it, I don't think it should be impossible for the U.S. to do it. http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/8-29-2005-75698.asp http://www.palmcenter.org/press/dad...do_not_undermine_israeli_military_performance Do people want to really say that the U.S. isn't capable of being as open and less discriminatory than these other nations?
Thanks I tried to search using don't ask don't tell, but it wouldn't use the terms ask and tell in the search, so I couldn't find anything. But also I wanted to focus on why the U.S. armed forces supposedly can't do what other nations are already doing successfully. That thread deals mostly with the shortage in recruitment. Or at least it was started that way.
^lol, are you trying to state that he shouldn't have started a new thread because somebody did one two months ago?
That, and the fact that the exact question was asked in that thread, so he could revisit what people had already weighed in on the subject. Are you saying I shouldn't have linked a thread that has other people's thoughts on the question? Lol, indeed, numbskull.
No it's just amusing to see you run in here all of a sudden and become hyper-aggressive threadpatrolman. Good job officer.
Elaborate. This makes no sense. I'm probably one of the few Republicans that hasn't had a big problem so far with Obama. But some of you have to be angry about something, so you start these new threads. Y'all won the election. Quit b****ing already.
It is the height of stupidity that we will dismiss otherwise qualified individuals from SERVING THEIR COUNTRY VOLUNTARILY, especially during a time of war. It is INCREDIBLY stupid (put a massive spire on top of the "height of stupidity) that we would have dismissed Arabic linguists at a time when we were involved in a conflict in the part of the world where Arabic is so common. Bigotry, plain and simple.
Is it OK then for the Republican critics of Obama to start tons of threads many of which touch on the same subject?
I think we should all give Fatty a collective hug and make sure to remind him that he's still fabulous.
What are the problems with those nations militaries? Whatever you have against those nations military outfits it isn't because they allowed homosexuals to serve openly.
i don't know whether it's the "republican" angle you're referring to, or "critics of obama", but i sense you're talking about me... ...NTTAWWT... I'm here, we need queers- get used to it.
