I hope you are right that people will just accept this change and move on, but I kinda doubt it.

Within a year after the election--if Perry doesn't win---opponents will accept it and act like it was never a big deal to them in the first place. Most tragically, they'll forget any lessions learned (or that at least should've been learned) while blithely forcasting the downfall of civilization over the next battleground like DOMA or adding sexual orientation to the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Did they not allow the "Parry" fellow in before?

Over here soldiers may plug each others' buttocks as much as they please, but most of the time they are too busy enacting wonderful right-wing coups. Smiley

An eager serviceman said:

"I think I'll probably send out a bulk e-mail to get my telling over with all at once. That way, I can free up most of my time for asking. Man, this is gonna be great. I'm totally asking the colonel."

That one isn't coming. DADT will come back as soon as Obama is removed and the Tea Party wins control of the senate.

And how is a bong relevant to this discussion? If you think I need to smoke weed you would be sadly mistaken. It's you who needs the wine of Jesus to take you over.

The implication is that your conceit that ever again at any point in time this country will see fit to force people into completely soul-destroying situations on account of their orientation on top of everything else a soldier has to go through indicates thought patterns similar to those of habitual drug users.

A very brave video of a formerly anonymous gay soldier coming out to his dad.

Ah, whatever the motivations behind the repeal and its timing, it's good that sexual orientation is no longer a potential disqualifier for would-be recruits.  

Funny how a 40% approval rating and an upcoming re-election fight will make a president remember to start keeping his campaign promises.

The homosexuality is the soul destroying situation. The leadership and the rank and file solider do not want this forced upon them by baseless bureaucrats and support outright bans. The conceit is on part of radical GLBT activists and you social progressive authoritarians. It's unjust that gays can serve in the military yet the baby in the womb is not secure in their sacred right to life.
