Up-Dating DADT vs. "Purifying" The U.S. Military

[Mr. Shaman]

How ironic it's (primarily) Chickenhawks who want to deep-six competent COMBAT-VETS.​

The continued persecution of gays in the military is just dumb policy.

"Lieutenant Colonel Victor J. Fehrenbach, a fighter weapons systems officer, has been flying the F-15E Strike Eagle since 1998. He has flown numerous missions against Taliban and al-Qaida targets, including the longest combat mission in his squadron's history. On that infamous September 11, 2001, Lt. Col. Fehrenbach was handpicked to fly sorties above the nation's capital. Later he flew combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has received at least 30 awards and decorations including nine air medals, one of them for heroism, as well as campaign medals for Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. He is now a flight instructor in Idaho, where he has passed on his skills to more than 300 future Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force weapons systems officers.

Since 1987, when Fehrenbach entered Notre Dame on a full Air Force ROTC scholarship, the government has invested twenty-five million dollars in training and equipping him to serve his country, which he has done with what anyone would agree was great distinction. He comes from a military family. His father was a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, his mother an Air Force nurse and captain. Lt. Col. Fehrenbach has honored that tradition.

And the Air Force is about to discharge this guy, a virtual poster boy for Air Force recruiting, because he is gay?"

You'd think the military would want all the volunteers and recruits it could get, so long as they were physically and psychologically able to serve.

....Especially when you consider the Alternative.

You left wingers took it a big step further. Your iconic Supreme Court justice wants to cleanse the American popluation of "unwanted persons" through death.

Ruth Ginsburg makes controversial comments on Roe

Please defend. I thought eugenics and the extermination of unwanted persons was defeated in WW2.

Guess not, the left wing is slowly bringing the idea back up.

My guess would be they don't like what liberal Bill Clinton did with Don't Ask Don't Tell, which liberal SC justice Sotomayor helped draft.

BTW, for all the bitching the left is doing, they ignored today's story in the newspaper about the REPUBLICAN gay rights group Log Cabin Republicans that filed a lawsuit against the military on behalf of discharged vets.

Democrat policy discrimninating against gays, Republican group suing = left wingers blaming right wingers.

Yep. Left wing logic at it's best!

Take the "gay" element out of the story and Maddow wouldn't waste two seconds on it, nor would Sheman.

Next.

Sheman brings a whole new meaning to the term "dim bulb".

Next.

I saw the segment on MSNBC Maddow did in Afghanistan where she interviewed the Army commander in charge of the entire Afghan police training units. It was a female commander and the piece was about Afghan female police recruits.

When that female Army commander came out in full duty gear and approached Maddow, I thought Maddow was going to have a breakdown and just start groping the Cmdr.

I just can't understand, however, why MSNBC, the iconic liberal station of no-ratings who preaches diversity, has ALL WHITE MALES for it's hosts!?!?! Dylan Rattigan, Joe Scarborough, Ed Shultz, Chris Matthews, Keith Olberdork, Rachael Maddow.........I mean wheres the diversity guys?? All white men!!

Again, how are gays persecuted in the military? What you are describing is, at best, the military excluding gays, which might be discrimination. It is not persecution.

....And, that'd be different from the 'Baggers efforts to eliminate unemployment-insurance/health-care-for-all, HOW???????
