You know, like the 9/11 terrorists. So what is to stop an enemy power from getting one of its citizens to infiltrate the military, then (in the middle of the showers or the barracks) proclaim himself gay and completely disable and dishearten our military? They could win a war without firing a shot! If the rationale for DADT were true, revealing it would be treason. I think the military is finally realizing that DADT really portrays them as a bunch of sissies who'd swoon if they knew a faggot was in the room. DADT has got to go, and the military has realized that the slander has to stop. You don’t have to be a citizen to be in the military; all you need is a green card. You know, like the 9/11 terrorists.

Especially the economy and healthcare reform. So if he is so busy with those things, how come he went to Copenhagen to vie for the 2016 Olympics? I'm pissed off that he claims that he's too busy doing this or that! Obama, I truly am disappointed in you. You will not get my vote for re-election, PERIOD.

In the Spartan and Theban militaries of ancient Greece, the principle was just the opposite of DADT. It was believed that sex amongst the soldiers (and the solders were encouraged into love affairs with each other) PROMOTED cohesion, and helped the soldiers to fight with vigor and valor. They believed that if all of the soldiers were lovers, they would work harder to defend each other, and be more willing to die rather than be disgraced in their lovers' eyes. So much for DADT.

There will be some who do. The main thing is you would no longer have to worry 24x7 about using the F word in the wrong context.

Obama basically told to shut up. My prediction is that DADT will have to be ended by a republican. Apparently the dems can't or won't end this. Sorry but wait until the new administration in 2013.

I want this thing repealed so very badly, but I also want our armed forces to continue to function in an efficient manner. While I don't think having queer individuals serving in the military are a threat to that I do think that the sudden change will cause turbulence, with most of the strife being the result of the culture created by DADT being in place. So I hope they begin aggressively crafting a plan to responsibly trash it. I’m glad to see the push for this coming more and more from military personnel.
