End of Don't ask, Don't tell

It's not as ignorant as claiming DADT didn't cause any problems for gays serving in the military.

Thousands of gays were forced to resign from the military since DADT was enacted.  Perhaps you should read up on it a little. 

It's not as if being gay reduces combat effectiveness, in any case. As an example, the Theban Sacred Band (an elite force in ancient Greece) were all homos. It was an entry requirement.

DADT didn't change anything, gays could serve before it if they weren't open about it.  all DADT did was say it was ok to serve as long as you weren't open about it, people had already been doing it.  so anyone who has resigned due to DADT have done so because they chose to out themselves.  maybe you should read up on it a little bit too.

Not just bigger, but it's more well equipped.

It's not really much compared to the American military. I don't mean that as an insult, but you have to look at the facts.

Yes, but consider that the Pacific Ocean is larger than the Atlantic.

comparing gays being able to serve openly to slavery or women's rights is pretty ignorant. 

I am glad they are repealing DADT, now we can start punishing them.  As soon as they admit they are homosexuals....automatic court martial.  DADT was there for their protection.  Now they don't have that protection.  Dumbasses.

UCMJ Article 125. Sodomy.

It is considered unnatural carnal copulation for a person to take into his or her mouth or anus the sexual organ of another person or of ananimal; or to place his or her sexual organ into the mouth or anus of another person or of an animal; orto have carnal copulation in any opening of the body, except the sexual parts, with another person

The bigots will be angry about this one.

Itt: people who aren't military taking about what you don't understand. Like any real soldier would want to share a foxhole or sleep in the same room as a homosexual.

I don't think that posting such a link is even necessary.  It's pretty much common sense that "gay person" != "guy who wants to rape you".  Those people who deny that are set in there bigoted ways, and logical arguments aren't going to change their minds.

Herp de derp, but the common argument I hear is that the soldiers will think "gay person" = "guy who wants to rape you", and that would result in a drop in morale. I feel that study is a valid disproof of that claim.

How does "I am gay" translate into "I just had butt sex with another soldier"?

Wardogg, admitting you are homosexual is not the same as admitting you took it up the ass.
