Did people ask and tell before the rule came about? Most branches have the same [url="http://www.predatorbdu.com/products/ACU-Coat-Army-Combat-Uniform-50-50-Nylon-Cotton-Ripstop-Mil-Spec-F5459.html"]Military Uniform[/url] for men and woman. Anyone from the military have issues in their unit with fellow soldiers?
Before the rule came about, gays weren't allowed to serve at all.
With don't ask, don't tell gays [i]technically[/i] can't serve. They're serving with a secret so to speak, amirite?
Well seeing as you're being dismissed if you're gay the rule is exactly the same.
How does being gay affect your fighting performance? Is it thought that gays will romance with each other causing a distraction on the battlefield? They have Men and Women serving, surely that doesn't cause distractable romance?

Yay

[QUOTE=Left4Meds;25365041]gay soldirs have sex on the battlfield thats why[/QUOTE] Straight soldiers having intercourse in the midst of battle is perfectly acceptable, though.

Didn't Obama speak about trying to get gays to serve openly in the military? Where's the progress on that? Eisenhauer got the military desegregated with just an executive order, and with the president as the Commander in Chief, this should be under his ruling.

It really is ridiculous. In a battlefield situation, I highly doubt that the sexuality of your fellow servicemen is going to be on top of your list of priorities.

NOW'S NOT THE TIME WE'RE UNDER FUCKING ATTACK. But he's....gay.

Wow, we were just talking about this in Contemporary Issues class and I said it should be repealed. So they finally listened to me... :smug:
I think it's disgusting to discharge someone over something which isn't anyone's business but their own. No self respecting person goes around trying to fuck everyone they can, so why would a homosexual? No excuses really, just more redneck homophobia.
Being intolerant to gays is fucking retarded.

If he issues an executive order, and Republicans win control of Congress, it will be surely on their list of repeals.
Romans, if I remember right, had gay soldiers. You fight better for your lover instead of your friend. :v:
[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;25365156]It's pretty much that, plus Clinton was afraid it would "drag down morale" or something.[/QUOTE] No, Clinton did it because it was the closest he could come to allowing Gays in the military. He couldn't, at the time, reasonably expect to pass a bill which totally allowed it. Don't Ask Don't Tell was actually a compromise policy intended to help homosexuals.
[QUOTE=Doom14;25366035]Romans, if I remember right, had gay soldiers. You fight better for your lover instead of your friend. :v:[/QUOTE] Romans built fucking bathhouses and had massive gay orgies. Their choice though, nothing wrong with that.
I don't know why they can't just continue to keep it a secret.
[QUOTE=Bllasae;25367287]I don't know why they can't just continue to keep it a secret.[/QUOTE] Why should straight guys be allowed to talk all they want about how awesome a girl's tits are but a gay guy can't even acknowledge the fact he likes men and gets fucking discharged for doing so?
[QUOTE=Coffee;25364973]How does being gay affect your fighting performance? Is it thought that gays will romance with each other causing a distraction on the battlefield?

So no, they aren't a distraction because men and women don't actually fight together.
My first roommate in AIT was flamboyantly homosexual. And vain, too. He was a big, vain, gay guy. He always looked at himself in the mirror and rubbed his pecs and shit. He'd work himself up for twenty or thirty minutes, rubbing himself and saying shit like, "Aw yeah, I'm pumped, brother! I'm lookin' fiiiine! Look at these swells I'm rockin', I am just [i]delicious[/i]!" When he got especially annoying with that crap, I'd say something like, "Yeah, but you still got a poogy-ass stomach." He would stop talking, stare at himself in the mirror for a minute or so while he poked and squeezed his stomach, then he'd go lay down in his bed and stare at the wall for a long time. [b]edit[/b] I'm not saying he was gay because he'd rub himself and coo in the mirror, I'm saying he was gay because he was really, obviously, outwardly gay. He just couldn't admit it.
