I have stayed away from this topic in deference to gay friends (I'm quite straight and that's no s_ _t) and the fact that I served Honorably in the greatest fighting force ever fielded, The US Army, allows me to comment objectively from a soldiers standpoint.
It's the endless propagandizing and attempts at homogenization of our population and the pussification of all men regardless of race/creed/color by the parasitic Socialists that have managed to infect our government (although many are on the launch pad in January and I hope many more in 2012 along with Prez you know who) is what is really compelling me to comment on this icky poo issue we are being faced with.
If you have ever read any of my blogs you might think I'm against gays or Homosexuals as I choose to call them, being allowed to serve and if you do think I am you're dead wrong. I am all for them serving in the military, but, they should serve as they always have and the 'don't ask don't tell' policy should be made permanent. Having served in the military with people who were rumored to be homosexuals never had any bearing on my attitude toward them. I never gave a second thought to going into battle with one and would not have hesitated to put myself in harms way to protect them, simply put, they were soldiers and we were comrades in arms. Anyone who is of the opinion that gays are not capable of serving in or should be excluded from service in the military is an idiot. The fact is, gays have been serving honorably in our military services for as long as we have had the services.
My take on this whole thing is this, the military is not where you walk around proclaiming your gayness or gay pride, that's for the various parades where gays and lesbians make fools of themselves each year around the country by providing what they think is outrageous entertainment for the straight people that line the streets to observe thousands of of horribly insecure people trying to convince themselves and anyone who will listen that they are proud of their lot.
I say, if you want to serve, serve for the right purpose and the right reasons. The military is not now and never will be a bully pulpit for proclaiming you sexual preference, it is there to protect us from our enemies, service in the military is an honor and should be treated as such. Letting homosexuals serve openly in the military, I feel, will bring out the worst element imaginable. I can just guess how many militants are waiting in the wings to subvert the various services with their inane lawsuits claiming mistreatment, discrimination and hate crimes.
The heads of the various branches of the services are right, now is not the time to address this and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mullen and Secretary of Defense Gates are all wrong on this one.
In other words, serve, do your time like everyone else and always look back on your time in the military with great pride and a sense of honor.
