Don't Ask, Don't Tell is the Only Reasonable Choice for the U.S. Military
Gay Activists Will Not Stop Their Demands Once DADT is Repealed, Instead, They Will Insist on the Most Bizarre Accommodations
If DADT is repealed, where will the admittedly gay men sleep and shower? With the men, with the women, with other gay men or with other gay men and gay women?
How about the bisexuals? What arrangements should be made for them?
Do you think that the straight men and women should sleep in the same barracks and share the same showers?
What about the transgendered men? Will they be wearing woman's uniforms or would they be forced to deny their gender preference and wear men's clothing? After all, LGBT stands for" Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered".
Should women serve in combat situations alongside men? Should transgendered women, who identify as men, serve in combat situations with men? Should transgendered men, who identify as women, be excused from combat situations?
This whole thing about "gender preferences" raises many questions. It gets very weird when you allow people to declare their own gender independent of their physiology. Yet that is exactly what the LGBT crowd is demanding.
What if a straight man or woman decides that they are now bi-sexual or gay after experimenting and hooking up. What if a straight man suddenly decides that he is really a woman trapped in a man's body. Should they be allowed to change their dress, sleeping and showering arrangements? Should a woman who claims to be trapped in a man's body be allowed to go swimming without a swim top? Should the entire military change over to "uni-sex" uniforms? Should men be required to wear swim tops to keep things equal?
You see, it's not so simple. The military needs to figure out rules for all circumstances. Rules are important for discipline and unit cohesion. This is why the military chiefs need some time to sort things out before repealing DADT.
The gay activists are nutty. They already use "gay marriage" to force the "LGBT" agenda into public schools and the workplace. Their main objective is to raise a ruckus and to mock societal norms. They will insist on the most bizarre accommodations. They will not stop their demands once DADT is repealed. Instead, they will ramp up their demands. Most likely the military chiefs will go along with their bizarre demands for fear of being labeled as bigoted, hateful and homophobic. All of this distracts from the main purpose of the military which is to keep America safe. The result will be a military force that is distracted from its mission and focused on accommodating various gender preferences to their satisfaction.

Post a CommentOur military works because of a tradition of discipline and rules. I get so sick of all these entertainer types and office smucks saying they work with gays dudes every day and it's no problem. They don't have to shower with their co-workers. It's very unlikely they will ever get a co-worker's blood on them. When they go on business trips, they sure as hell don't have to share a hotel room. Military is different. You don't have the freedom to say I want a private room/shower. Tell you what, why don't we trade places. I'll sit in your shiny office tower with a bunch of gay dudes, and you go off and fight a war. (I promise, I won't be trying to send you any gay dudes to help out.) If you want to see how much respect gay people have for the military, look at http://toppingmarriedmen.blogspot.com/
Just passing though, please address the specific issues that I raised in my article. How do you think the military should handle the sleeping, showering and dressing arrangements? America offers equal opportunity, not equality. People with homosexual desires already have equal opportunity in today's America.
tldr: if we give those whiny gay people some equality they won't stop until they're fully recognized as equals in our society
