#10  Him to come out with this at a time of terrorists are knocking on the door an we are bankrupt, is like Capt. Smith asking his men to paint over the skid marks left by the iceberg before manning the lifeboats.

#9  "Obama really wants to be a one-termer."

Never thought I'd have anything in common with Bambi, Broadhead.

#8  Gates and Mullen are either weasels or out of step. In any case both are Idiots in my book. Wait until the left tries to compare exclusion of gays to the exclusion of blacks 70 yrs ago...they'll shoot themselves in the foot when they piss off the blacks with that straw-man. Comparing a sexual behavior to race is foolish but the leftist meme is forthcoming. Obama really wants to be a one-termer.

#7  Someone in the WH fails to notice [besides the growing Tea Party movement and the decline of his party's propaganda arm, MSM] that the military is one of the few government branches that has an incredible level support of the American public. Do something that will drive middle grade NCOs and Officers out faster than you can replace them during the time of war may sell to the senior politicized General Officers across the Potomac but it won't save your hide when the big one hits. Anyone in the Gay community who thinks they'll be able to come out and survive the counter 'revolution' when the Obama leaves is kidding themselves.

#6  Not before November, anyway. They're already in enough trouble over ObamaCare. Here's hoping that after November it won't be possible either.

#5  TW is right armyguy. No sudden moves. The Army and your Ranger buddies need you now more than ever. This too shall pass.

#4  Don't do anything unless both houses of Congress actually pass this thing, armyguy. They haven't had a good record of doing so, not since the stimulus bill.

#3  Thinking ahead. Gay and lesbian promotion and retention goals... how can we best attain them? How can those who have been historically victimized catch up? [cynicism off]

#1  Everything Gates is doing is in lock step with todays Commander in Chief. So all the reports with Gates name put out by MSM should in reality read "Gates Obama".
