#2 Somehow I don't think that scares these people very much. Only their own political position or their very skin has value to them.

#3 Perhaps the Democrats could use Hitler's Sturm Abteilung as a model for their future gay military.

#5 professional diversity training to enforce acceptance and zero tolerance of anyone who disagrees
More likely "zero tolerance of anyone who disagrees to enforce acceptance".

But you knew that.

#6 In truth, before Bill Clinton, if a homosexual was discovered while committing a homosexual act, they would be discreetly discharged, often without punishment and with an honorable discharge.

Don't ask, don't tell changed that, so that if an individual was identified as a homosexual, truthfully or not, their life was in danger. The new policy resulted in a whole bunch of homicides. Motive was specifically omitted, so as to avoid troublesome connections being made.

The best an open homosexual could hope for, if a new policy is enacted, is to be savagely beaten in basic training, by his peers. If he makes it to active duty and is discovered, he is a dead man.

#7 We don't need soldiers, we can talk to our enemies. That's always worked. Right?

#8 lifting the ban is a dumb move - the Mil is not a social experiment, & pushing for diversity is 90% of the time a load of horse shit & a waste of tax $$$. I have nothing against homos, I am revolted by the thought of what they do together but I don't want anyone injured because of it. Bottomline, you repeal this and we cannot protect them. Too many serviceman don't want them around & will take matters into their own hands.

#9 ...It would pretty much destroy the military as we know it."
Isn't that what Congresswoman Tauscher intends?
