“In the last 15 years, I'd bet that not one single person has been kicked out for "Being Gay", except those that have gone straight to the command and demanded to be kicked out (for other reasons, or as an activist statement to get attention).”
So, no one’s been kicked out on that premise except the ones that HAVE been kicked out. Brilliant statement, totally defensible.
Of course, your 15 years extends back to when i was at SWFLANT, and yes, they did kick people out for being gay, at certain commands. Ones with really high security clearances and really fuckknuckle commanding officers.
They maintained that being gay put people at risk of blackmail because they’d be kicked out, so we kicked them out preemptively. A vicious circle jerk.
"We've had people with "Gay Pride" stickers on their cars and the Command looked the other way.”
Yes. Depends on the command.
“In my last year in the Army, we had a soldier in our unit, that painted his fingernails, talked with a serious lisp, pranced around and openly talked about how much dick he sucked. Seriously.”
Oh, man, you served with a caricature! I never met a caricature! A FEW sailors that exhibited One or Two stereotypes, but not the cartoon version.
“Everyone was too scared to say shit to the Command for fear of being punished.”
Uh huh. Punished for what, exactly?
"The Command knew he was openly gay and did nothing. This kid is a walking bag of HIV.”
You’ve seen his medical record? Or are you just adding this stereotype to the rest?
“This kid is not simply "Gay" (which no one would really care about), this kid is a Fag. He's every bit of someone you would not dare depend on to save your life.”
Why not? What did you notice about him that you’d think he would not perform under fire? Or is that MORE of the stereotype you’re huffing?
"If I were still in, I'd seriously consider becoming a conscientious objector, and getting out.”
So, you’re saying no one could count on YOU to save their life? Good riddance, then.
“Let the "Gays" have the military. Let it collapse.”
Oh, a butthurt patriot. That’s so brave of you. You’d rather the country suffer than be a grownup.
"Don't think for one f*ing second it's going to stop here. Within one year, you'll hear the gays scream to get married in the military”
I don’t think anyone gets married IN the military. People IN the military can get married on base, but their license is through the state. And once a state started to allow it, the military had to acknowledge it.
"draw housing pay for their gay "Partners",”
Their legal partners? What a concept!
“get tuition payments for their partners, medical treatment, yada-yada-ya.”
You doomgasm that the military will have to treat legal dependents like legal dependents…?
What legal basis do you imagine they could use to justify NOT treating dependents like dependents? WIthout opening the entire DoD up to a zillion lawsuits?
Imagine if they ignored Loving v. Virginia and did not recognize mixed-race marriages? All those war brides and wives picked up on overseas tours… LOTS of fallout they wouldn’t want, huh?
