I have never understood the whole right wing idea that Gays in the military are bad. Our military is rumored to be the toughest and most professional on Earth – able to run into the teeth of battle without batting an eyeball.
Scared of nothing.
So you are telling me this fierce bunch of people who have been fighting Al Qaeda, the Mahdi Army and who knows what all, for almost six years now can’t handle Gays?
Somehow Gays are more of threat to democracy and freedom than Bin Laden? This is one thing the Marines can’t overcome? A beach they can’t take?
Horseshit. Marines can handle anything and so can the other branches of our military.
Does seem to be a contradiction, doesn’t it…
Sadly, the women in the military seem at much greater risk from their fellow soldiers…. perhaps that’s part of the fear (or perhaps guilt?), that they think openly gay soldiers might treat them the same way they treat their female co-soldiers?
Sigh…. (I like today’s cartoon, though!)
