Pentagon Study Finds Soldiers Don't Care About DA/DT Repeal

I could have told them this.  The massive Pentagon study of the impact of Don't Ask/Don't Tell on soldiers and their families is in and the overwhelming attitude of military members to openly gay servicemembers is a big whatever, dude. Basically, Barry Goldwater had it right decades ago when he said soldiers don't care if a colleague is straight as long as he can shoot straight. The commander of the U.S. Army Europe said concerns about DA/DT repeal were “exaggerated and not consistent with the reported experiences of many service members.” Defense Secretary Gates said that repeal “would not be the wrenching, traumatic change that many have feared and predicted.” According to the New York Times:


"The report also found that a majority — 69 percent — believed they had already worked with a gay man or woman, and of those the vast majority — 92 percent — reported that the unit’s ability to work together was very good, good or 'neither good nor poor.'”

Of course, John McCain reiterated his opposition to DA/DT repeal today.  Keep in mind that his excuses for opposition are ever-shifting along with his integrity.  His gal pal Lindsey Lohan Graham said yesterday the she was opposed to repeal despite the fact that it's glaringly obvious that Graham as queer as a 3-dollar bill.  What a farce. 

Palin: We're All Teabaggers!

If you can stand it, here's the quitter blaming right-wing violence on the "lamestream media." 



Who knew the Ticked Off Trannies had a fashion line?

Quote of the Day

"The day that the leadership of the military comes to me and says, 'Senator, we ought to change the policy,' then I think we ought to consider seriously changing it because those leaders in the military are the ones we give the responsibility to."

Senator John McCain, 2006.

Today, the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff did exactly that.
