doesn't belong there.
I'd be happy to.  And in the end, you are right.  Afterall, when the military
had a poll about desegregating the majrity were against it...and the President
at the time said, "Learn to adjust."
***why is this sudden a racism issue?  The two are not equal.

**having been military I can say honestly there are legitimate issues about gays
in the military that you have no understanding of.  But leave that aside,
serving in the military is not a liberty.
And I am sure there are people who said the same about desegregating the
Military.  
**and that is not even close to the same thing.
 
DADT is wasted money and time.  It cost money to oust good soldiers.  
**No it does not.  I worked with a guy here who left the army a decorated
soldier and he was gay.  He had no issues abiding by the policy.
 
It may not be a liberty in your eyes, but it is an absurd law that forces people
to lie simply to serve their country.
 
**YOU said it was a liberty.  It is not.  Fat people, short people, dumb people,
handicapped people, felons, old people…all of these people are restricted from
service with no debate. Woman can serve but are restricted to only 95% of
available jobs.  This is not about rights or liberties.
**the military is not ready to integrate this, they do not have the logistics to
make it safe and affair, and this could end up being a fiasco.  As I said, you
have no idea what you are up against.
