DADT... How Bout DIRM?


To be politically correct let me say that the message on the mirror would be about his military career and not his life...


Should the military repeal, unpeel, or appeal to: DON'T ASK DON'T TELL (DADT)? Or should it be the Does It Really Matter law? Rumor has it that some men (80% of those discharged due to DADT according to one reader) aren't gay but are saying that they are just saying that they are to avoid being deployed to Afghanistan. Rumor has it that some women get pregnant just to be discharged and avoid going to Afghanistan. So does the whole DADT really matter?

One reader (Reader A) says that we get along in society daily working side by side with those that have chosen an alternate lifestyle. 

Another reader (Reader B) replied, that Reader A went to work, worked with the person that had chosen the alternative lifestyle, and then Reader A was allowed to go home. Reader B said that Reader A didn't have to have to bunk with the person in question, shower with them, or live in the same dorm with them.

So is Reader A correct in the comeback in saying that Reader B is insecure?

OK here's a quote on a DADT Blog from MSNBC just for the fun of things... the link is below for the blog.

"12:32PM: Johnson says he does agree with McCain that matters of sexual orientation and race are "fundamentally different" but notes that leading military officials -- at the time -- also predicted negative consequences for racial integration of the Arned Forces."

The imperfect one says: Fundamentally different... ya think? Oh and is it just me or do the last two words remind you of two old timers from the country talking about a dry cleaning shop!
