WASHINGTON – A Pentagon spokeswoman says recruiters have been told that they must accept gay applicants, following a federal court decision striking down the ban on gays serving openly in the military. Spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said Tuesday that top-level guidance has been issued to recruiting commands informing them that the military's "don't ask, don't tell" rule has been suspended for now. Recruiters also have been told to inform potential recruits that the moratorium could be reversed at any point. Last week, a federal judge ordered the military to stop enforcing the 1993 law banning openly gay service members. The Justice Department is appealing the decision and has asked for a temporary stay.

I don't see how recruiters will know to be honest, beyond a gay waltzing in and screaming 'I'm gay! I'm gay! I'm gay!'. Its been my experience only the insane do something along those lines. Giving them a M-16 or M-4 seems rather stupid...
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Actually, homosexual folks have served in the U.S. Armed forces since the beginning of this country. All this does is prevent a person interested in signing up from being turned away by bigotry if this triviality becomes known to the recruiter. Being gay or lesbian has nothing to do with how good or bad a serviceman or woman a candidate will be. This discrimination should of been ended decades ago.
FM, 1. I served with gays. NO problems what so ever. 2. There isn't 'discrimination'. There is a lack of tolerance for 'screamers', those that feel dressing like Cher or Judy Garland is 'appropriate for all circumstances'. We both have know those types I suspect.

If gays do serve in the military. They should have special units for the gays. They should always be on the front line. No not because they are gay but because they don't have any offspring.
Are the genders separated in the military? If they are, then to only that extent should they separated.
-----------------------------------------------------------
They already serve, Stone. And you are wrong, there is nothing about homosexual people that would justify such a dumb move as you hatefully propose. I also would say you are very much wrong too about the offspring thing. Many gay and lesbian people have kids, and if people were kept from having sex merely for being unable to bear young, no woman would be allowed to have sex after menopause, and any man who has had a bilateral orchiectomy due to testicular cancer would be allowed to as well.
Which one is weasel?
Agree. They should search for roadside IED's using the braille method.
I was in the Air Force 30 years ago. There was guy who was getting kicked out because he was gay. He got caught with his boyfriend in the barracks. Not too smart. While he was packing, I told him that I didn't agree with the decision. What did he do? He hit on me, right then and there. WTF????? I don't think that the government should discriminate against gays. I don't believe that the government has any business telling people who and who they can't marry. However, individuals have responsibilities too. A big part (but certianly not all) of the venom that gays attract is due to some gays who parade their sexuality around -- from showing up in speedos to the gay parade to hitting on any man who is friendly to them.
what DADT does is tell gay service members to lie to their superiors. There's something terribly wrong with that.
Why is it that Israel allows gays to serve and doesn't seem to have any problems with it?
There is something wrong with that, they shouldn't have to lie about being gay, as there is nothing wrong with that. I have seen people thrown out for being gay and it pissed me off. one good friend of mine worked in the administration part of the battalion I was in and his superior stole his car keys, searched his car, found letters from his boyfriend, and they both were kicked out. He was a very competent, caring person who did his job well. I remember seeing him ... Tell you what I just can't talk about it and will leave it at that. It will forever affect how I feel about this and what I do about it, and I don't give a shit who likes that or not. I have gotten people busted locally for discrimination, and I go full and enthusiastically right into their shit and fuck them up in as legal a way as I can. If I had to do the what comes around goes around to the officer again, I wouldn't. But I sure understand why we did it, and he deserved it. My personal policy is anyone who uses a racial, homophobic or any sort of nasty term in public gets thew full on confrontation about it. I don't live in fear, I just act. It is easier it being Eugene, Oregon as people who are thinking about acting jump in behind me when I take the initiative. But I don't live in fear. live my life exactly as I believe I should. And I don't tolerate haters and baiter's in person.
You are such a coward Yukon. You just don't have any balls. Just lip, and I would say you have four of them.
You are delusional, shit-for-brains.
There most certainly is. It is immoral.
Who are you to dictate who should love who? Tell you what, do what I do; I don't date guys or bed them and leave it at that as far as my personal feeling about it. I know that homosexual guys feel the same as I do, only in terms of not being attracted to women. We all all different than one another, and that is as it should be. Hey, to each their own. I don't judge people who relate to other adults who relate back to them in the same way. If you want to be a mature adult, do the same.
And you never do anything but whine. And you do it because you are a coward, and would never walk up to anyone you give shit to to their face nice and in person like.
No. Faggots should never be accepted. God himself said so.
Bullshit, You don't talk for any deity. I know many Christains who know better, and would never agree with your brand of bigotry.
You don't know any christians who disagree with what I said. It is true. King James Bible If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them
Here is some more truth. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
And you would condemn Muslims who would do an honor killing, as would I. But if I ever see someone attacking a gay friend, I stand with them and defend against that attack of the criminal. Two adults living life as they desire trumps a criminal's sociopathic attack. As far as the Bible goes, it means not to much to me. I don't accept it as the word of any god. To me, it is a historical work of a group of men. Just as you might view the Koran or the Torah. And you would have no right to criticize Christians who disagree with you on this, some of which made that site I showed you once that interprets those words you cite quite differently, and are very Christian. And you have no right to make people miserable or bully anyone because of your warped sensibilities in regard to Christianity. Grow up Stone, nobody likes people who act like cowardly bullies.
The world is full of them. You just refuse to see the obvious, because your heart is cold and full of hate toward anyone who disagrees with you about your cowardliness and bigotry in regards to homosexuality.
Says the brain damaged ,douche that runs this avatar: -----------------------------------------------------------
I stated a fact, shit-for-brains. Did you attend school in the United States? Special needs?
Did your mother have any kids that lived?
So you hope he is dead. What a POS pussy you have become. You brain dead moron.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Flake Girls mom is now fair game for you bro.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Bro"? You two retards are related?
Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark. But then, truth always does.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over. (Murron)
Did your mother have any kids that lived? All of them intelligent, hard working and productive.
Corn Flake Girl will threaten to sue you soon. It's how he survives.
-----------------------------------------------------------
She's dead. Died of cancer in 2002. I'm the oldest, and was the primary combatant against her alcoholism. She was no friend of mine when she died, so I really don't give a shit what you say about her.
What are you now, my lawyer?
Except you. You refuse civility online, and if we meet, you will reap what you sow.
I don't hang out with queers in gay bars and bathhouses, weasel. So the chance of us meeting is remote at best.
Not so. I don't drink, I am not gay, and I have been to Alaska before, and will be again.
In fact, I updated my passport this summer, which one needs since Bush and Cheney blew up the twin towers and put a missile in the Pentagon. I also have a place to stay up there, and an invite.
Will you be going there to see Sarah announce the acceptance of the nomination?

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. -- Joe Sobran

Reality check - Government spending is down, the deficit is down, government employment is down, and private hiring is up.
