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.

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?
Why? Is Alaska now considered a foreign country by the leftwingnuts? Does the 'President of the 57 states' believe Alaska is still part of Russia?
I think it's crazy too. I never had to have a passport to go into Canada or to go up to Alaska before, but that's how it is these days of border stations hundreds of miles from the border. Go check for yourself.
On January 8, 2007, all travelers, including US citizens, will be required to have a passport to travel by air between the United States and Canada. This would include: Beginning in 2008, all travelers, including US citizens, will be required to have a passport to do the following: http://www.alaskavisitorscenter.com/passports.htm

Oh good. The Ativan has finally kicked in. Now Corn Flake will be nice for a while. He will not attack your mother again. At least for a few hours.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I just got done posting the requirements, half wit. Is the agency posting the quoted requirements seeing things too? Or are you? The fat of life these days is the need for a passport to do what I plan on doing. If I were a Washington State resident, I could get an enhanced driver's license that would do away with the passport requirements. You again are not looking too sharp, as it is you not dealing wit the facts as they are.
Nike guard owned your weak ass.
-----------------------------------------------------------
You can fly into Alaska from anywhere in the US without having a passport.
So this is justification for discriminating against ALL openly gay men? What about men who parade their heterosexuality around by hitting on any woman who is friendly to them? Should they attract venom too? Just wondering...
They do. It's what sexual harassment suits are about. Because of those jerks, we have to sit through hours of sexual harassment seminars.

He attacked your mom and fmaily. Has he threatened to sue you yet? He will.

Perhaps you might learn something from them, Whitey.
What amazes me is I never had so much to talk about involving homosexuality until starting talk on conservative forums. With normal people, I go next door to my neighbors and help in their garden and never once in the course of a day have pause to muse on how they are a woman couple. But in this forum, man....... It's constant. Sodomy this, Lambda that, bathhouse this, gay bar that, these folks really need to get a life. It is not normal to obsess about other people's private relationship business, it really isn't.
So that means you are my lawyer? That's funny dick head, I don't remember hiring you for shit.
Fucker, I have had the same girlfriend for quite some time now. I don't worry about other people sexual shit, unless it is a stupid, bigotted fucking soup sandwich asshole like you bringing up shit that ain't your fucking business.
No shit. But if you want to drive to Vancouver B.C. first before taking the ferry, you need one now don't you?
And what the hell is a Nike Guard? Some sort of sexual fetish toy you use to preform foreplay on your pug dog before it screws your loose and hemorrhoid laden ass?
Are the genders separated in the military? If they are, then to only that extent should they separated. WhiteSands posted on 2010-10-19 14:50:53 ET Have someone you know that can read, explain what the above authors position , in this context is on Gays in the Military.

British Columbia is in Canada, a foreign country.
Wow, you think? Well, I lived in Quebec a while too, and I have friends in B.C. I need to see before I continue North. In any event, I wouldn't go north without getting the passport updated anyway. You never know when it will come in handy. I am also a private pilot, and like to have all the tools I need to not limit what I do when I travel.
I know you can fly over Canada without a passport.
He'd fall on Canada too. Then sue Canada.
-----------------------------------------------------------
And if you fly over something, you never know if you might have to land, yes? Fishing for info. Worry not, when I'm coming and there, you will know it. I'm not afraid of you, and know that you are adult enough to not go batshit or be stupid in real life should we ever meet. I have other reasons for going, and actually don't care either way if you rendezvous or not. Forum is forum, real life is real life. Mad dog on the other hand, I don't wish to meet. You can be sane, I doubt he can.
One of the side effects of Ativan withdrawal is paranoia. Keep up with your head injury meds, you'll be fine.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fishing for info. I'm not afraid of you, So what are the Canadian authorities going to do if your 757 is forced to land in Canada? Arrest you? From you? Why would I care? Why should you be? I'm one of the nice people. The last altercation I was involved in was at a bar in Minnesota where some loudmouthed assholes pushed their luck.

It's constant. Sodomy this, Lambda that, bathhouse this, gay bar that, these folks really need to get a life. It is not normal to obsess about other people's private relationship business, it really isn't. It's been my experience that the really blatant homophobes, or the ones obsessed with homosexuality, are latent, closeted homosexuals themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if some of our fellow posters here fit that profile. After all, look at all the closet gays in the Republican party.
What you saying is that homosexuals are the ones that are publicly attacking homosexuality. Not heterosexuals. That will not go well for you at the club. Don't use it there.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Not heterosexuals. Quite often, yes. Closeted, repressed ones that can't come to grips with their homosexuality and exhibit self-loathing. Are you one of them, Whitey? That will not go well for you at the club. Don't use it there. What club? WTF are you always babbling incoherently, Whitey?
Just damned. What do you expect when you post a fag article on a discussion forum.?
No such thing as a homophobe. That is just a word fags made up to try and make themselves feel better. But you are exhibiting several signs of a normaphobe.
No they are normal. They are also less likely to be disease carriers.

Its been my experience only the insane do something along those lines. Or people looking for grounds for a discrimination lawsuit.

Do you think male homosexuals should be given combat troop commands where they will have the authority to send the men under their command on virtual suicide missions? I have no problem at all with homosexuals serving in support commands,but not in combat commands. The problem is once you legally allow them to assume support command positions,they are then going to sue to be given combat command positions and make the claim that they are being discriminated against because it limits their career options.

The military is a unique branch of the government. They don't exist to be shining examples of individual freedoms. They exist to win wars. It is also the only branch of government that has the legal authority to send people off to face certain death. This is ONE reason women are not assigned to combat units. A commander may be tempted to send a female off on a suicide mission because she refused his advances. On the other hand,a commander might well refuse to EVER send his girlfriend off on ANY mission where she may face the slightest risk,thereby placing all other members of that unit at higher risk of losing their lives. The military is very concerned about a thing they call "Good order and discipline." They have to be. Consider the effect on good order and discipline of the above examples. Those risks also apply to same-gender combat units that would have a homosexual commander or NCO. Do you REALLY want your son or grandson to be faced with the decision to either blow his CO or go off in the first wave of an assault and get killed? Or have him put in the first wave because some other soldier made that decision to avoid being in the first wave himself? "Out" homosexuals should only be allowed to serve in support units,and even then only under the conditions where they wear the same uniform as others of their gender,and they agree to never be put into command positions.

There's something terribly wrong with that. No,nobody is telling them anything. They agreed to those conditions when they enlisted. Nobody drafted them.

They why did he allow them to be born? And don't try to make the claim that it was their choice to become a homosexual unless you are a bi-sexual. The only people who believe that to be true are bi-sexuals. The rest of us are born to be attracted to the opposite gender and all the "learning" in the world won't change that.

One of the most commonly asked questions by Alaska travelers concerns the requirements for passports. Passports have long been required for international travelers entering Alaska from foreign countries. US citizens that travel in Alaska are not required to have in their possession a US passport, although a passport is always a useful piece of identification for any traveler. One of the issues that Alaska travelers must consider, is that Alaska shares a common border with Canada, which is a separate and independent country. US travelers passing through Canada have not been required to have a passport in their possession, however, recent legislation has changed this requirement. beginning in 2008, US travelers, including children, traveling between Alaska and Canada via land or sea will be required to have in their possession a current US passport. For information on how to get a passport, click here.

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.
