    It's stupid. I should hope that our military is professional enough to accept gay people serving openly.

    Really?

    If we get rid of the policy, they can no longer serve. Am I right?

    What policy removed the restriction that they cannot serve?

    I don't know, are you right?

    Serious question, I don't follow "gay issues".

    If you were right then gays wouldn't be making a fuss about getting rid of DADT, now would they?

    Clearly the presumption is that the policy change that removed "don't ask, don't tell" would include a complete revision of the military's policy regarding sexuals.

    I don't either, but to my knowledge, DADT only allows gays to serve because they cannot be asked if they have that as a secret. The military laws appears to remain in force that gays cannot serve, because if they tell, they are kicked out.

    I see those wanting to get rid of DADT as falling into two camps.

    The ignorant who don't see it as a means to allow gays to serve, and without it they cannot.

    Those wo want it removed so gays cannot serve.

    Really, what good is removing the policy without changing the military law regarding sexuality in the military?

    How many times do liberals look at things in a full circle relationship? They go by emotion rather than seeing the full ramifications of things.

    Just like democrats promising to keep taxes reduced for the lower brackets, letting the taxes resume for the rich, but have no written bill yet?

    Until their hands are forced, they are nothing but hot air, keeping the desires of the people in play to keep them in power.

    Think about it. If politicians actually delivered the things they promised, who would need them?

    I'm sure I have no idea what any of that has to do with subject of this thread or my previous post.

    DADT is written into federal law. Changing the policy involves changing the law. Those opposed to DADT want sexuals to be able to serve openly. If they are successful, the change to federal law abolishing DADT will also change the rules on sexuals serving in the military.

    That's an assumption. Don't you find it interesting that my point on the topic is never discussed?

    If this is your point:

    Really?

    If we get rid of the policy, they can no longer serve. Am I right?

    What policy removed the restriction that they cannot serve?
    Then I believe that I have answered it. You may label it an assumption, but it is no more of an assumption than your position.

    Are you seriously saying every gay out there trying to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" is doing so without knowing what you know, that it will have the opposite effect they intend?

    How ing full of yourself are you? seriously!

    You mean your assumption that the restriction not to serve won't be lifted along with DADT?

    That's self-descriptive. It is ing obvious that the purpose of removing DADT is to allow gays to serve openly. It is the type of logic honed by defending illogical neo-con bull for years. For WC truth is a secondary to dogma.

    AFAIK it's not existent anymore. My buddy who's a Marine was telling me a few months back that it doesn't apply anymore and how at their recent drill they were discussing it with their CO.

    Until we see the actual policy, it's all assumptions, both ways. Right?

    All I hear about is removing the DADT policy. I never hear about changing the underlying law. Do you?

    There are no "gay issues," only human/equal rights issues.

    We all see this from differing perspectives. Don't we.
