Republicans boo military


At the Republican debate for presidential hopefuls, a huge wave of BOO's were heard when a gay soldier spoke. As he risks his life for his country and our freedom, they BOO'd him because he wants to be with a male. I hope they will more strongly boo the male multimillionaire who was found guilty yesterday of killing his wife. Is he better because he is heterosexual?
I respect and honor every soldier, regardless of race, gender or religion. I want to hear their words and feelings. I hope one day we will move from a nation divided by hate, to a nation unified for a better tomorrow.

DADT - DON'T ASK DON'T TELL OUT

With 63 votes today in the Senate, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is on the way to the dustbin of history. Now the military and the soldiers must adjust. DADT was a waste of valuable service men and women who had been trained for specific duties and skills, but once accused of homosexuality, were tossed out of the military and all of that training was lost.
