If the government was to not let a vegetarian not serve in the military simply because he or she was a vegetarian then I would call that bigotry and hatred.

No it's not bigotry or hatred.

Everything people disagree with is not BIGOTRY or HATRED.

I'm so sick of people pulling the BIGOT and HATRED "card" when it's got nothing to do with that.

So if I say I am disgusted by black people and dislike them to the point I think they should be discriminated against, prohibited from marriage amongst themselves and barred from certain occupations.... I'm just voicing the same level of disgust as someone who hates mushrooms?


What warped @ss world do you people reside in!?

If said vegetarians banned butchers from military service (or from accessing civil marriage law, etc) then yes. Otherwise, no.

Would somebody please explain to me what was wrong with Don't Ask Don't Tell? If you are gay and out there defending my liberties, God bless you and thank you, but nobody needs to know about your sexual preferences.

Or so it seems to me.

Stupid quote of the day? I think so. Obama has nothing to do with anything you are saying.
The fact is there are always problems with some people in the military. And now, there will be problems with some openly gay people in the military, and most of it will have nothing to do with sexual matters. Some will, and it needs to be addressed and that goes for heterosexual matters too. Whatever your sexual orientation is not everyone is cut out to handle military life, they can and should be weeded out. I'm going to let the military handle their own.

Eating doesn't involve sexual reproduction.
