Well no. It has little to do with homophobia and more to do with allowing the military to run test trials to see how this will work out and how troops react to it. It is a prudent measure. A little patience in the name of safety of our troops while such test trials are conducted would garner more favor views than running about screaming "homophobe".
Interesting opinion you have.
That description could cover half of the people on the P&OC folder, and not the gay ones.
Perhaps people with preconceived and erroneous opinions of others should look at themselves instead of projecting their assets and not so assets on others.
Every post you make on this subject serves to reinforce mine.
Everything isn't a battle to be won for "the underdog" whoever the underdog may be.
Status quo and all that go along with it, like tradition, standards, history stand for something in the military.
Our military doesn't have to bend to "get with the times". Everything shouldn't be a Progressives opportunity to throw a wrench in the machine and muck it up.
It works fine the way it is, homosexuals are a MINORITY in the military so insignificant it doesn't even justify mentioning.
Leave it alone.
If a gay wants to serve in the military then they serve under conditions. "Don't Ask Don't Tell" is that condition of service.
Your second paragraph is batty.
Treating all people with dignity and respect is the name of the game.
You should already be doing this, irrespective of their sexual orientation, or color, or weight, or whatever...
Are you saying that you don't?
Self absorbed busy-bodies? Isn't your post a prime example of this.
BTW, I do like the term hateros to describe the attitude of your second paragraph.
So you, and numerous other hateros on CD, automatically disrespect people simply because they're gay.
Do you see the big glaring holes in your logic?
My homosexual friends know that I respect them for who they are, not for who they do it with, or the community that represents. I don't have to qualify every relationship with every person, place or thing based on their cause. My dog was neutered prior to my adoption of him, I don't spend my days in a fight for dog sexual freedom rights, I just hope he has a happy life with what he's got. A gay co-worker, when he's shut down for his infrequent sexual references, coined that phrase (haterosexuals), I thought it was cool. I see no holes in my logic, for it's all mine, baby. I just feel that most heterosexuals just don't put a whole lot of thought into gays being accepted into the military or gay marriage. Forcing issues sometimes slows the levels of natural acceptance.
It has everything to do with homophobia. The argument against repealing DADT is that the troops are TOO HOMOPHOBIC to deal with the presence of gays.
Again you completely ignore the process the military goes through before implementing new policy, especially in theaters of war.
Actually, if you would listen to this live on C-Span you would hear it has more to do with the Dems. trying to sneak Harry Reids Amnesty DREAM Act through at the same time.

FAIL!
Wouldn't this be a good reason to have muslim nations forbid any US soldiers from entering muslim nations, because gays would be there. I think that might be the reason why liberals are so in favor of it?
Does anyone think that muslim nations would be welcoming to gay US troops?

That's an interesting angle.
Wouldn't the Muslim angle be worth discussing if this could possibly become an issue.
