Besides, many folks in the military are Americans or Servicemen first, and Christians second. It's a matter of priorities. Even though I have no such obstacles myself. I'm not sure why you care so much, you really seem to be just attempting to bait Christians with your argument.

I have a bit of a distinction between it. Civilian pressure on ending DADT angers me to no end because it isn't any of their fragging business. But when folks like Admiral Mullen wish to end it, well he is the highest ranking member of the military who is IN the military. It's not a decision...

It's sort of like extended self-defense OP, do you think a good Christian would just let someone walk up and kill him or would he fight back?

Seriously, if half of that South African posters conspiracies were true, him being the only one to know it means there's no proof, because if there were it would be all over the net. Not that I care anyway, I just do this job for the check.

It's just typical inter-service rivalry taken too far. The Navy and Air Force have plenty of contributions. I can't speak for the Navy aside from SEALS, EOD, SeaBees, and Corpsmen.. But the Air Force has more than it's share that leave the wire: Security Forces(Often attached to the Army or...

Second trip to A-stan in 2011 for me, hopefully they've expanded Bagram a bit if that's where we end up again.

To be fair Skaloop, the military doesn't care what you think. It's not meant to pander to political correctness or fairness, it's an organization that is about efficiency. My opinion on DADT isn't for the gays who want to join, it's for all the gays/lesbians/bisexuals in the military who don't...

Eventually after a bit of rack time those thoughts always wander back... We had a few hot instructors when I was a boot, but they were invariably the meanest by far, and for a good reason. All the folks I knew who were in female led flights said if anything it made them more motivated because...

It varies, my Chief has said repeatedly that anybody who has served is a veteran, and anyone who has seen combat is a combat veteran. I think it's subjective, the VA(Veterans Affairs) provides services to all people in and former military, regardless of if they have seen combat or been abroad.

If he's far from masculine and wimpy, he shouldn't be in a combat role anyway. His sexual orientation should not be a factor. Heckle, haze, and generally show disdain for anyone who is too wimpy to do their job, that's fine by me. Set your comrades straight(so to speak) until they get the damn...

I spent a few months working at the Academy, and I really applauded this positive step in the addition of a wiccan place for services. People are making out the whole cross in the circle thing to be alot more than it is though, it was really childish and bigoted of whichever braindead cadets...

The actions of both sides are pretty horrible sometimes. Unfortunately people who do not deserve the violence that they get are on both sides, perpetrated by ignorance, also on both sides.

I don't see the controversy, if you don't believe your kids should play with something like that, then don't buy it for them. Simple equation, who's stupid enough to not figure that one out?

I saw that too while I was at work channel flipping.. I love Sarah Silverman to death, and while what she's doing is too extreme for me, it's really great that she's giving such an unselfish effort to this issue. It also means she's single for a little while longer! I love that sexy jew...

Murder involves someone petty not giving another living being a choice. The Death Penalty involves a large panel reviewing the evidence and getting a general consensus. It shouldn't take the court system decades to kill someone, I don't even freaking know how Major Hasan is still alive. We...

I used to have a few arguements about why we should keep DADT, but I eventually chalked them all up to the fact that things work fine the way they are. If(When) DADT is gotten rid of though, it won't bug me much. It'll bug a bunch of insecure macho types who are way too self-conscious about...

Agreed, while I do feel that if you sign up and are gay you know what you're getting into, DADT should be gotten rid of. Though until it IS changed, I don't have much sympathy for people who aren't careful and get caught. Rules are rules, until they change.

Well, in Heinleins book, not being a citizen wasn't necessarily negative. They didn't demonstrate any real bias between Citizens and non-Citizens, just that Citizens are very proud of their right to vote, understand the importance of it, and have invested some of their life into it. The OP did...

Academy chapel to add outdoor circle to worship areas If that link doesn't work on non-mil computers, let me know and I'll find another. So why all the rage and indignation? It's a [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash...

POG on POG action? OP, if all he gets is teasing because of his orientation if his unit really knows, he can count himself lucky. People get discharged for less. I don't think it's so much about being gay as being too feminine or wimpy, while there are type A Macho jackoffs, you don't have...
