DADT: The Un-American Policy of the American Armed Forces
The above clip from the Maddow Show is.....HILARIOUS! Numbs the senses, though. You can not serve America's armed forces, if you are gay. But the heterosexuals can serve the armed forces and engage in rampant sexual acts while on duty. It is common knowledge that sexual abuse (between men and women) is not uncommon in the armed forces. THAT is OKAY, but a strapping, mentally and physically healthy, fit gay man or woman is UNFIT TO SERVE their own country simply because of their sexuality which is not a choice, but something natural they are born with.
WOW! What a message this is to the gay kids who are contemplating suicide right now???? Isn't the message to them duplicitous and contradictory? "It Gets Better"? If a gay teenager today is aspiring to be in the armed forces, how does "it get better" for him/her? What message is the American Armed Forces sending to the gay kids who are getting bullied at school??? The logic is stunningly lacking.
DADT, implemented in the American Armed Forces, clearly discriminates against a certain section of the American people for absolutely no fault of their's. But I thought this was America? The land of Equal Opportunity and Rights for All. Really? But openly gay men and women are banned from serving in the armed forces. Where is the "equality of opportunity and rights" in this policy??? The American Armed Forces, which should be the beacon of all things American, DOES NOT subscribe to Equal Opportunity and Rights for All and therefore, is clearly biased, discriminatory and.....Un-American.
