So you may enlist? Go Navy.

Tonight, the Human Rights Campaign has announced that the House followed in step with the Senate Armed Services Committee in voting in favor for repealing "don't ask, don't tell."
Now we wait for the Senate . . .![]()
This is where an awesome Mark Twain quote would be, but Apolyton says it would be too many lines. :(

I hear the Bear Force is recruiting.
I hate myself.

This thread has nothing to do with Hitler.

CANONICAL: Hitler pioneered letting gays into the army.

No wonder the Nazis had such nice uniforms.

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

So the Dems won't lose more of their base come November, obviously.
The fact that it is also the right thing to do is simply a happy coincidence.

Well there are most likely several logistical factors to be considered. Even though allowing gays to serve openly is itself not a problem there are obviously going to need to be a handful of structural changes...I would appreciate the democrats actually letting government organizations figuring out what the **** needs to be done before voting for once but congressional democrats are all about jumping the gun aren't they![]()

I think he means repealing don't ask don't tell. It's not homophobic to figure out how to restructure the organization, is it?

Then what's the point of passing it now if the civil rights community is confident that the Pentagon review will go well?

POLITICS
Jesus H. Christ. There's an election in November; the Dems are facing an enthusiasm gap; fulfulling a campaign promise on a hot button civil rights issue before the election will, in their calculations, improve their odds of holding their Congressional majority.
This ain't rocket science.

"in their calculations"
Did I say that I agreed with their calculations? No. Did I say that I agreed with their calculations regarding health care? No, I said that they were pretty much screwed either way.
Unlike health care, however, I do think they are doing the right thing here, and hang the political fallout.
