Okay, so the news is abuzz about the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy in the military being repealed and everyone has an opinion. Well, surprise surprise I have one too. Fasten your seat belts.
Beliefs are like fears. They don’t have to be rational to exist.Take me for example. I’m afraid of mice. Now, I’m fairly certain that in the history of musophobia, no mouse has ever directly brought harm to a human being. Nonetheless, I run like dysentery whenever mice are around. But at least I know I’m being irrational. That being said, let’s address some Gays in the Military concerns I’ve pulled straight from the net.
“We do not need to turn the military establishment into a sub culture mirroring San Francisco bath houses.”
What in Sam Hill do you think is gonna happen? They’re gonna tie the ends of their shirts into knots and wear camo Daisy Duke shorts while waving a rainbow flag? News flash, not every gay man is a Lady Gaga impersonator.
“i wouldent want to shower, and train with men that are gay, just my opinion.”
Well, I WOULDENT want to shower with someone who sounded out the word wouldn’t and thought it included an E. Besides, much like every woman does not want you, every gay man does not want you. If your argument is sexual assault, then you better start banning the heteros, because statistics say about 34% of women have been sexually assaulted during active duty. Talk about sexual deviancy!
“I don’t think our fighting men need ANY kind of distraction as they serve and risk their lives for our country.”
Okay, if you are in the middle of combat dodging, bullets, IED’s, mortars and suicide bombers and your main concern is some “Nancy Boy” checking out your glutes, then maybe YOU need to be banned from the military. Listen, Liberace could come back from the grave to give Ru Paul a double fisted handjob while playing “Dude Look Like a Lady” on the piano with his butt cheeks and I would only pause long enough to say, “Drop the c*ck and run!!”
“A TRUE Christian obeys God as ruler rather than men (Acts. 5:29), and when man’s laws contradict God’s laws, chooses to obey God!”
Okay, now quote me the verse that says gays can’t serve in the military. Take your time, I’m going to get a snack… Okay, what did you find? Still looking? Well, why you do that, keep in mind the fact that we knowingly allow atheists, racists and gang members in the military. Pretty sure the Good Book takes issue with those folks as well.
“You should be able to confidently trust that the Marine next to has your back, and not like that.”
Yo, retard, the DADT policy acknowledges the fact that there are ALREADY ARE gay marines! How is knowing that he rides the Hershey highway make him any less trustworthy? He doesn’t change at all. The only thing that changes is your perception.
I could go on and on, but you get my drift. You can color your reasoning with morality, religion, tradition, whatever, but the reality is, it all stems from fear, hatred and ignorance. Mankind has a history of fearing and/or hating what he doesn’t understand. I was once very anti-gay until I really thought about how I was discriminated against. How the 1st time I was called nigger was at Christian Camp. How I was stopped at Sinclair by security because they “hadn’t seen me around before (WTF??!).” And how I was pulled over in Oakwood and asked about recent robberies and the number of times I had been arrested. I hated how that felt, and I could never make anyone else feel that way. If the only way to build yourself up is to tear someone else down, then you must already feel pretty low.
A person wants to defend our country with his/her life. How can you have a problem with that?
