THe PC Police Again Shut Down Truth Seaking

Your hysteria does not address any substantive problems, and you've presented no compelling evidence that homosexuals in the military represent a substantive problem.

Bullshit....it is inconceivable that the Military would become open to gays and then deny their partners the extensive monetary benefits of marriage. This is way ahead of the society.

So fire departments and police departments can do so but not the military for some strange reason?

Seven states offer a full range of spousal rights, and four jurisdictions offer more limited spousal rights to same-sex couples

As there are now, and always have been homosexuals in the military, there is no "social engineering" to be done. As with all of your Chicken Little rants, your pronouncements and conclusions are based on assumptions which you have never established.

In fact in your heart of heart it is becoming my opinion that blocking gays winning more rights is worth doing some harm to the military and your claims otherwise is a front you are hiding behind even to yourself.

Hawkeye I am coming to the conclusion you are not being honest to yourself and using an odd theory that somehow kicking out train soldiers out of a manpower short military is somehow a benefit to that military.

blocking gays winning more rights

The military leaderships is coming to look more and more like fools over this matter to the rest of society

I haven't called you any names, you need to look to your asshole buddy Ionus for that.

This entire controversy is manufactured by right-wing Chicken Littles.

Simply saying as much is no more than ipse dixit, and establishes nothing.

they are nothing but dribble

Alan Mathison Turing, OBE, FRS (pronounced /ˈtjʊərɪŋ/ TYOOR-ing; 23 June 1912 " 7 June 1954), was an English mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, and computer scientist. He was influential in the development of computer science and providing a formalisation of the concept of the algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, playing a significant role in the creation of the modern computer.[1]

During the Second World War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. For a time he was head of Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. He devised a number of techniques for breaking German ciphers, including the method of the bombe, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine. After the war he worked at the National Physical Laboratory, where he created one of the first designs for a stored-program computer, the ACE.

Towards the end of his life Turing became interested in chemistry. He wrote a paper on the chemical basis of morphogenesis,[2] and he predicted oscillating chemical reactions such as the Belousov"Zhabotinsky reaction, which were first observed in the 1960s.

Turing's homosexuality resulted in a criminal prosecution in 1952"homosexual acts were illegal in the United Kingdom at that time"and he accepted treatment with female hormones, chemical castration, as an alternative to prison. He died in 1954, several weeks before his 42nd birthday, from an apparently self-administered cyanide poisoning, although his mother (and some others) considered his death to be accidental. On 10 September 2009, following an Internet campaign, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for the way in which Turing was treated after the war.[3]

This usage of "dribble" is archaic. Modern English uses "drivel" in that context.

I prefer today's "PC" attitudes to what prevailed during most of the 20th century.

WASHINGTON " Senior Pentagon leaders on Friday warned Congress not to tamper with the ban on gays serving openly in the military until they can come up with a plan for dealing with potential opposition in the ranks.

In a strongly worded letter obtained by The Associated Press, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen told the House Armed Services Committee that forcing policy changes on the military before it's ready would be a mistake.

"Our military must be afforded the opportunity to inform us of their concerns, insights and suggestions if we are to carry out this change successfully," Gates and Mullen wrote to the panel's chairman, Missouri Democrat Ike Skelton.
