It's a shame. Looks like we have buttercups and snowflakes in our military now.

At first glance, that's downright mortifying. Taking a harder look at things though, think about the propaganda value of this. Say his ship fires missile volleys at an on shore enemy, or even at another ship and devastates the enemy.

We put this guy on Voice of America TV stations and say, "hey, remember when we ****ed up your **** and killed a bunch of your people? Here's the 'guy' who did it to you. You got BTFO by this guy. That ought to demoralize the enemy and reduce their will to fight.


As to our military, well, it IS the Navy, so.......

I retired a dozen years ago after 27 active. Never thought I would witness what I see today in my lifetime. The race to the bottom has been quite dramatic over that timespan.

Exactly.
That person might be used in a specific situation to help our country.
Now that he/she is outed, it'll be tougher.
Dogs in the military??? God forbid....
It's a human being with human value you guys are trashing...
Maybe not my or your type, but still a human being none the less.
Meh, y'all trashed McCain, so this is part for the course.

I'll just go ahead and say it, the military is not the place for stupid social experiments. It's a distraction. The military's job is to kill people and break shit. Now, everyone walks on eggshells because an agenda has been forced down their throats (no pun intended) and heaven forbid, someone is offended. Gays have always been in the military, and you knew who they were. I could have personally cared less, but now there are special accommodations for a very small minority, when there is supposed to be uniformity. Just my .02.

What special accommodations are they being given now? Not trying to be obtuse, I just had not heard about any special accommodations or privledges that are being extended only to LGBTQ military members.

So if this person meets the requirements, I welcome them serving. The distraction is caused by others. The newer troops actually DGAF about this stuff. I still work with the military on a daily basis, and nobody is walking on eggshells.
