Really? Where do you get that idea?

I never said it did.

Please do learn to follow a thread.

Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

I get that idea from U.S. military policy which implements Pub.L. 103-160 (10 U.S.C. § 654b) passed by the US Congress in 1993.

Please try to follow your country's news

Comment is very necessary.

His buddy was trying to defend an indefensible position, perhaps he has homosexual tendencies too?

And he is only one person. Who's to say there was no detrimental effect on other naval personnel?

The fact is the US Military, supported by the American People via Congress, has chosen not to have open homosexuals poodling around in the military of the world's sole superpower

"The rules", as you put it, are unjustified and nonsensical.
Even Britain has the common sense to have a court tell their military to shape up and stop discriminating.

If the military creates a rule demanding that all soldiers need to wear crosses, do we blindly declare that those who refuse are "flouting the rules"?

You are purposely avoiding the justification of this rule, and avoiding the fact that the military ignored its own rule out of convenience.

It's amazing how often you ignore the main argument and make snide comments about add-on statements.

You reveal over and over again that ANYTHING you would have ANY authority over would be ruined in a short period of time.
Absurd policies and idiotic ideas that are just plain not followed in real life.
These guys aren't going to get fired.

And the very idea of firing a person just because he knew of another gay sailor?
Wow!

The rule is unjustified and should be rejected.
An overwhelming majority in this country think the anti-gay policy of the military is crap.
The government's OWN RESEARCH on the issue prove that it is unwarranted.

Other countries demonstrate capability to run a military without this rule.
It is discrimination without a purpose.
