 Federal Judge Orders End to ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’Posted on Oct 12, 2010
We might finally see the end of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” as the U.S. military’s controversial policy about homosexuality among its ranks took another big legal hit Tuesday from U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips of California, who ordered the military to put a halt to any actions having to do with the policy, anywhere around the world. —KA

Report thisThis is the Twilight Zone. We people
from truthdig.com are aliens. We come from planet
Crayola. We have been sent here to add color to
your life. The next time you see a rainbow just
remember Crayola. We will help you understand the
human experience. Weird creatures these humans.
They seem to be obsessed with power, money, sex,
drugs, and rock & roll. As one of our earlier
brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis, said, “There is a lot
of shaking going on.” Just hold on. It’s about
to come to a head. I am just completing my report
on humans to be sent back to headquarters on Crayola.
The leaders aren’t going to be happy with the
black and white issues among humans. They will send
more aliens with more color. Over and out!

christian96, your take on sodomy is as illustrative
Report thisof onanism.
it was a judge, not congress, who put the scotch on
dadt. indeed, congress is abusing you shamelessly,
and why not? should you complain about, or even
notice congress have abdicated their responsibility,
surrendered completely to money interests, they know
they can always distract you with just the mention
homosexuality.
i contend an ignorant electorate is more dangerous
to society than sex.

‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’
Should the decision be left up to the courts? It is tempting to let the decision stand. The court is right (although who knows what this Supreme Court would decide) and this bad policy could end now rather than await military action after the useless study is completed. “Study” - Unnecessary since members of the military have served with gays for decades.
But best not to let this supposedly momentous issue be decided by the courts. After all the procrastination by President Obama and military chiefs, this policy should be ended by these men and Congress.

DADT is, at minimum, the silliest policy ever enacted by the US Military! Of course, it is OK for homosexuals to fight and DIE for the various trumped up causes used to continue perpetual war, as long as they don’t admit their sexual preferences…
FUBAR to all the religious nut jobs / NeoCONs who are upset by this ruling!

A member of the military committed to his/her
Report thisservice knows that combat is their primary function,
and whatever their preferred sexual habits may be it
is not an issue - dadt was a way to sideline this
non-issue for ALL concerned, but once again the
illegal-in-chief found a progressive judge out in
cali to impose a narrow view on the will of the
whole. These are people who would outright poop
their pants in a combat zone and wouldn’t get
through the first week of basic training without
crying for mommy.
Frankly folks, when the rounds are inbound nobody
gives a flying fornication if the guy (or gal) next
to them is a pitcher or a catcher, their just glad
they’re there, putting rounds down range like anyone
else.

If our gay compatriots like this, good.
I’ve always seen DADT as a way for a soldier who is not committed to mercenary thuggery, murdering and being murdered in two wars based on the lies of two presidents, to say, “Hey, Colonel, sir, I’m gay. WHere’s my ticket home?”

This is actually a good thing. About time. It is great to see that people realize that sometimes moral values and justice are the greatest critics to law/legality. People really need to start opening their minds. It should be common sense to know that an individual has the free-will and liberty to be in a relationship with whoever they want. Its funny how these homophobes do not make a big deal about Lindsey Lohan having a girlfriend and being open about her sexual preference but when it comes to Bob & Dillon or Cindy & Sara these same people want to bring god and morality into the picture. The rest of the world, please WAKE UP!!!!
