5. If you're willing to lay down your life for your country...

...your personal life is no one's fucking business.

Actually, a person's personal life is no one else's business anyway, but what gripes me about the DADT debate is that many of the people who were screaming about keeping gays out of the Military never spent a day in uniform.

The men and women who serve in our Military...gay, straight, every last one of them...deserve a much higher level of recognition and respect for what they do.

:patriot:

7. Now wouldn't it be EVEN BETTER if we could get them all, gay and straight, OUT of

Iraq and Afghanistan?

One step at a time... This is so awesome!
