I need a SOLDIER...!
God, I love that song. And Destiny's Child. And that video. I digress.
Here's our new gay "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" poster child: Army Sgt. Robert Stout:
Gay U.S. Soldier Wants to Serve Openly (AP)
Our man-in-uniform received a Purple Heart (very cool) serving his country and wants to continue to serve.
In typical White House fashion (according to the AP): "The Bush administration has asked a federal court to dismiss the lawsuit." That is just so passive aggressive.
If anything the Congressional Budget Office has acknowledged its a definite quantitative loss: "A recent congressional study on the impact of "don't ask, don't tell" said that hundreds of highly skilled troops, including many translators, have left the armed forces because of the rule, at a cost of nearly $200 million, mostly for recruiting and training replacements for 9,500 troops discharged between 1994 and 2003."
It just reminds me of the hypocrisy of our country, Land of the Free, Home of the Brave (if you're straight). How is it that we are the premiere super power in the world, yet can be complete social retards at an aggregate societal level? Go figure. That's what America "special" (as in "riding-the-short-bus-to-school" special)
