I learned two things here today as I am watching Grahm on TV... one is that Lindsy Grahms is a he and not a she.... I always thought Lindsey was a girls name and two is "kingdom come" I always thought is was kingdom calm....
Anyway, on this clip, he says the same thing I asked yesterday that the great educated one refused to answer... that is why must the missile defense be taken down? "take down your defenses" doesn't make any sense to me, so calling oh great educated one, please answer.
I see much of this working in Russia's favor, not the US's. also, why do we need a treaty anyway.... I thought with O's election, peace would come to earth.. I was sold on it

siouxchef: Surely you're not suggesting that male medics/corpsmen don't currently treat wounded females (and vice versa) on the battlefield now?" I don't know the policy now and no, not in emergency cases of course not. I was talking about routine checks, like STDs, hernia's, etc.. Even in emergencies, a female (only females) were allowed to request a female. Even in several areas of combat, we were clearly told that we needed a female present to our jobs and that included Somalia, Bosnia, and should the event happen, we were off limits in Saudi Arabia.
Or are you concerned about them holding hands like Arab men already do?" I take it you may have traveled to the middle east on business, not military... You heard about the British couple getting arrested for kissing in Dubai correct, well, what would have happened had they been gay? I'm sure a lot worse. We were clearly told what we can and can not do when we landed, even bibles, crosses, Jewish stars, and especially porn were confiscated.. Lets say two guys grab a hotel room and the clerks get suspicious... how do we deal with it on such a case?

what is so wrong with having a missile defense even if nukes are reduced?

So, Mr. Smith, what do you propose? or do we wait for NK to actually throw a nuke over the border and then respond?

They've been doing them in that exact location with the same threats all the time? Please." Yongson was my first duty station, we did a lot of CAX's, Team Spirits, mountain training with the SK, etc.. that was back in 91' If any of you ever been in the Army and have gone to GSA, you'd see that even back then, everyone was locked and loaded.

It is not like jihadist terrorism grows out of nowhere and infects people randomly; much as the media tries to present it like that." Well, I'd sure like to know how its flourishing..

Good Donkey: I posted a question, you could have at least answered it. You go around calling people stupid doesn't help. Again, as a medic, I was only allowed to males... will there/can there be a cause to make a third category and if its not made in due time, will that be enough reason to call for a discrimination suit? second: If they are out in the open, and they go to an allied country, say Saudi Arabia, how is that going to go over? You are yelling at me as though I'm a bigot when I clearly said I support the repeal but with certain measures in place. What's your problem the last two days?

What happens now to the guys that were kicked out because they outed themselves or were outed by mistake, will they now be let back in?" Are you referring to the ones that just wanted to get by any means? I know 2 that did that and they weren't gay at all...
I'm going to go invest in gold because Glenn Beck told me to" don't know what this dude has told you, but I really wish I bought some gold recently.

Loki: that's a good point in a way.. I wonder if there's going to be some stats on that.. as for those Ivy league types, man, they ain't gonna enlist. They will however probably wind up getting an elected position, become a prosecutor/lawyer, etc...

Unless you think gays that been serving for years honourably will go hog-wild raping fellow soldiers, etc in order to get kicked out and throw their benefits away." He posted a question really...

You know, there's a lot of things in the UCMJ that are odd and I think they are anti-minority. did you know that even having an orgy is illegal?
DADT is now gone, I hope this now stops the yelling and screaming... now you guys need to focus your energy to the middle east, Africa, and Cuba.... all three have been bastion of the left, so go get em

smithinjapan: So why should I quit it if there have been findings 'all across the board'? It means that I might be correct." yes, it does and it doesn't.
Should I instead just sit by why people say homosexuality is a 'lifestyle choice'" smith, my sister is a lesbian. She's had boyfriends and was married twice before.... I asked what was up with the change, and she said that she is please more from a woman then a man (well, she pretty much only went with Anglos which might be part of the reason). Explain that Mr. Smith
"one in ten people are gay." globally?
Let me ask you this.. as you are aware, I was in the medical field in the Army and for three years after getting out. I have stuck my fingers up hundreds of butts and squeezed hundreds of testicles... but all were men. for females, a female medic performed these. So, what are we going to do now that its wide open? Can a gay soldier specifically ask to be treated/tested by a gay medic?

then the majority of soldiers don't mind the repeal neither" Have you seen the questionnaire? If its anything like the one they gave out in 91/2' it kind of leaves you an a or a b..... No one is against a person being gay in the military, however, there are a lot of questions that should have been settled before they arrogantly repealed this. I asked it above, in a sarcastic manner, but it is nevertheless a point. Will they now consider instead of separating sexes, make everyone co-ed? If not, how to they deal with this? Again, what if someone is a devout Christian or even Muslim, do you put him/her as a bunk mate with a gay? What about some Christan or Muslims saying the military is now discriminating against their religion and therefore want to be released from their contracts? And I'm only asking questions.

What a pathetically baseless statement" its obvious you neither run your own business (or even in marketing) nor are you of Cuban decent... I have refused to do business with companies who I have an inclination that they would send our medical devices to Iraq. I will tell anyone not to do business with anyone who does send Castro money. Maybe you like the idea of a dictator getting money but I don't especially when said dictator has seized everything my family has ever owned. Only pigs are desperate to do business with people who would potentially hurt you. Besides, why are they doing business with American companies? I thought they weren't down with us.

I can see the law suits on both sides of this coming now... just like some guys in prison suing because certain needs weren't met... A christian or a Muslim is going to say this goes against their religion. A gay is going to say the military didn't provide him/her they were victims of sexual harassment. This is not going to go over smoothly for a while. GD: I've seen you rant before but this is tops today.. you are one cranky dude today.
smith: as far is it being biological? quit it. you know damn well that there have been finding all across the board on this. You are way too pushy.

... the only problem I really see is is the next step cross dressing? Sorry Wolfpack beat you to the slippery slope logical fallacy." So you're ok with military members cross dressing?

why are some people crying for this guy? A company has every right to do business with who they want to and don't want to. He should have known his gig wasn't going to go over lightly.
BTW, not getting business from BOA should be taken as a compliment.

one down side of this that only those who've been in the military, is that saying your gay won't get you out of your contract!!! Knew quite a few who got out like that.
I never agreed with kicking a person out for being gay nor causing them harm.
There has always been gays in the military, that's a given, especially in the medical field... the only problem I really see is is the next step cross dressing?
