MR T's Haircut said...: There you go. distilled down to a perfect commercial about why this is f(*( stupid to repeal...; 09:15
Skippy-san said...: That's why Jones is going first.; 09:59
SJBill said...: Does "ghey" trump "race" and "sex"??; 10:11
Anon said...: Great cartoon, kind of an inkblot test on the question of repealing DADT. Opponents of repeal, like MTH, look at this cartoon and see gays wanting attention to the detriment of unit readiness and cohesion. Supporters of repeal, like me, look at this cartoon and see what a non-issue sexual orientation becomes when the bullets start flying.; 10:20

Philo said...: Why is it stupid? I thought it was a great contrast about what is and what is not important. Given the situation, who cares if Jones is gay?; 11:25
John said...: "..... and if ANYTHING happens to Jones, the consequences from the chain of command will be worse than anything the enemy has waiting for us. Some soldiers are more equal than others."; 11:40
FbL said...: Exactly. On seeing the cartoon, my thought was "Oh good grief, as if that matters." Followed quickly by the thought that even if his fellow warfighters don't care, obviously people in other positions will ensure it's a distraction. Do you think for a minute the Diversity Bullies aren't going to be all over this--"How many gays do you have in X leadership positions? What are you doing to encourage the professional development of your gay sailors? What steps are being to taken to create a welcoming environment and celebrate the contributions of gays to the military?"

Oh, geez...; 14:22
Anon said...: I just don't see how one can use the fact that the diversity bullies advocate discrimination to advocate continued discrimination against homosexuals. If discrimination is wrong, it's wrong. The sucky part about being logically consistent in your beliefs is that sometimes you have to support something you don't really like. Kind of like Justice Scalia having to find that laws prohibiting flag burning violate the First Amendment, despite the fact that he finds flag burning tremendously offensive.; 15:09
FbL said...: Wasn't advocating for discrimination, just lamenting what some people are going to make a mess of things.; 16:36
xformed said...: It's when the "non-discrimination" becomes a drive to ensure baseline % of representation is the driving force, and not who can just do the job.

The diversity crwod has already made "membership" a thing of just how it looks, not how it works.

If everyone was on the same page regarding serving the Nation for the needs of the many, then the identify of the few would have never become the issue it is.

My perdiction is once the doors are open, then the quatos will be published and the measurement systems "managed" to make the quotas.

All that does if foment resentment of those, who do not believe their finest attribute is their sexual orientation, who just serve, as have so many done.; 18:28
Wharf Rat said...: Phil:

That's the point - who cares if Jones is gay? I don't. But looking beyond this, look at everything liberalism has touched, and I mean everything. There will be quota's, there will be special right, there will be men in dresses 'manning the rail's.

The issue is not don't know/don't care. Get in the head of the liberals - they will not stop at this. They've demanded quota's in every liberal cause, legalizing discrimination against 'priveledged demographics'.

My own wife sat through a 'diversity' seminar as a teacher. The premise was that white teachers had bigoted views, and they needed to search who they were in a real sense to come clean. The premise was that they were bigoted simply because they were white, and by definition priveledge.

This premise completely challenges the idea of personal responsibility, personal effort. That same thing will happen if this is repealed.

We don't care who's gay becaue our premise is that people need to achieve based on their skills and abilities. That means nothing to liberals. They want to break that down, and as CDR Salamander has pointed out on many occassions, they've already done that in the Navy, and by extension the military as a whole.; 00:11
UltimaRatioRegis said...: Hey WR, slide on over to the USNI blog and make those points! Superbly stated!; 07:24
MR T's Haircut said...: <span>Anon, </span>
<span>Actually I see this cartoon as this: The tinkering of our military by social elements leads to corrosion of readiness and cohesivness. Then we are forced to build touchy feely programs to monitor and encourage behavioral change to the detriment pf the majority and to the ultimate detriment of our nation. The Military exists for one purpose: to engage and destroy our enemies.

this cartoon shows the wasted resourced of our government forcing this on the military. Poor Jones is being thrown under the bus by the leadership....</span>; 08:10
Anon said...: MTH, I agree with you about the purpose of our military, but I think the current policy has been detrimental to that purpose. Kicking out qualified personnel whose skill sets are vital to the mission has a very real cost in resources and mission accomplishment. The possibility that Fireman Timmy might feel uncomfortable that a shipmate might be checking him out in the shower? I'm not as worried about that as I am about losing and then having to replace the Arabic linguist who provides critical support to the N2 shop. One of these has an immediate and tangible impact on the mission. The other? Not so much.

I disagree that repeal of DADT by Congress would be the government "forcing" anything on the military. DADT itself was the Congress forcing a compromise on the military (and more specifically, the CINC). Prior to 1993, the ban on homosexuals in the armed forces was a matter of DoD policy. If we repeal DADT, the decision returns to DoD. Whether homosexuals should serve should have been DoD's call all along, so I see the repeal of DADT as undoing something that was forced on DoD long ago.; 11:16
xformed said...: Can't resist: (to paraphrase) "SOME DIVERSITIES ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS!"; 15:02
MR T's Haircut said...: I disagree. And why is there a perception that the Gay's have a market on "Arab linguists" ? Pashto maybe...

at any rate, this will undermine good order and discipline and will lead to unintended consequences.. many will vote with their feet.. me ? I just dont need the f*@( ing aggravation and additional NKO courses for this crap....; 18:13
