I worry that there is a culture of "us vs. them" in the military that makes it okay when "we" remind "them" that they don't belong here.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274649474631102119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-9131451924483170532010-05-30T11:29:40.908-05:002010-05-30T11:29:40.908-05:00Good fucking point, Comrade.Good fucking point, Comrade.Tenured Radicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703980598547163290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-58419351714758050012010-05-30T10:57:18.944-05:002010-05-30T10:57:18.944-05:00I think this Radical may have greater faith in the...<i>I think this Radical may have greater faith in the officer and non-commissioned officer corps than the politicians do. Ours is the best trained military in the world, and they will do their job.<br /></i><br />Politicians don't give a single flying fuck whether DADT is or isn't good military policy, nor whether the command hierarchy will or won't have trouble maintaining discipline were DADT to be repealed. In fact, I doubt whether the very existence of those considerations has even occurred to them. Rather, they care about only one thing: whether pandering to hateful bigoted fuckbags is necessary for their continued electoral success.Comrade PhysioProfhttp://physioprof.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
