Allies to U.S.: Get Over Antigay Policy

I don't have any more confidence in President Obama's war policy, than I do his predecessor Bush. Of the "3 allies noted Swedes, Dutch, and British, only the Brits have experience or track record. I wouldn't trust the others a bit. These "advisors' failed to mention both Iraq and President Obama's escelated war, Afghanistan ( our 1000th soldier was killed yesterday) don't look fondly at Gays and to be openly Gay now would probably fuel opposition and undermine diplomacy. I don't think these Swedes, Britts or Dutch understand that, or it's impact on foreign relations. Despite President Obama's great popularity, our days of having allies who would stick with us through thick and thin are long gone... and don't forget an Afghan war brought down the Soviet Union.

Would you please, for the love of all that's holy and for the common good, stop bashing Obama and also stop expecting him to fix EVERYTHING that's wrong with America? If you wanted to fix things like this, you should have really voted for Ralph Nader and/or for the Green Party-then you might have the problems you want solved. You all voted for this guy-put the frack up or shut the frack up. Change isn't going to come overnight.

Dear America, God is trying to tell you something, but you think you are the best country in the world. I am an American. I am ashamed of the way our troops are dismissed from the services because of "sexual orientation". I cannot join the military for heatlth concerns (diabetes), but I always wanted to serve our nation. I'm glad that I'm not able to serve now, because of the blatant ignorance of the United States. We are all born, and we all die. It's time you stood up for your GLBT communities that will take a bullet for their country. It's time to end this now. God bless our local GLBT service members, whom fight for freedom and still have to lie/hide their sexual orientation.

I am amazed that our country denounces other countries anti-gay policies and are so resistant to changing our own policies that discriminate. People from other countries certainly don't see us as the symbol of "freedom". The US is once again lagging behind rather than being the leaders that we claim to be for the international community.

NOBAMA ARE YOU LISTENING?

What appears to have been lost on our political and military 'leaders'; is that this inane policy, known as DADT, has made us the laughing stock of the free world. One of these days we're going to do something, like invade Iran, and our allies are just going to tell us 'no' when he ask them to join the 'coalition'.

Our Allies do not joke around wig this! I was on one cruise, one of the seninor enlisted on my US Navy ship found out that one of our NATO sister ships had two sailors on board who were Transgendered. He was balantly verbally abusive to them every chance he could be. The day came when he had a heart attack. Our frigate did not have a doctor, so we Medivaced hin off to he closest ship with a real doctor. But, thier two corpsman were the yonug ladies he had disrespected so often before. So, they were redirected to he next ship, but... They knew about him. So they were redircted again... He lived an never returned to our ship. Do not screw around with NATO forces! They don't play games!

Since a great number of Americans think the rest of the world is made up of inferiors, I doubt this will make much of a ripple.

I wonder if this will be reported on any other news source other than The Advocate, since the Republicans own most of them.

Now that's a fly in the metamucil!.... bet'cha the all mighty US Politicians did not see this one coming.
