In a move that makes one start to contemplate the early onset of dementia, Senator John McCain is all for DADT (PageOneQ).

When asked by [Boston]Edge reporter Peter Cassels his position on DADT, McCain replied, "All the senior members of the military say that it's working." When asked directly if he would vote for Massachusetts Congressman Marty Meehan's bill (H.R. 1059) to repeal the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, McCain said, "No."

Uh huh.

According to the Washington Post, the cost to taxpayers for discharging and replacing gay servicemembers between 1994 and 2003 was $364 million dollars.  A total of 9,500 servicemembers were discharged in that time period because they are gay.  That's 9,500 able-bodied people with essential skills, talents and training.  That includes individuals versed in both Arabic and Farsi -- fired b/c of their sexual orientation.  Is that really in the best interest of national security?

And this from the House Blend ...

Meanwhile, recruitment has tanked, resulting in a lowering of standards, admitting people convicted of aggravated assault, robbery, vehicular manslaughter, receiving stolen property and making terrorist threats. That's truly an Army of One.

Oh yes, and this week the Army announced, for the second time since January, that it has raised the maximum age for recruits. The first bump was from 35 to 40. This week. the new ceiling is 42, for both active-duty Army or the part-time Army Reserve and National Guard.

Why I'm sure the homosexuals have been wrecking havoc throughout the military.  What with our "I wanna get married" whining and the whole obsession on retaining custody of our children.  Not to mention the fact that we insist on finding treatments and a cure for AIDS. 

I was going to make a snide little reference to slaughtering civilians, but then I realized that it is not necessary.  The stupidity of this policy and its infringement on our community's self-determination is the point.  If homosexuals want to be part of the military, they should be evaluated on their qualifications period. 

McCain is a loon.
