Military ban on gay service declared unconstitutional

[Cobhanglica]

The military is more then a job it is a set of federal benefits, I personally will have extracted over 120,000 dollars over 5 years in educational benefits.

The military does NOT exist to give you money, it exists to defend this nation and its interests. That's another problem with today's military; people have forgotten that the first and foremost job of a soldier is to fight.

Even gays can get in on the imperialist gangbang. Hoo-fucking-rah.

And how does this ruling affect that? Surely increasing the recruitment pool is a good thing?

Actually, it's to get the materiel to those who do fight, in modern militaries.

Lots of people ave problems serving with gays. Squad beating shouldn't be ruled out, for example.

Lots of people had problems serving with black people too.

14th Amendment only applies to state infringements of rights.

And DADT is the State infringing upon the rights of gays to serve in the military.

But that definition of yours is bullshit anyway. The Fourteenth Amendment also covers the naturalisation of people born in the country. It also sets up the Executive Branch, some, and covers public debt.

The 1st Amendment does protect freedom of speech, but you also must take into consideration the fact that that right is already abridged by the military as it sees fit to ensure discipline and order.

One's sexual orientation is an off-duty question.

The veteran has always held a special place in society, and has always received special benefits from the government.
These benefits having been codified, along with a military service contract means they are just that benefits that can be earned from the government for service rendered.

IF you like lets remove these benefits, and still deny gays the right to serve, given you wont have a military any more but hey he the price for thinking with a mind from the middle ages.

That's a matter of opinion.

And you just said that to a member of the armed forces. Congratulations for not understanding that the military protects its own, regardless of who that person is.

As an individualist I tend to view extracting money as vital.

I don't hate our troops. I hate the people who join for the money and completely forget about the whole "going to war" aspect of military service.

I'm sure that's so easy to do, too, forget about the war part. Especially in boot camp, which I hear is just picnics and dances and all sorts of frolicking.

Militaries shouldn't 'go' to war, they should be for defence. Like, you know, the Department of Defence.

No the "Department of DefenCe" is part of the Interior Department, I think. *nod*

Defending the nation and its interests may require the military to go to war sometimes. Defense is more than just standing around the border and watching for invading armies.

There's a 'c' in defence. And the US is big enough that you shouldn't need to invade others to make them conform to your values.

"Defense" is the American spelling. It's legitimate, albeit stupid.
