He claims to know shit about truth and honesty and he effectively lied for years instead of quitting the service?

So he is taking a stand on principle, and your bitch is that he didn't do it sooner?
Frankly, he's a disagrace to the country. He knows that we are vitally short on Arabic translators. Yet he chooses to bring to light something which he knows will get him kicked out, forced to take a cushy job in the private sector instead of defending our nation against its enemies.

For what? Because he thinks the policy's unjust?  What a pompous ass.

Just an explanation of Brain's post? :unsure:

Sorry, how did he "effectively lie?"  By following the "don't tell" part of the policy?

I must admit that it would be hard for anyone to "know shit about truth and honesty" and sit still for a policy that effectively disposes with both as inconvenient, nut I find it hard to understand how anyone could not see how that would grate on a truthful and honest person over time.

It grates on me, and I am not even gay, nor any longer in the military.  DADT is politics at its most ugly and its most detrimental to good order and discipline.  If I were a commander in chief, I would not tolerate it for one second.  Better the open bigotry of a "gays expelled the moment detected" than this pansy-assed pretense that the US military can simultaneously not survive having a single gay member and not survive kicking them out.

Frankly, his country is a disgrace to his service.  It doesn't deserve him.

Yes, fighting perceived unjustice is the mark of a pompous ass.  But supporting injustice is the mark of a pompous asshole.

Fuck him.  He's a traitor.

Of course, you love siding with America's enemies, so you'll defend this piece of shit with your dying breath.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

No. My "bitch" is that he comes across as a retarded moron.

Patton would know the correct way to deal with this pansy.

Btw, as I type this, I'm riding in my brother's car in Smokey Mountain National Forest, using my EVDO phone tethered to my netbook.  Technology is teh kool.
