Greetings, Men and Machines,

You can shrug your shoulders and allow the Leftists and homosexuals to destroy the U.S. Military and thereafter, American society, OR you can join the fight and roll DADT Repeal back.

Check out the FACEBOOK pages of RESTORE DADT for discussion and REINSTATE DADT for coordination and counter-action planning.

Our objective is to serve as rallypoints for all those interested in fighting the repeal.

For my own part, I am contacting the likes of the Alliance Defense Fund, Center for Military Readiness, Edmund Burke Institute for American Renewal, the Family Research Council, FRCAction, the Liberty Counsel / Freedom Federation, Save California, The Thomas More Law Center, as well as members of Congress, the new media and retired military.

We have the numbers. The only question is, do we have the will?

Semper Fi,

Rick Vee

So DADT will be in place for at least another 10 years – Obama’s remaining term, then the 2-term Republican president after him (no way is a Republican president going to sign off on a bill repealing DADT even if it does get passed).

AS Col. Householder put it so aptly:
“The Army is not a sociological laboratory; to be effective it must be organized and trained according to the principles which will insure success. Experiments to meet the wishes and demands of the champions of every race and creed for the solution of their problems are a danger to efficiency, discipline and morale and would result in ultimate defeat.”

I’m sure many here would agree.

I am of the opinion that very many of the gay servicemembers would indeed be able to perform in a manner consistent with the highest standards of the service.

My real concern is the Diversity Industry would have a field day.

Further, I do not see that the repeal of DADT would benefit the force to an extent that would outweigh the disruption caused.

If it doesn’t help the fight, why do it?

The way I see it this is just another battle like allowing photo ops at Dover. Once that was reversed how many photographers are at Dover showing flagged draped coffins? It’s all PC.

Listen to the boots on the ground, if they want DADT reversed then do it, if they don’t then leave the policy as it is. They are the ones that will have to deal and live w/the changes. Sometimes the best thing is to leave well enough alone.

I have enjoyed BlackFive since its inception. I agree with all the statements in Uncle Jimbo’s introduction to this issue, up to the conclusion.

The only point of disagreement is the issue of privacy. In all my conversations with service members, showering and sleeping is a major issue. Most equate this with women showering with men.

The current policy allows anyone to serve. The only people being excluded have excluded themselves, seemingly for political reasons.

The Military does not seem to pursue. Sex of any kind is out of bounds.

This present policy was a difficult compromise to fashion but it seems the only policy that gives everyone some degree of acceptance.

I definitely do not feel that this president is making this change because he has any respect for the institution of the Military. To him, it is clearly payback for the political support of the gay community. (As is the nomination of Elena Kagan. It seems that a Justice Kagan will push for protected status for homosexuality of all persuasions.)

Perhaps it would be best to wait for a Commander in Chief that seems to have the best intentions of the Military at heart.
