Military policy and legislation previously prohibited openly gay individuals from applying, but this policy was ended in September 2011 after the U.S. Congress voted to repeal the policy.<br />Homosexuals were officially prohibited from serving in the United States throughout its history. The first time "homosexual" people were differentiated from "normal" people in the military literature was in revised army mobilization regulations in 1942. Additional policy revisions in 1944 and 1947 further codified the ban. Throughout the next few decades, homosexuals were routinely discharged, regardless of whether they had engaged in sexual conduct while serving. In response to the gay rights movements of the 1970s and 1980s, the Department of Defense issued a 1982 policy (DOD Directive 1332.14) stating that homosexuality was clearly incompatible with military service. Controversy over this policy created political pressure: socially liberal efforts to repeal the ban and socially conservative efforts to enshrine it into law.<br /><br />from wikipidia..<br /><br /><br />So basically Ms T broke MANY laws for MANY years while collecting a government paycheck. <br /><br />Sounds like a pattern here....What is "Occupation"https://www.blogger.com/profile/08237879055691019968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-68228725530792919132011-10-10T15:27:52.684-04:002011-10-10T15:27:52.684-04:00"Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) w..."Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) was the official United States policy on homosexuals serving in the military from December 21, 1993 to September 20, 2011<br /><br /><br />Ronald Reagan was the 40th President of the United States (1981–1989), <br /><br />Teresita said...<br /><br />I joined the Navy in 1984 when I was almost nineteen.<br /><br /> Teresita said...<br />Don't Ask Don't Tell was shorthand for the policy of allowing gays and lesbians to serve in the US military without fear of a witch hunt<br /><br /><br /><br />"Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) was the official United States policy on homosexuals serving in the military from December 21, 1993 to September 20, 2011<br /><br /><br />So basically you lied, under oath, to the United States Armed Forces about your being a homosexual. <br /><br />wow.. what a stunning admission....What is "Occupation"https://www.blogger.com/profile/08237879055691019968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-52573330736640514062011-10-10T15:26:14.700-04:002011-10-10T15:26:14.700-04:00All that replaced by satellites.<a href="http://www.lswilson.ca/dewline.htm#J" rel="nofollow">All that</a> replaced by satellites.Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-44277275186742746462011-10-10T15:17:21.741-04:002011-10-10T15:17:21.741-04:00Ah, one of my favorite assignments , Thule Greenla...Ah, one of my favorite assignments , Thule Greenland.

Obama has shown no reluctance to spend on the military. The GOP candidates all seem to be willing to continue military spending at current levels or increase them.<br /><br />However, as Buchanan points out they have put themselves in a box with regard to the budget. Like Buchanan, I doubt the Supercommittee will agree on anything. That means the military will suffer massive cuts.<br /><br />All that being said, some of Buchanan's other views, well...<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-59648715116318219392011-10-10T13:35:58.077-04:002011-10-10T13:35:58.077-04:00I haven't been a "practicing" homose...<i>I haven't been a "practicing" homosexual since I turned seventeen, since 1982 was the year I got so damn good at it.</i><br /><br /><br /><br />ToucheMeLoDyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658982778792168451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-26267048757325466552011-10-10T13:35:48.326-04:002011-10-10T13:35:48.326-04:00.
