Lawmakers who say the military has kicked out 58 Arabic language experts because they were gay want the Pentagon to explain how it can afford to let the valuable specialists go.
Seizing on the latest discharge, involving three specialists, House members wrote the House Armed Services Committee chairman on Wednesday that the continued loss of such "capable, highly skilled Arabic linguists continues to compromise our national security during time of war."
So how many American deaths are worth it to keep the military "fag free"?
Do we really think that a soldier who is getting ready to raid a building in Baghdad, and desperately hoping that they got the proper intelligence, gives a shit whether the guy that translated the information is gay or not? I seriously doubt that he could give a rat's ass if that information would get him back home to his family in one piece.
This policy is ridiculous and it is obvious that it is going to be changed in the near future. Our attitudes about homosexuals has evolved in this country and it is past time that our military catch up.
