Reply #40: Bullshit, dsc! There was no law barring gays from military back then! [View All]

All Clinton had to do was to issue an executive order, just as Truman did to integrate the militay. Prior to that, gays were serving in the military and people looked the other way (I should know that, since I served!).

Because of Clinton's dismal failure to deal with LGBT rights, and his appointment of the equally inept Les Aspin as SecDef, the Republicans passed a law barring LGBTs from serving, the odious "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

Women in uniform were forced to consent to sex under the threat of being reported as being lesbians if they didn't do so. That's part of the Clinton legacy!
