More idiocy. So, do you think this DADT thing will ever stop?

Coming out may cost ROTC student

Port Washington High School graduate Sara Isaacson worked for the past eight years toward the goal of becoming an Army doctor like her grandfather. She said she knew she was giving up that dream when she made the decision in January to tell the leader of her Army ROTC program that she is a lesbian.

The University of North Carolina senior's decision might also cost her $79,265.14 - the price of seven semesters of out-of-state tuition, books and others expenses, all paid for by an Army ROTC scholarship.

I guess we need another study.

1. More studies needed!

By the time they are done with all these "studies" the data will be enough to fill the hole in the ozone!

Presuming they are actually doing any "studies" at all...

2. maybe the CIC will send her a donnie mcclurkin cd and a condolence note nt

3. Maybe if Donnie prays the gay out of her, she can go back in the Army. n/t

4. Obama could care less about it

Spineless wimp that he is.

5. I'm going to write something really unpopular here...

First off, there is no reason for that girl to have joined the military if she genuinely had these concerns.

Secondly, and this is really important- and people are overlooking it- that girl knew what DADT was and meant when she decided to out herself to her commander. There is not a shadow of doubt in my mind that young lady knew that meant no more military career. And can we look at her college price tag? 80,000 dollars is not a sophmore people- that young girl was at the end of her college career. Kind of convenient to get yourself removed from the military now after they paid for your education? Am I the only person that raises an eyebrow at that last part?

I'm half convinced, albeit no one here really knows all the specifics, that she was trying to get out of a contract after having gotten the military to put her through school.

Repeal DADT. :/
