DADT is a threat to national security.

If you live in America, that means it's a threat to your security. Not a little fucking pet issue, but life or death...maybe yours.

Do you really want to take a chance of being one of the unlucky ones affected by a bioweapon or radiation because there's a backlog of translating of intercepted info to be done because they have to keep firing BLTGs?

A leader in a time of war should not compromise battle readiness in an attempt to appease crazy people. Can we at least agree on that?

2. Radiation?
Mounted on a helicopter?



And as far as biowar, as I have said before, threats against billions does not change what is correct or wrong.

3. Having military bases all over the world threatens national security.
But you make a good point about why DADT is dumb.

4. That's a no-brainer
We've been discharging dedicated troops in critical jobs only because of DADT. And those we're losing often are among the most exceptional troops we have. What part of exceptional don't they understand?

5. More like, misinterpret
These highly skilled, motivated troops are the exception when it comes to stop-loss.
