Top Ten Ranked West Point Cadet Resigns Over Don’t Ask Don’t Tell - Lez Get Real

Holy snappers...... are you super high on your pic?

so you like Adriana Lima....... I personally like Cherokke D'ass

Do you think that in 30-50 yrs from now robots will replace humans in all labor.... hence no work for humans anymore?

I know all of this is irrelevant.

no i was sober but i'm not photogenic, although you look pretty high in your pic

actually it's our loss completely. how can this be seen as a gain in any way shape or form? that's one less soldier fighting for us

Our gain. One unfocused person does not make an Army.

lol unfocused? how so?

anyone willing to worry about who is blowing who when they're battle is off duty is unfocused. she's doing what is right.

I say 'unfocused' because the mission at hand is not her sexuality.

As far as DADT, I am for whatever the Generals want. Beyond that I can care less what anyone else feels about the matter. They have to make rules that benefir the mission and not worry about PC crap.

There is NO draft and she was not forced into this uncomfortable situation. She made her own decision. There are many ways to serve your country in peace and time of war outside the rules of the military. She should focus on those areas if she feels uncomfortable.

"I say 'unfocused' because the mission at hand is not her sexuality."

that's the point she and most rational thinkers are trying to get across. her sexuality shouldn't have any bearing on her service. and it is a breach of integrity. we can't claim integrity and then lie about simple shit like our personal lives.

"There is NO draft and she was not forced into this uncomfortable situation."

maybe she lost someone in sep. 11th and felt that it was her duty. maybe her love for this country runs so deep that she is willing to give her life for it. maybe she needed money for college. the economy's gone to shit, maybe she needed a job. who she is attracted to is a non-issue when it comes to service

"repeal doesn't mean the mission changes," I never came out for or against the current rule and of course the mission doesn't change.

I consider anyone who fights in our armed forces a hero.

My last comments were more in regards to knowing the current rules and the individual decision one has to make prior to signing the piece of paper.

I thank Cadet Miller for the brief service but I am not goinf to say the Military is worse off without her. She chose her road.

I don’t doubt your assumptions but still currently the rule is the rule. You talk about integrity as if it’s only an arrow pointing one direction. Integrity is an arrow pointing in all directions. You may have a concern of institutional integrity in this case but you also have to look at individual integrity.

To use your example “maybe she needed money for college” What type integrity must a person have to gain free institutional education with on one hand and then stab that institution in the back with the other?

Again the Military is not the only way to serve or defend this country.

"What type integrity must a person have to gain free institutional education with on one hand and then stab that institution in the back with the other?"

how did she stab it in the back? she did say once the policy is changed she would come back. if anything the policy stabbed her, me, anyone who is lgbt, and anyone who serves along side anyone who is lgbt in the back. (if you're keeping track, that's everyone).

"Again the Military is not the only way to serve or defend this country."

and? that's the path she choose. just like i did when i was in jrotc. what you do in your off time has nothing to do with your service (unless you get married). this is an outdated policy and it needs to end. and i'm behind Katherine Miller 100% in her decision. she has more balls than me

"if anything the policy stabbed her....in the back" It takes special person to walk into a knife knowing its there. This rule didn't suddenly 'pop' up behind the shadows. It was out in the open.

Me personally, I don't care the sexual orientation of who serves in our military but to quote BHO "That decision is beyond may paygrade". I leave that decision to those in charge of the Military - beyond the Comander in Chief.

It takes no "balls" but a "pussy" to quit anything.

"It takes no "balls" but a "pussy" to quit anything."

lol, seriously? there is no good reason to quit anything? like standing up for yourself?

I am not sure if you are understanding my point. A person is free to join or not joining the Military knowing full well what the rules and consequences are soin the end she quit.

Standing up for yourself is not joining in the first place if the rules and consequences do not fit your lifestyle, (right or wrong).

We are a country of FREE choice and rule of law. They do not conflict each other as long as the rule of law is publicized as it is in this situation. We can't expect those rule to change just because they donot fit an individual situation.

"I leave that decision to those in charge of the Military - beyond the Comander in Chief."

The buck stops at the Commander in Chief

You are right the buck does stop at the CiC but most have never been on a Military base except for campaigning or as President. A Comander in Chief would make a decision like this based on Politics and polls and not the actual needs of the military.

doesn't matter if a president hasn't ever been on a military base. We have a civilian government not a military one. FDR wasn't in the military and he led us thru WWII. Your obsession with Obama has clouded your logical facilities.

It has nothing to do with Obama. It has everything to do with who is suited to make that decision.

"We are a country of FREE choice and rule of law."

she has free choice to join, and she has free choice to leave in protest of the policy.

You are right on with that but when people respond making her out to be the greatest thing that ever hit our military and she will be a big loss that required me to step in.

People quit the Military all the time for all sorts of policy reasons. She is nothing new.

"when people respond making her out to be the greatest thing that ever hit our military and she will be a big loss that required me to step in."

actually you were the one that started in on her.

"Her loss our gain."

i'm just saying

"People quit the Military all the time for all sorts of policy reasons."

hopefully there will be one less fucked up policy for people to quit for!

"You are right on with that but when people respond making her out to be the greatest thing that ever hit our military and she will be a big loss that required me to step in."

No one did, my over-exaggerating chum, so there was no need for you to step in. To say she was good or an asset is not the same as the greatest thing unless your thesaurus is malfunctioning

oh, bull it has everything to do with Obama with the likes of you. Just look at your avatar. You're not fooling anyone, pal

You have a problem of seperating issues. DADT has nothing to do with Obama. I if you knew me 2,5,10.20 years ago you would understand that.
