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."

Depends on whom you ask. I am sure there are some Americans who, if not breathing, would rather die than have a gay person give them CPR.

The main reason given for "Don't Ask Don't Tell" is morale. It would wreck morale to have breeders confined in close quarters and/otr showering with a person who they know to be gay. I would think that once you rise to the rank of being a translator, that is no longer an issue. (I don't think translators sleep 3-4 to a bed.)

Finally, of the soldiers who have been discharged who were in Iraq, most of their fellow soldiers did not want them to go. Some of the superiors even cried at having to discharge them. We're just holding onto this ridiculous policy for the same reason we're stayiong in Iraq--the ones in charge do not want to admit how wrong it is.

it truly is my options on the problem. Christians are with the help of a ways the most aggressive faith. Ever. no longer unavoidably contained in the violent experience, yet needs human beings to rework(typically with the help of violent potential). at the same time as they see gay marriage, they see sin. the problem they're having with outlawing different sins, is that church and state will be save separate. it truly is contained in the structure, and stops the Christian church from ruling u . s .. notwithstanding, because 70%+ of u . s . are Christians, They do get with the help of with imposing their believes, in basic terms see you later as they're particularly hidden. it truly is what i imagine is the most glaring clarification, considering that different then the sin stuff, there is no actual reason to prohibit it. they comprise different motives to cover in the back of, yet they carry no water. desire this allows Edit: † Gabriel †, How does making the marriage between one guy and female no longer outlawing gay marriage? i'm sorry notwithstanding it extremely is the most idiotic element I have ever heard all and sundry heavily say. Wow, After analyzing those solutions, i'm formally disgusted with the help of u . s .. i respect the options, the principals, yet i'm now seeing u . s . isn't what it says. Calling gay Marriage a sin is defying between the biggest elements of u . s .; non secular freedom. it really is contained in the worst type too, no longer expressing your own beliefs, yet in basic terms no longer desirous to might want to regulate to different beliefs. particular, if it become only a Christian element, which this isn't any longer, it will be alright to prohibit gay marriage because it is going antagonistic to their faith, yet there are ideal that married couples have. once you position authorities rights right into a religious even, the church might want to provide up some administration over it to maintain non secular freedom. Secondly, this isn't any longer organic! So what? i respect u . s . because this is the land of the loose. meaning we would want to continuously have a lot freedom as achieveable. some rights we wouldn't have, like killing, stealing, issues that shouldn't be in a society. yet some thing that isn't damage others, i have self assurance might want to be legal. why? because i position self assurance in FREEDOM.i wager all you homophobes do not even with the reality that.... regrettably you homophobes makes up maximum of u . s .. because of this i'm disgusted.

I think the optimal word in this entire thing is "Arab". We can't afford, at this point in history, to take the chance - period! I would much rather a gay AMERICAN BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES work for the Pentagon instead.

Have a gay person help. It amazes me that we still have these pea-brains that think a person's sexual orientation has any relevance as to how they do their job. Call me stupid but I always thought skill and ability were more important than who a person sleeps with.
