Straight Vets Pay The Price For Army Getting Rid Of Gay Troops
Nathaniel Frank
Many of the recalls of inactive soldiers could have been avoided if the Pentagon had not fired so many gay troops. Overall, the military has recalled 5,674 veterans since June, but has discharged 6,416 soldiers under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy since 1998.
2. I predict there are already some young bushes and cheneys in today's
military who have already this to get out of Iraq. That won't stop them from pursuing their careers in the GOP however. The issue will follow them their entire lives. The chicken hawks of the future will have some more explaining to do other than to simply say "I had other priorities."
