Senator Levin starts off interviewing a gay soldier who was forced to leave the military then starts a discussion with General John Sheehan who is against repealing DADT.

A few links.

Dutch officials call Sheehan’s theory blaming gay soldiers for the Srebrenica massacre ‘complete nonsense.’

1. At least Sterling Hayden was tongue-in-cheek, THIS guy's just head-up-ass!

"Homo's caused Srebreniza" is akin to "purity of essence"

i bet his nickname is "Moose".

3. Thanks Sen. Levin for making it obvious how wrong and ridiculous this

discrimination is.

4. he did a good job trapping the guy

not once but a few times. I was surprised General Sheehan was so unsavvy, he walked right into it. Levin forced him to basically say he was pro-discrimination and double standards.
