Will the http://www.pamshouseblend.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6237">doyenne of discrimination, Elaine 'forcible sodomy' Donnelly, of the The Center for Military Readiness, ever realize what http://www.pamshouseblend.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6237">a fool she made of herself during the recent Armed Services personnel subcommittee hearing?

She forges on, oblivious to the fact that her unhinged testimony managed to get a write up in the http://www.pamshouseblend.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6243">WaPo and a scorch by http://www.pamshouseblend.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6307">The Daily Show. In a http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/chi-oped0814gayaug14,0,5487863.story">Chicago Tribune op-ed, she paints a horrifying picture of life in the military if Don't Ask, Don't Tell is repealed.

This would be tantamount to forcing female soldiers to cohabit with men at all times, regardless of the impact on discipline and morale. Stated in gender-neutral terms, in conditions of "forced intimacy," people will be exposed to people who may be sexually attracted to them. Sexual tension of any kind is inherently disruptive, but those affected would have no recourse, short of leaving or avoiding the military altogether.

The military does not do things halfway. Following historic precedent, officials will issue orders giving special, unprecedented rights to professed homosexuals, and enforce a corollary policy of "zero tolerance" of anyone who disagrees. Complaints about inappropriate, passive or aggressive actions conveying a homosexual message or approach, short of physical touching and assault, could be met with career-killing presumptions and counter-accusations questioning the motives of the complainant. In messy, emotionally charged disputes, commanders who side against homosexuals could be accused of "intolerance" that violates the zero-tolerance policy.

And no one has explained how this radical cultural change would improve discipline, morale or readiness.

Huh? We're back to the predatory homosexual argument. She still hasn't managed to respond to the fact that there are already heterosexual men raping fellow women in the service? Oh, that's right - she doesn't want women in the military either. Steve Ralls @ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-ralls/elaine-donnellys-radical_b_119891.html">HuffPost:

First and foremost, Ms. Donnelly's arguments seem to be made with no knowledge of, or expertise in, the Uniform Code of Military Justice or other rules of conduct within the armed forces. If a straight colleague is harassed by a gay service member, she proclaims, they "would have no recourse, short of leaving or avoiding the military altogether."

In fact, the truth is that the UCMJ prohibits such behavior, period, regardless of whether it is same-sex or opposite-sex conduct. Advocates of allowing gay Americans to serve openly have consistently, and always, advocated applying conduct rules and regulations to every soldier, sailor, airman and Marine equally. Repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" doesn't give anyone a pass for unacceptable conduct. It simply means everyone gets treated - and punished - the same.

1. well just because a man is able to kill a complete stranger

in cold blood doesn't mean he could withstand another man making kissy-noises at him! we'd be defenseless!
