GOP Rep: Repealing 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Would Open Military's Doors To Hermaphrodites
| Quote: | In an interview on NPR's All Things Considered yesterday, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) warned that repealing the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy would not only be bad for cohesiveness and unity -- it would also open the military's doors "to transgenders, to hermaphrodites."
Talking about the military, Hunter said, "there has to be a special bond there, and I think that bond is broken if you open up the military to transgenders, to hermaphrodites, to gays and lesbians." |

How will they be able to take orders if they got two sets of generals?

Saxby Chambliss has his own list of concerns:
| Quote: | At the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing today on the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) expressed his concern that repealing the rule would pave the way for allowing “alcohol use, adultery, fraternization, and body art” in the military — and that the army must “exclude persons whose presence in the armed forces would create unacceptable risk to the armed forces’ high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion.”
Chambliss acknowledged that while the military enforces “restrictions on personal behavior that would not be acceptable in civilian society,” it “must maintain policies that exclude persons whose presence in the armed forces would create unacceptable risk to the armed forces’ high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion.”
“In my opinion,” he said, “the presence in the armed forces of persons who demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts would very likely create an unacceptable risk to those high standards.”
Why, if gays are allowed into the military, Chambliss said, soon the armed forces will allow all sorts of other things.
Like what?
“Alcohol use, adultery, fraternization, and body art,” said Chambliss. |

Body art?
Isn't it like... customary to get a tattoo when you are in the military?

I think Saxby Chambliss has mad cow disease AND alzheimers. Like both at the same time.

Did Saxby ever serve in the military? All four of those things he mentions were regular activities when I was in the Army. And that was way back in the '70s.
