Just Do It
What a bunch of old drama queens at DOD. Apparently now they're saying lifting the ban on gays in the military could take years and years. All we're talking about here is ending a witch hunt, which is what DADT is. Just do it.
No. Shuddup. Just. Do. It.

None of our allies who allow gays to serve segregate them or treat them any differently than straight troops. AND THAT'S THE POINT, BITCHES. Stop flattering yourselves that our heart's desire is to ogle you in the shower and rape you in your barracks. I mean, please! Enough with the straight boy fantasies of gay seduction!
Gays are soooo picky, especially where there are tons of them and they're out. Trust me. I live in gay old Boston. No one is getting laid. It's just like the military. Everyone's jerking off.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates, in a speech last year at the Army War College in Carlisle, Pa., whinged: "I believe this is something that needs to be done very, very carefully."
But you're wrong, Gates. Stop edging. It's like you're building up to this big money shot, but it's gonna be such a huge letdown when nothing happens. Trust me, bitches. I know.
Man up. Just do it.
Unfortunately and frustratingly, Les Obamas do that with issue after issue. Instead of driving things forward (as their campaign and voter mandate would justify) they're hemming and hawing and keep watering things down until they don't taste good to anybody.

I was reading the AP account of Adm. Mike Mullen's statement today in favor of repealing DADT, which the journalists characterized as a "volatile issue", even though polls consistently show that even conservatives (John McCain notwithstanding) are in favor of gays serving openly in the military -- even (according to Gallup) as far back as '04, and overwhelming majority wanted the ban lifted. Where's the controversy here?
