Screw "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".


Yes, I'm using this comic again. I really think it's cute and it saves me the hours of drooling on my keyboard looking for pictures of hot dykes in uniform. But I digress...

On Monday over 100 retired admirals and generals called for a repeal of the ludicrous "don't ask, don't tell" policy that prevents queers from being honest while serving in the military. Because really, why would we value things like honesty?

The move by the military veterans confronts the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama with a thorny political and cultural issue that dogged former President Bill Clinton early in his administration.

"As is the case with Great Britain, Israel, and other nations that allow gays and lesbians to serve openly, our service members are professionals who are able to work together effectively despite differences in race, gender, religion, and sexuality," the officers wrote.

Well over 12 000 people have been discharged from the military since 1994 under this disgusting policy of bigotry. Now, Obama, let's get this repealed post hast, yes?
