Look, yes I know I have never severed a day in the military. That a cyst on my backside prevented me from serving at eighteen and years of defending my church here in Iowa have left me to old to join the military but that is besides the point. IN PRINCIPLE I was in the military the entire time. IN PRINCIPLE I was there fighting next to our brave servicemen as the fought against the Islamic hordes in Iraq and that other country. IN PRINCIPLE I have been at war for the last nine years and have seen a lot of hard fighting in places like Fallujah.
So now they want to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. The one thing that has been stopping gays from openly dying for our country. They supposedly asked the servicemen and their families and they all said they have no problem with it. Well excuse me! When was I asked MY opinion on the matter. After all these years of service with the Army and the Marines IN PRINCIPLE I think I get entitled to an opinion.
This is a matter of PRINCIPLE. People like me who have been there for the last ten years cheering the troops on are being tossed the curb side with the same excuse "no one gives a shit if their squad mate is gay." That's all the thanks I GET for my years of IN PRINCIPLE service to the country.
I don't recognize America anymore.
