Senate PASSES repeal of DADT

[amanda6035]

I have nothing but the highest respect for our military, but some of the individuals who serve are complete nut jobs. Yes, I can think of at least a handful of folks that I worked with personally, completely immature, closed-minded wackos, who are probably pitching a hissy fit about this repeal right now. "Oh my god - that guy likes other guys, and i have to sleep in a berthing with him?" nevermind the fact that he's already been doing that for months and months already and nothing has happened. Just because they are allowed to serve openly doesn't mean he's going to hit on you!

Another thing is that as a female in the military - my modesty went out the window....after having a wide open shower area in boot camp, you kind of lose all sense of modesty. In fact, when I got to college and went to the gym on campus, I would be in the gym just changing like it was no big deal, and as I looked around I realized other ladies were going into the bathroom stalls to change, rather than by the lockers, which I thought was weird.

Again, I dont know why, they've already been serving with gay personnel for however many years now, but somehow, the knowledge of it changes the dynamics....I mean, if it didn't, there would have never been a DADT, right? It's the knowledge of knowing they are there - not the fact that they actually are. Because if that were the case, DADT would have never been enacted - anybody who was gay would just not be allowed to serve at all.
