DADT

I think the military should all people of any sexual orientation in. But don't give them any special treatment either. If something were to happen to them because of their orientation, than the person who commited the act of violence or whatever should be dealt with accordingly.

Easier said then done lol! You don't have much contact with actual military do you ?

Obviously none.

To think that hazing doesn't exist still is absolutely absurd, things will be handled... and like most things they'll be handled at the lowest rank availible to handle it.

Hazing exists, and for a very important reason IMO.  If you can't handle your drill sergeant and fellow servicepeople calling you names, how can you face it when the enemy does?  If you're going to whine about someone being mean to you, you don't belong in the service.

Something we completely agree upon, Matt.  Are you shocked?

Not at all, while we have differing opinions, most of them are semi inline in the grand scheme of things. What we want to see happen might obtain through different ways, but I think we both want the best country we can have. Plus you're extremely intelligent and make well thoughtout posts. They might differ yet we still can at least argue in a way that doesn't reduce either of us to name calling.
