I'm anxiously awaiting for embryonic stem ressearch to find the cure for abnormal human sexual orientation!

Here is the thig, OBAMA GANG is not acting as promised, nor as expected for this is the CHICAGO CORRUPTED POLITICAL WAY (more corrupted and pathetic than the" normal" way politicians behavior)
We should not expect positive progress for our country as long ENEMIES OF THE STATE ARE THERE AT HELM.WE NEED TO REMOVE THEM AND REPLACE THEM WITH INDIVIDUALS OF GOOD CHARACTER, INTEGRITY, HONESTY , AND COMMON SSNSE.INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO GIVE A GOOD FIGHT TO PROTECT OUT GREAT COUNTRY AT ANY GIVEN TIME WITHOUT HESITATION.
This type of individual cannnot be found in the present OBAMA GANG CORRUPTED, ANTI-AMERICAN, TRRORISTS FRIENDL ORIENTED ADMINSTRATION.
Good day everone,

Susan,

I am a conservative but I enjoy reading your columns because you are not over bearing on your point of view and I learn some things. But, I take strong exception to your position on gays in the military. People don't have a right to serve in the military, first they have to pass physical, mental, phsyiological tests to even be considered. I served 30 years in the Navy with many years aboard ship where close quarters were the norm. Team work, a feeling of belonging of where the whole is much larger than the pieces that make up the whole was so important. Good order and discipline was paramount to mission accomplishment. The mission was often dangerous where split second decisions saved lives or lost lives. If the "team" isn't a "well oiled machine" obeying orders takes longer than a split second. There is no room for doubt. The "team" is usually a cross section of all parts of the country and averages 19 years old, bonding is crucial to success. Personally I don't care one's sexual orientation and that is the way it should be and, therefore, i support "Don't ask, Don't Tell". It my experience aboard ship that once a person's gay orientation is known by the crew members, a crack in the "well-oiled team" becomes reality and successfull mission accomplishment becomes harder to achieve. Some say the answer is additional training and awareness, again in my opinion, training can only accomplish so much...besides you can't provide training for every "exception" known to man.
The military is special vocation, it is not for everyone...the leadership should be able to pick the best and brightest and not have to worry about every socioeconomic piece of society. The price is too high, safety of the American people is costly.

Susan--
I served my country for 2 years.
(Which I'm guessing was about 730 days more than you served your country.)

I suggest you take a survey of the men in today's Armed Forces.
The Question?
"Every man here who want to shower with a fag-----take one step forward"
I know how that survey would have gone when I served.
Because I used to sign my name: Robert Glazebrook, 1st LT. ,Artillery, Battery Commander
