DADT RIP

I hope that the implementation of DADT's demise will be mostly a non-event for the military. I certainly don't want the victimist antics of gay activism to become an issue there. I hope that gay men and women who want to become part of the military will be able to do so without fear of censure for who they are, as long as they behave as everyone else is expected to behave.

It will be a pleasure especially to see homosexual men who, as themselves, become visible parts of the proud traditions of our military. To put it bluntly, I hope that this new situation will promote the masculinization of gay men, not the gaying of the military. Fingers crossed.

And it will be fascinating to see what the elite universities and highminded localities like SF do, who have rejected ROTC and military recruiting (supposedly) because of DADT. Ball's in your court. Of those places especially is the famous Orwellian saying apt: "Good people sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
