Ask Sen. Lincoln (D) and Sen. Pryor (D) too.

56/43 (Reid voted procedural nay to keep the legislation active)

96% of dems voted to repeal DADT.
100% of republicans filibustered.

That is sort of like when a service member loses their life people will say "we thank them for their service". Do they still say that if they are gay?

Today, they do not have to answer your question since only heterosexuals can die in our fighting forces. You do bring up a valid reason why DADT is still in effect since it removes that uncomfortable question.

Not pointed at anyone.

This issue is deeper than just say.

1 - Can gays fight or run <-- Not an issue
2 - Are gays better soldiers <-- not an issue

Sexually <-- thats the issue, has nothing to with with battle field performance.

The last military poll taken from service members - in general they don't like having to shower with gays or sharing very close quarters, like a fox hole. Otherwise they don't care.

I've been hit on by gays. A simple explanation that I'm hetero is sufficient and there is no problem after that. Knowing whether or not someone is gay doesn't change my bathing habits.

Since it is the last military poll and so quite recent perhaps you could create a link to this poll?

Please do not tell me to google. All I get is youtubes of some dudes singing YMCA wearing CSI jackets.

No, "they" are more discrete than that.

Sorry it was a blurb on CNN, not even sure if they keep a video on line?

Simply they don't care about gays in the military - just the close quarters stuff make them uncomfortable.
