CONSPIRACY NOT

Let's take a look at DADT.

The repeal.

"It is moving too slowly" say (or scream) some gay activists.

"It has to move the way it moves" say the Obama Administration and the Congress as well as the Pentagon.

Therein lies the tension.

There is a lot of over the top rhetoric on the gay side.

It is mostly embarrassing and, as is often the case, grounded in a victim mentality which is not the way to get shit done.

Mark Ambinder has a nice rundown here.

Gay Activists v. The White House: The Inside Story

I have been in the military and gay. I didn't tell. I hardly knew myself.

I did have gay experiences while on active duty.

Well, on the weekend breaks.

No one talked about it then and we wouldn't talk about it now if it happened again.

Partly because it was no one's business and still is not.

When you pick a man (or a woman) up at a bar or meet someone who has the eye for you, it is unlikely that you or the other are going to "tell". You are just going to "do".

Most of the telling is by exes and jealous onlookers. Vendetta stuff.

It is nasty.

As for the shower room, has anyone worried about this ever taken a shower in a barracks? Please.
