Here we go again, the Army chief of staff says he’s not keen on gays in the military, and needs more time to figure out what to do.
Meanwhile, a couple of interesting reports.
One, of military forces in 25 countries that allow gays to serve, says that a rapid change in policy is the easiest way to integrate gays, and that there is no evidence whatever that having openly gay people in the military had a negative impact on readiness, morale, or recruitment.
Another says that America’s female soldiers are far likelier to be raped and sexually harassed than they are to die while serving in Iraq.
It’s difficult to understand why the Army’s being so ridiculous, perhaps it’s to distract attention from losing two wars.
As Gorilla says: “Welcome to the Pentagon: don’t ask us how we’re doing and we won’t tell you!”
