Furor Over Gays in Military
Since when does a draft dodger, who never served a day in our nation’s armed forces, have the audacity to browbeat the military into accepting gays and lesbians? Clinton is displaying the same contempt for his country that he did when he ran away to England and Russia to avoid the draft.
For the sole purpose of garnering votes in the presidential race, he was willing to sacrifice the well-being of the armed forces to win the support of the homosexual community. He probably got the majority of the gay vote--but he should remember he received only a minority of the votes of all the people.
As a combat veteran and member of the majority who didn’t vote for Clinton, I am mad as hell about his political interference with something he knows nothing about and cares less.
