...because military service is all about helping people pursue their dreams, not about defending the republic...

Btw, "don't ask, don't tell" was a Trojan horse, like concealed carry laws are. Originally, homosexuals were banned from military service, and if you were found out, you got a dishonorable discharge (if you were lucky). Then came "don't ask, don't tell", which allowed homosexuals to serve provided they didn't openly proclaim their sex proclivities (no matter how much their actual *actions* demonstrated their sexual proclivities). Then they got that repealed... so did we return to the default state? No! We "progressed" involuntarily into allowing open homosexuals to serve.

(with concealed carry, everyone celebrates a loosening of unConstitutional gun control laws, ignoring that such restrictions are themselves unConstitutional; then concealed carry laws are expanded to "allow" open carry, and Bob's your uncle, one day you have gun control laws requiring you to pay for shooting lessons before you can exercise your 2nd Amendment rights, and be sanctioned (and tracked) by the state in order to do so.

Sorry, Trojan horse social engineering doesn't work with me anymore.

LOL... I think Eddie Izzard is hilarious. He's also a male heterosexual with a cross-dressing fetish (which, according to him, annoys his wife from time to time).

Another example of the brainwashed hypocrisies we've come to accept. A man puts on a frock and/or high heels, it's *weird*. But women go around wearing men's clothes (jeans, t-shirts, etc) all the time and nobody thinks it's weird anymore.
