TEH GAY....Discharges of gay men and women in the military were up last year:

The number of military members discharged under the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on homosexuals rose by 11% last year, the first increase since 2001, officials said Wednesday.

A Pentagon spokeswoman, Lt. Col. Ellen Krenke, said 726 service members were discharged under the policy during the 2005 budget year that ended Sept. 30. That compares with 653 discharges the year before.

It's a good thing thing we're not at war, isn't it? Or at least, not in a war serious enough to care more about winning than about ridding our armed forces of dreaded homosexuals.

(Actually, if there's a bright side to this, it's that 726 is still well below the peak of 1000+ that was normal before 9/11. Apparently the Army really is more willing to overlook your sexual orientation when they have a pressing need for more front line cannon fodder.)

I wonder if this is related to stop-loss. For some people, the easiest way out of Iraq may be to declare yourself a homosexual.

Who said that Iraq and Vietnam have nothing in common?

"Don't ask, don't tell" is of course a ridiculous, unfortunate craven political compromise that likely has done more harm than good. That said, statistics like these are really not too useful and don't really tell the whole story of what is likely happening. If you are seriously regretting your decision to enlist in the army, there are very few things you can do about it. Going AWOL is tantamount to treason and logistically difficult when you are in the middle of Iraq. But if you claim to be gay, there are a host of negative consequences for you, but there is the one big positive of letting you go home. Just as enlisted marriage rates are believed to be artificially high because married soldiers are allowed to live off-base and extend valuable benefits to spouses, other poorly thought out military regulations cause other unintended, statistic-skewing results.

Actually, for service men and women who don't want to get stuck in Iraq asking and telling might be an increasingly attractive option.

Posted by: Stefan on May 25, 2006 at 11:28 AM | PERMALINK

If I was stuck in the National Guard and being stoplossed...and I was about to do another tour in Iraq...I would march down to the CO's office in hose and heels and a red dress (with matching pumps and purse of course) and ask him out for a drink. Either I would get out of the Guard or at least I would get some free drinks from the CO.

I am surprised Dubya didn't try this when his number came up.

I must imagine that the military brass have also recognized the usefulness of this tactic and have instituted some safeguards against people lying about same-sex habits just to get out of the Army. Stigma alone doesn't suffice in the age of IEDs and stop-loss.

How do the trolls' thought processes work on this one? Can they even process the morality of a gay person being heroic? If a solider kills an islamofascist while simultaneously coming out of the closet, would Jonah Goldberg's head explode?

OK so how does the army confirm the homosexuality of the troops they dismiss? Seriously. They obviously go to great lengths to keep people in service, including the mentally handicapped and seriously injured. So what is the "test"?

The policy on gays helps illluminate the odd value system held by many Americans.
http://www.pollingreport.com/values.htm

Apparently most Americans believe that "Homosexual relations" are morally wrong. However, most Americans think sex outside of marriage or having a baby outside of wedlock is morally acceptable. Large majorities say the death penalty is morally acceptible and suicide is morally wrong.

I think it is also unusual that roughly 2/3 of Americans think cloning animals is morally wrong.
Bottom line, rationality has little to do with underlies this beliefs and the policies that flow from them.

Once again you completely miss the point. Putting homosexuals up against the insurgents in Iraq would be a huge blow to our credibility and would make us look week in the eyes of our enemies. But I guess you liberals would rather worry about gay rights than victory.

Now let's bring American Hawk back in and see what he wrote. Each pair of matching answers is with five points, and whichever couple has the most points in this round wins the Amana washer/dryer combo!

Common typographical error of "the".

I believe it originated on fark.com. Or maybe not. Who knows? Google "teh" and see what the oldest record is?

I had the good fortune to meet a lot of the people in my daughter's unit before they left for Iraq a couple of years ago. One officer was quite openly gay and no one was making any noise about getting rid of her (I'm happy to say). Being the homo that I am, I asked her if she had thought of using it as an excuse to get out of Iraq and she felt strongly about her military career and wanted to stay. As long as you kiss the asses of the higher-ups, they can overlook anything. Apparently, though, if you're a drug addict, the military doesn't mind a bit if you stay. What's a little impaired judgment among friends with M-16s?

On the other hand, I know a woman who was a career military officer of 20+ years who had (and still has) a lifelong relationship with another (former) career officer. They kept their relationship a secret for many years, through separate deployments and stations, but when some underling caught wind of their involvment, they were forced out of the military because this person was so morally indignant. Their exemplary service records mattered very little when they fought the dismissal.

It's a tough thing to negotiate. I wish all gay people would refuse to fight Georgie and the Homophobes' war, but if that's the only way "up" for someone professionally, I sure don't feel like they should put being gay before being financially solvent.

I with Craigie, and have always wondered about 'teh' (and it always seems to be 'teh gay', although there is a takeout indonesian place 'teh Palace' on Piedmont Rd. in Atlanta..)
I know plenty of gay exSoliders (several Marines among them) all of whom got honorable discharges. One former Sargent (now quite a good painter and Art Restorer) has his Marine training yearbook from the '80, and a more homoerotic (if repressed)document you can't imagine...
And the fallacy of "Don't ask" is that at 17,18, 19, you often haven't a clew as to your sexuality.
I know I didn't..

The way my father tells it, by '69 nobody was buying the Klinger ploy. My father intentionally screwed up in basic training until his C.O. was forced to find out what his "major malfunction" was. After refusing to divulge his story after several hours of cajoling and encouragement, he finally admitted that he was upset because his boyfriend back home had left him. His superiors were so embarrassed that he had them so wrapped up in his personal problems, that they gave him an immediate honorable discharge.

I see no indication externally that we are at war. No sacrifices have been asked for by this president. No tax increases to allow for both guns and butter. No planning has been done to decrease our addiction to oil.

On the other hand, internally we are gradually losing our precious freedoms that the evil doers were said to hate. All they had to do was to kill 3,000 innocents to take away those hated freedoms.

That's moronic.

Or at least, it'd be a hilarious threat to wield in saber-rattling/talks, on a number of levels.

The test, a penile plethysmograph, is sold by conservative millionaire Loren Parks, the primary fundraiser for the anti-tax activists Kevin Mannix and Bill Sizemore. The latter has a wiki entry (and passes the test with flying colors)

President Bush today announced that since gay marriage poses an immediate threat to American society, he will immediately begin sending troops into Massachusetts & San Francisco to liberate marriage from the gays.

“The gays pose an immenient threat to the well-being of the US and we will not tolerate such powerful legal rights to a group that has Weapons of Ass Destruction” said Bush in a morning statement.

Bush followed with the statement that even if we do not find W.A.D. in SF or MA, that’s okay because being gay is wrong anyway.

Say what you will about the this war, or the American military, and the current policy regarding homosexuals, but be honest about the fact that no powerful military organization in history has been less likely than the current American military to use men as cannon fodder. Kevin's comments are a despicable slander, and reveal a fundamental contempt. It is akin to homophobes who slander all homosexuals by asserting or insinuating that they are child molesters.

CalGal, RSM and others nailed it. Until we know how many of the discharges were voluntary (i.e., the servicemember chose to announce that he is gay--truthfully or otherwise--in order to get a discharge because he just wanted to leave the military), the statistics are basically meaningless. It's plausible that as the stigma of homosexuality declines, increasing numbers of straight servicemembers will exploit the current policy to secure an honorable discharge before their contract expires.

I completely disagree with the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and I find it curious that during this time of war that we can afford to lose qualified and trained military personnel. If I were into reading tea leaves, I might be inclined to believe the recent rumblings that the administration will reduce troop deployments in Iraq before the end of the year. Certainly the fact that this is the first increase in discharges since 2001 is a mere coincidence, right? Regardless, the policy is deplorable.

Last night I went to bed to hear the 37th MN death in Iraq. On his 3rd tour and wounded last time there. How much do you have to give?

My sister was thinking in WWII, Vietnam terms. All 18-21 year-olds majority of deaths. I showed her how many older guys, the proportion of NCOs. etc. This is not your usual war. It is damaging the Army, Reserves and National Guard.

I've put up with enough ignorance from the Right-wing pro-war shits. Shed Your Own Blood!

I'm for keeping gays in the army and transferring them into some really appropriate high risk infanty role like the Sacred Band of Thebes. There's no problem so they won't be mixed in with regulars. And if anyone says gays can't fight, they can take on the Sacred Band in a wargame.

I'm just not sure automatically moving gays into high-risk front line roles, would be taken as non-discriminatory.

Kinda sad to hear that 1st Lt Alexander Macedon was released from the military yesterday because of the infamous "don't ask, don't tell" program.
