At a time when the United States is fighting a war for its very survival the army is dismissing the very people who have the specialized skills needed to win this bloody savage war against Islamic extremist.

Sgt. Bleu Copas a 30 year old Arab linguist in the US Army was dismissed for the “offense” of being a homosexual. Copas apparently violated the equally nonsensical “don’t ask don’t tell” policy, even though Copas never spoke of his sexual orientation.

The Army spent 8 months investigating claims that originated with a series of anonymous emails, that Copas was gay. How is it that the US Army can justify spending so much time investigating the personal lives of a US citizen who has been accused of no crime nor was he derelict in his duty? Indeed, by some estimates the US Army, alone has wasted nearly $400 million dollars investigating and replacing gay servicemen and women, but then again what can we expect from a government that once employed professional tea tasters?

Unfortunately, Sgt. Copas’ experience is not unique. According to the General Accountability Office (GAO), the US military has dismissed hundreds of gay men and women in arms who possessed specialized skills, extremely valuable in war time, including a number who were skilled Arabic speakers.

Such actions defy logic or common sense. This from a country that employed avowed Nazis in the years after the Second World War in its efforts to gain an upper hand against the Soviets. Are we to believe that a Nazi, someone whose values are abhorrent to everything Americans profess to hold dear, are less of a threat than a homosexual? What garbage.

    Another example of how the republican party has been taken over by the religious right.

    Perhaps, but then again it was Clinton who began this policy. Though the current leadership in Washington likely supports it.

    Right or wrong, it's a little off to say that Clinton began the policy. Clinton supported lifting the ban on gays in the military entirely. DADT is a direct result of Republicans not allowing him to do so. It's valid to disagree with his decision to allow a compromise (I do), but DADT is the result of Republican politicians, not Clinton.
