More buffoonary from the courts

Oh joy, another unelected unaccountable tenured for life federal judge ordered the military to stop enforcing the "don't ask, don't tell" law that has been used to maintain good order and discipline in the armed services for the last 17 years. Combat veteran and long-patrol submarine expert Judge Virginia Phillips, camre off of a long-range patrol, laid down her rucksack, rifle and web gear long enough issue the ruling. Actually, I’ll bet this dame knows less about the military than Donovan McNabb knows about the over-time rules in the NFL.


Egad! The military discriminates? Why yes they do. They discriminate against fat people, skinny people, short people, tall people, deformed people, mentally challenged people, people with poor sight, hearing and health. They discriminate against people who are out shape, are criminals, use drugs, diabetic, wet the bed, have flat feet, long hair and beards. The military discriminates against people who cannot read, speak and write English at an 8th grade level. They discriminate against single parents or parents with multiple kids. The military is a discriminatory organization and for good reason.  Sane people do not want to go to war with a handicapped dwarf who is blind in one eye and cannot see out of the other. And it doesn't matter how patriotic the dwarf is.  Think of Ephialtes in the movie The 300.  In spite of what Judge Vi thinks, an all voluntary force will suffer in recruitment and performance if high standards are not maintained.

Now I’m not sure why being homosexual makes a difference in the military, probably the same reason why I do not want a gay man teaching my son’s PhysEd class. I do know it does make a difference. I don’t know why, but it does. And until such time that it doesn’t make a difference the Supreme Court ought to slap Judge Vi down, hard. The court has tended to place the need for maintaining good order and discipline in our military above the endless social experiments of clueless clowns like Judge Vi. The function of the military is war. Anything that distracts from that mission is a waste of taxpayer money. There are hundreds of wasteful policies laid on the military every year.

So this is where we have arrived. One clueless buffoon can place the needs of one protected class above the moral and welfare of the entire force. I have an idea. You what social experimentation? Fine, let the gays and women fight the two wars we are now engaged in and see how far we get.

The force can be broken. Straw by straw, Judge Vi and libs are doing their level best to accomplish the task of breaking the force.  Once broken, how do Vi and her lib cohorts plan to defend the country?  And once the clueless are bounced from positions of authority, how long will it take to restore the force?
