Best Gay Military Position: Inclusion!

Nadir's dad and I share one favorite gay military position (actually it's my only gay military position): abolish any mention of it from the military code, except to ban any discrimination based on it. This is a family blog, so we can't print any of Nadir's dad's other favorite military positions, but I can report that in netflix he gave 4 stars to, "Mission Position Impossible," which rules out one (incidentally, the first time Nadir's mom went to church in years was in response to a sign declaring, "Apply Inside for a Missionary Position!").

This article explores Britain's gay military position, which is the one that Nadir's dad and I favor: surprise, it has caused no problems. Another area where we libertarians must hold our noses when we vote for Repos.

If your jokes about my Dad were actually funny, I might respond, but you embarass yourself with your own lack of humor. No comeback necessary.

But I agree. If you're stuck fighting an illegal war, and you're having trouble getting soldiers, why keep throwing out qualified soldiers because of their sexual preferences?

Check out this story: The US military fired 58 Arabic linguists because they were gay, but they can't find enough qualified Arabic linguists. Another example of how prejudice causes people to make stupid decisions.

I suppose that this is what we libertarians get when we hold our noses and vote for a "Christian conservative".

I pity you if you find no humor in "Mission Position Impossible."
