Fewer bigots in the military? Sounds good to me.

I guess I'm a little behind the times, as this article is from a few days ago, July 16, 2010, in the New York Times, but I still have to vent a little.

The House of Representatives voted on May 27 to allow the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the military, which will allow everyone, not just homophobes, to be open about their sexuality.

It seems that this new advance toward a civilized society is feared by some. The G.I. Rights Hotline has received a new kind of call: a soldier who considers homosexuality an abomination and wishes to be granted conscientious objector status because he cannot serve in the military alongside gay soldiers. Of course, the hotline counselor, a Ms. McNeil, who has served the hotline for 11 years, had to point out this bigot's utter stupidity: he has already been serving alongside gays in the military, so this particular conscientious objector is a brain-dead hypocrite, but we already knew that too.

Continuing his stupidity, this objector says that if homosexuality is actually allowed, he will be housed with somebody who's sexually attracted to him. Clearly he missed Ms. McNeil's point, as he is already possibly housed with someone who's into him, although given that he's such a narrow-minded, backward prick, only people with serious self-esteem issues would even give him a second thought.

I can just imagine this bonehead, out on a weekend night, drunk off his ass and being a total dickhead to his fellow women soldiers. I imagine that those women soldiers would never be so stupid as to request conscientious objector status because they consider redneck-ism to be an abomination, and they cannot serve alongside a hillbilly fucktard.

As of the date of publication in the NYT, some five of these assholes have contacted the G.I. Rights Hotline. My response? All of you, please call in. Please leave the military. I'll vote for a law that grants you conscientious objector status. You are such cowards that you can't even face your own latent homosexual tendencies. You can't even trust your own heterosexuality. Pussies, every last one of you. I can guess your response to me: "I'm gonna kick yer ass, you faggot-lover." But you're so stupid that you can't even see that a violent, threatening response just underscores the fact that you're a fucking coward. You can't even take a bit of name-calling. Please, do leave the military. Maybe then the military can calm down a bit and become an instrument of defense rather than an instrument of destruction dominated by ignorant bigots.
