So it's a rule that's in place to use when you want to get someone in **** and is otherwise, typically ignored. Like showing up late at work. You turn a blind eye to it when someone good is late and raise hell when it's a stunned employee.

Fraternization deals more with rank. As in, an officer and an enlisted dating or enlisted and junior enlisted and such. And it isn't that big a deal until one of them @#%^s up and abuses the situation. (IE: The officer commands the enlisted to date/sex them or the enlisted uses the relationship to advance themselves)


Ah, thanks.

It is now.
#206Almalieque, Posted: Sep 26 2011 at 3:51 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The reason why my post did not have details the way you wanted is because it was a conceptual argument. I was asked what I thought of it and I expressed my opinion. What I realized after finishing this post was that you all expected a different type of response. I responded to the question of how I feel with the conceptual argument of allowing overall ignorance making changes does more harm than good. My post wasn't intended to point fingers at any one thing, but to go over the conceptual errors. The concept of the "big picture" is two fold.

If joining the US military means that you are 'signing off' on some of your rights, how come an officer of said military is publicly criticizing its policies? Being an openly gay grunt is a problem but being an anti-establishment officer is a just fine?

Alma, you do about as much for morale as friendly fire.

#210Xsarus, Posted: Sep 26 2011 at 4:57 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I see what you're saying here, but the thing is that this is the situation that currently exists. You've said and other sources have said that most of the time people know anyway, so all this changes is that people don't have to officially hide who they are. Since nothing else changes, it's not a good argument to keep DADT. If you think there are justifications for handling things differently you can explore those, but in a situation where it doesn't change anything functional it's not a justification for not changing DADT. You're also equating the situation between a man and a woman, and a man and a man, which I don't think is justified.

I bet any amount of money that this exact argument happened back when (if you'll excuse the terminology) 'coloureds' were allowed to serve in the same companies as whites.

I'm going to say, since Alma hasn't targeted my post and explained how I'm dead wrong, I must've gotten his argument down pretty well.

Go me.

Australia is now the fourth nation in the world to have women serve in all combat/frontline jobs in the military, after Canada, New Zealand, and Israel.

They will, of course, have to pass the present physical and psychological tests, so the physical tests are expected to keep women in a minority.

Rats, I hope world war doesn't break out and conscription kicks in Smiley: glare

Correction, it's not that they CAN'T, but they wont. I had a Soldier who got married within in his last weeks in country. He got an exception to policy for his wife to live with him, but that is not the norm.

Wait, does General McChrystal know about this?

If it were, it was a poor argument given the fact that they are totally irrelevant.

The main reason why I didn't respond was because the length of the last post. The second reason was that I figured with me explaining myself in the long post, that there wasn't a need to make any corrections in your explanation.

You weren't perfect, but relative to your "peers", you're light years above them. The fact that you were able to comprehend that much, proves the fact that it wasn't that hard to understand. This wasn't the first time that you have done so. This is how I can call the BS flag when people claim that they don't understand.
