Here is what I am thinking, anyone who is willing to:
…Fight a war for this country…
…Risk stepping on a landmine…
…Risk picking up a rock with an IED beneath it ready to blow their leg off…
…Risk being an amputee or handicapped for the rest of their lives…
…Risk being kidnapped by terrorists and having their head chopped off…
…Endure sleeping in a dirt hole for months at a time…
…Endure regular daily temperatures of 120 degrees and above…
…Have a shitty haircut…
…Be separated from spouses, kids and family for 12-15 months at a time…
…Carry 80 pounds of war gear on their backs for days and weeks and months…
…Deserves to be open about their sexuality. Why should they live a lie and live in fear among their fellow soldiers and commanding officers when they are willing to do all the above and more? I want the Democrats and Republicans who voted no on the defense authorization bill yesterday to give us one good reason why they voted no. Just one good reason. I haven’t heard any.

On top of this, I want to hear a damn good reason why some Democrats and Republicans would deny undocumented people the right to further their education and pursuing legal citizenship. I mean, we spent so much money on them to attend primary school, why not allow them to go further, and give back to the only country they really know.
Absolutely, that is part of it. The DREAM act is a big part of this bill and I like it. It makes sense. Not passing the DREAM act also denies undocumented people the right to serve in the military. But for now, I just wanted to hit on DADT.
