Though I don't know why you think that page is "on Fox" -- the only Fox mentioned thereon is one Colonel Wesley Fox.

Thank you UG. And I was incorrect about Fox. This particular individual was on GOPUSA.com.

While some people might go 'same difference', it was incorrect. With a little more digging I'm sure I can find a Fox News connection, but the task would be pointless.

I find this part disturbing.

Keeping in mind their oath, which, by its very language specifies obligations to the Constitution and not necessarily to the sitting president, officers either ignored Clinton's directives or vocally confronted the damaging effect of his enduring loathing of the military.

He really does sound like the whiny bastards who didn't want Truman integrating the armed services. I wonder if he'll apply the same standard to officers who 'vocally confront' the president on Iraq.

If this guy is a homophobic idiot who doesn't like "don't ask, don't tell" then he should do us all a favor and out all of the gay soldiers in Iraq. I'm sure their family and friends would like to see the 5,000-15,000 men and women there come home. I'm also sure that they don't want to leave since each one of them has a 'get out of Iraq' ticket and has not used it. I'm also sure their immediate superiors and squad mates know and don't care.

Guys who think that duty and honor only apply to straight, (probably white), conservatives are stupid and, if their attitudes infect the chain of command, dangerous.

The only reason we can co-exist is because of one piece of paper written over 200 years ago. Amazing.
