Ugh.

I've had a lot of family in the armed forces (ones in USSR/former USSR though). And I respect the profession as much as I am horrified by what people have to endure.

You deserve so much better than this.

That is so fucked up. I am really disappointed that Obama is not confronting this shit head on and saying, "No more! *All* of our military are brave soldiers, and we will not tolerate any sort of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation *ever again*!"

The chaplain's words are shocking to me. Being non-religious, I was sort of annoyed with chaplains' presence in the armed forces to begin with, but I figured if they're actually helping soldiers deal with their difficult and stressful work, then fine. But how could a diatribe about faggots and whores and gooks actually give anybody solace? What's the process for getting this asshole fired?
