Christopher Curtis @ PlanetOut Network is reporting that the military running out of troops is now letting (or forcing) openly gay and lesbian troops serve in the armed forces.
A military spokesperson has reportedly admitted that openly gay and lesbian troops are being sent into combat in Iraq, despite the military's "don't ask, don't tell" ban on homosexual soldiers.
Kim Waldron, of the U.S. Army Forces Command at Fort McPherson, told the Washington Blade newspaper: "The bottom line is some people are using sexual orientation to avoid deployment. So in this case, with the Reserve and Guard forces, if a soldier 'tells,' they still have to go to war and the homosexual issue is postponed until they return to the U.S. and the unit is demobilized."
I can smell the hypocrisy all the way from Iraq! I spotted this story at Yahoo! News Top stories. If anyone happens to see it on any major news networks or websites please let me know. I am really interested to see when and how the major networks cover this important event.
