If only America hadn’t revolted against British rule. One month after apologizing for sacking gay soldiers, the Ministry of Defense has settled on a settlement valued at more than £3m. The MoD lifted its gay ban back in 2000, but has struggled with how to address the injustice. Rather than admitted any illegality, the ministry has opted to play the privacy game, says Pink News UK: The MoD said that compensation for around 60 former service personnel was being paid because their privacy had been breached, and not because the Armed Forces had acted illegally in dismissing them. They say “tomato,†we say “about bloody timeâ€. http://www.queerty.com/news/britains-big-gay-pay-out-20070730/ Yet the US is still kicking gay soldiers out of the service.. I say we need every able bodied GI Joe and Josephine.. so let's solve the problem and send those Gay Soldiers directly to the front lines! (just kidding.. being sarcastic here, people! I think anyone willing to serve, should be allowed to serve.. including senior citizens)
That's what titles are supposed to do Yeah, I do think anyone willing to serve should definitely be allowed to.. Seriously, I even think the age restrictions are silly.. put the willing senior citizens in a desk job doing support..
