- Big difference: in this case, the reporters are on the net and are relating
- personal experience. This is not "unreported" and it is not hearsay
- or urban legend. To question their human experience is to question their
- honesty. Once you start that, the debate reduces to the level of
- "did too" "did not" "did too" - ie, it becomes bogus. I would ask you:
- do you think that those who described incidents here on the net are
- liars? Do you think Col. David Hackworth is lying in his description
- of a gay commander dispensing favoritism (IN COMBAT!) based on the
- sexual preference of the soldier?
-
- If you doubt these reports, COME OUT AND SAY IT. Don't insist that some
- ivory tower idea of "these should have been reported to authorities"
- or "give us names and dates" - it is obvious that these are bogus criteria
- that you are using just to avoid having to admit that some gays have, in the
- past, misbehaved in the military. So, let me ask you this:
-
- Do you disagree that some gays have misbehaved in the military? If not, then
- why are you attacking the assertions? If so, then defend the assertion.
- An answer of "but het's do it to" is irrelevant and will be ignored.
