Quality

This is classic;

(AgapePress) - A conservative military watchdog says she intends to question West Point Military Academy officials about why a former cadet was given an award for a thesis objecting to the U.S. military's ban on homosexuals serving in the armed forces.

Second Lieutenant Alexander Raggio describes himself as the straightest guy imaginable; but in his senior thesis at West Point Academy, he argued that the military's policy banning homosexuals from service is not only wrong but harmful to America's armed services. For his controversial paper, the then-senior cadet received an award from the Academy's English Department.

This incident has led Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, to wonder what officials at the Academy were thinking. "I do intend to bring this to the attention of some of the people in the leadership roles at West Point," she says. "I think it ought to be questioned."

Donnelly says this is the first she has heard of Raggio's commendation from the English department, but news of the faculty's conferral of honor on a graduating cadet for his pro-homosexual thesis has given rise to some grave concerns. "Certainly," she asserts, "it does call into question the judgment of those who gave this award.”

Apparently, Donnelly says, when Raggio wrote his thesis, he was saying the ban on homosexuals serving in the military should be lifted. "That is a very unusual view," she asserts, "and he is certainly entitled to his opinion." However, the military readiness expert observes, studies have clearly shown that homosexuality and military service are not a good mix.
Where to start. Well, first of all, again - the majority of religious people, at least those that feel the need to express a view such as this one has, are stupid as fuck. I'm not just talking about having a certain point of view, or opinion on an issue. I'm talking too stupid to fucking live dumb as fuck.

First, the point of the award. If that stupid fuck had actually taken upper division English courses in college, she would know that that the subject of a thesis does not determine the grade. You could write a thesis on the fruit basket sitting on your dinning room table, and if you construct it properly, receive an award.

The cadet doesn't even have to hold the opinion that he states in the thesis to receive recognition. That's a skill the lawyers must master, and why being a lawyer requires mastery of the language. They often express views to support their client that they don't even believe themselves.

This cadet, to his credit, does support the ending of the "don't ask, don't tell" ban, because it's hurting America. We've seen, time and again, highly trained Arabic linguists dismissed from the military due not to their job performance, but merely their orientation. This "Christian" supports that notion, and in an era of heightened terrorism threats, it diminishes the military's capability to combat terrorism. Therefore, the Christians are actively working against the security interest of the United States.

Finally - the stupid fuck is lying. None of the European nations have such a ban, and it has not had any detrimental affect on their military. Even the British have no concern about orientation, and studies have shown no ill effects what-so-ever, because people who are not stupid as fuck know that orientation has nothing to do with any of it.

I suspect that West Point cadet will do well and go far. Good for him.

The Christian bitch can DIAF.
