Pentagon Can't Tell About Don't Ask Plunge
No "Speculation" From Military Leaders
The Pentagon ain't about telling. Not when it comes to Don't Ask, Don't Tell, at least.
Government officials insist they're still booting bent soldiers, yet they refuse to "speculate" on why discharge numbers dropped since the war began. Gay activists claim the military no longer wants to fire flamers, but the Pentagon maintains its doing its discriminatory duty. From an official statement:
The Department will continue to follow congressional mandate on homosexual conduct. This law requires the Department of Defense to separate from the armed forces members who engage in or attempt to engage in homosexual acts; state they are homosexual or bisexual; or marry or attempt to marry a person of the same biological sex.
This does nothing to explain why openly gay soldier Darren Manzella continues to fight alongside his straight comrades.

do you want change your opinion about gay marry with more related people.i have got many thought-provoking opinion when i comunicate with my friend on gaysinglehunt.com
Fabianlander, give it a rest!! We get the point.
Fabianlander, this may seem terribly old-fashioned, but howzabout BUYING some advertising?
That said, Manzella is a medic. Sure, they are needed, but it's not accurate to say he's fighting. Also, I don't really respect anybody involved in the phony War on Terror, which is actually a war for big oil, rebuilding, and other war profiteering, with the side effect of discarding our constitution. I don't agree with those who say what America fights for or against is not the issue; the point is that everybody gets the same chance to fight. To me, although America's ongoing colonization of Iraq and DADT are both patently wrong, Iraq trumps DADT. Bigtime. So no, I don't think Manzella, generally seen flexing and posing into a camera lens, has bragging rights.
