The always FABULOUS  LADY BUNNY 
speaks out today on Huffington Post!

I sure hope that Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is repealed. Gays deserve equal rights across the board. Case closed.

That said, why on earth would anyone want to enlist right now?

The two unpopular wars we’re fighting barely even came up in the midterm elections. Except with gays — for some reason we’re eager to join in the fight. Dan Choi, the poster boy for repeal, recently equated the bullying that the legislature engages in by keeping DADT in place with the bullying that’s caused a rash of teen suicides that shocked the gay community. OK, so I guess all gays agree that bullying is a bad thing. And that no one should do it, right? As the most hawkish nation, the US is the biggest and meanest bully in the world! Yet Choi and others want participate in its actions abroad? It’s not logical. Either bullying is wrong or it isn’t. While the schoolyard bullies harass people verbally the Pentagon flies soldiers to occupy foreign countries for indefinite killing sprees. Oh, but we call that Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Now if gays just want any job in a crummy economy and can stand bloodshed and withstand post-traumatic stress disorder, then the military’s a fine choice.

There can be no honor from serving in a shameful war. Anyone attempting to enlist now is condoning the horrors of of it. If fairness and equality is really the concern of gay people, then we can’t sign up to use force to impose our misguided will as we’ve been doing in Iraq for almost a decade. As people who’ve been bullied ourselves, we of all people must value compassion.

Dan Choi has claimed that “War is a force that gives us meaning.” Anyone who needs to obtain their meaning from something as depraved as preemptive attacks against innocent countries is at odds with any civil rights movement I can conceive of.

Last night on Rachel Maddow, discharged Lt. Colonel. Victor Fehrenbach described his service by saying “It’s my life.” Too bad that he can’t live his “life” without causing someone else’s death. Of course gays deserve civil rights. But Iraqis deserve them just as much as we do.
