My Letter To The White House
Monday, August 17th, 2009Well Mr. Obama another campaign promise proved out to be another ball face lie. Apparently politicians will tell any kind of lie to get to be president. Well Mr. President you’re the freaking commander and chief of all military forces as such you give the orders and the Joint Chiefs of Staff follow them not the other way around. As such it’s a simple matter of signing an executive order repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, that’s all nothing more nothing less. Bill Clinton made the same promise and then turned pussy coward and backed down before the Joint Chiefs of Staff and apparently it appears like you’ve done the very same thing.
This comment was posted me a short while ago on another story about homosexuality and I can promise you every word of it I stand behind because not only is every bit of it true but it would appear it will continue until the time of my death. Just a small part of what this asinine Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy is responsible for serving in silence creates. Just some of the problems and shit that you could wipe out with the stroke of a pen. Larry Craig had the opportunity as Chairman of Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs to right tons of wrongs for gay and straight veterans alike but chose to turn a blind eye to all of the problems faced by veterans.
Well thank you a whole hell of a lot government of Mr. United of America.

Then be happy for them, as for myself serving in the military in silence and repressive sexual contact created a lifetime of sexual impotence and traumas. I suppose that made a hell of lot of the closet queers and all of the straights happy, but for me its been nothing but a lifetime of unhappiness, lost opportunities because of the impotence and rejection both socially and by the Veterans Administration and I have become a virtual social recluse. And that is the real tragedy of what serving in silence causes and what rejection creates.
Not once has My Country ever been proud of me and it sure as hell has never been grateful for my sacrifice.
