Cohesion, morale and order "Tailhook"


Today the Supreme Court agreed with the Obama administration and refused to review Pentagon policy barring gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military.

The court said it will not hear an appeal from former Army Capt. James Pietrangelo II, who was dismissed under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

Kevin Nix, spokesman for the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. "What happened today puts the ball back into the court of Congress and the White House to repeal the law, and that's where we think it should be right now."

Nix said there are no objective studies showing unit cohesion, morale and order are harmed by openly gay people.

Do you think there are objective studies showing unit cohesion, morale and order in the military are harmed by men or women who cheat on their spouses? Are they just red blooded American boys and girls if they go and have sex outside of marriage? Anybody remember "Tailhook"?
Is this discipline? Is this morality?
