Doesn’t matter.

There aren’t enough of them to even make up one battalion. We have an army of one million men.

In our army as it exists today, those much-derided Christians from the Red States make up the bulk of our troops serving. Blue State liberals are practically nonexistent.

The facts to back up this assertion exist… where? When I served we had quite a few Muslims, Jews, and more than a couple of Atheists and Wiccans to go along with your oppressed Christians.

Any proportionality in favor of southerners in the Armed Forces may have a lot to do with the opportunities for a careers at Walmart, riverboat casinos, and factory hog farms down in Dixie.

Blue State liberals are practically nonexistent.

Really? Is that why 44% of the military voted for Obama? Heck, even 41% of them voted for Kerry in 2004. Seems like an odd definition of “practically nonexistent.”

Maybe 10% of the soldiers will leave, although I suspect that someone who is prepared to quit his/her job rather than work alongside a gay person probably doesn’t have the skills and intellect to fair very well in this economy. Consequently, they may choose to remain in the military.

I would also suspect that there is a significant number of people who have not joined the military b/c of its stance on gays. Those people seem more thoughtful and intelligent to me than those who would rather quit than serve alongside gays. Leaving aside the cost of training and turnover, this seems like a good trade to me.

Lastly, I don’t have any numbers on it, but I would guess that the percentage of soldiers that said they would quit rather than serve alongside blacks was higher than 10% and both the country and the military were/are better off because of an integrated military.

Their stalwart members include David Frum, Jonah Goldberg, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, and a host of warmongering cowards who have been unable to find their way to the recruiting offices of any major service.

Doesn’t the fact that we have an all-volunteer military suggest that only those who are unwilling to serve alongside gays will simply not join?

A recent poll by Army Times suggests that’s about 10% of the soldiers currently serving. So unless society’s attitudes change, we’re looking at a 10% cut in the size of our army.

You can already envision the attack ads the GOP will make with that: “Obama cuts our army by 10% in the middle of two wars….”

As this site is supposed to further a conservatism that can win again, it is readily apparent that there are no votes for conservatives in supporting homosexual marriage…

That’s just the stated reason for this site. I’m thinking it’s either a fishing expedition for strategies to peel off moderate voters or an attempt to sew ideological chaos. (Or both, of course.)

Maybe not, but maybe homosexuals in Idaho and Florida who are more comfortable with GOP gays such as Larry Craig and Mark Foley might switch their votes.
