So you support the U.S. military's firing of Arabic translators for being homosexual?

More and more militaries around the world are allowing homosexuals in and discovering that they're very capable, stable, smart, and strong soldiers, even better than the unqualified criminals and dropouts the U.S. military currently prefers.

 

Yes, I do.  If you are trying to create an atmosphere in which US forces, SF in particular, in OIF and OEF-A and even OEF-P would be more acceptable to Muslims you have to adapt.  Sharia law forbids homosexuality and you are not going to go up to the tribal chieftain outside Waziristan with a bright smile and stating OMG you are Fabulous!!!  No, you have to either adapt to the sit on the field or get the hell out of the way.

I'm talking about translators.  Who speak the language of the area we've been occupying.  They can actually translate enemy messages, which can save American lives.  Over 50 of them were fired before 9/11.  Maybe they could have helped us know what the enemy was up to?

And we don't have to follow Sharia law to invade and occupy a country that does.  We don't need to treat our gays the way they treat their gays, just to "look acceptable."  Should we treat our women the way they treat theirs?  I guess we shouldn't have female soldiers either.

No I don't think we should have female soldiers.  I would not want them to run around in burkas if that is what your asking.  The thing is this is not an occupation it is a liberation and recovery period.  Ask any soldier what they do over there and he/she will tell you that they sure as hell are not occupying anything.  The people even want us to stay, for example in Iraq, past our 2011 SOFA agreement.  The thing is we knew what the enemy was doing and we got blindsided on 9/11.

Rubang yes we do have to follow the laws of the country.  Look @ Iraq.  We are confined to the Iraqi laws outside of the Green Zone and even there sometimes.
