Gays in the military 'led to Srebrenica massacre' claims U.S. Generalhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1259174/Gays-army-responsible-genocide-claims-retired-U-S-general.htmlVery interesting. (and highly controversial)

General Colin Powell who served under Bush, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates who served under President Bush and President Obama, Admiral Michael Mullen the highest ranking officer in the United States armed forces, and General David Petraeus who obviously knows a little something about the current conflicts, all agree that DADT needs to be repealed and I think they'd also disagree with this one guy spouting the crazy.The Dutch response:http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7068523.ece

Yep. The issue of gays in the military is relevant both to a DADT thread and to a Gays in the Military thread, so I only had to make small changes to the wording of my point. Excellent observation aaronburro!

Have the Dutch ever not been over-whelmed or overrun in a war?

Actually the Dutch have held their own in a few conflicts. I mean, they're not under Hapsburg control these days.More importantly, fuck Sheehan. Srebrenica was too awful to use as a little political pawn, and it was purely the fault of the U.N. not having enough teeth. I don't want them to be able to dictate general policies or anything, but I'd really, really like them to be able to shoot perpetrators of genocide every once in a while.

Well, blacks in the miliary led to the Vietnam War.

If letting gays into the military resulted in a drop of morale that resulted in a massacre, I'd go with blaming the bigots on this one

I know this is a difficult concept for Libertarians, but a lot of people tend to follow the law/rules.The U.N. pretty much never gives permission to shoot assholes. It is problematic. I hope very much to one day work towards fixing that, so that we can shoot the assholes.

U.N troops and NATO peacekeepers are basically living scarecrows.

I'm fairly certain that the Native American "Windtalkers" were responsible for the partition of India and Pakistan.
