Lesbian Arab Language Experts

[johnjpender]

When I heard about what a shortage we have in people who know Arab languages and therefore can't do the survelliance we'd like to do...it was difficult for me to understand why getting rid of military people who were found to be gay and yet were experts in Arab languages - was a good idea. Seemed dumb to me.

Some times you go over the line... I think this is one of those times.

No. I read about it on the CNN news website a bit ago. See, the people I read about were valued military people with skills we need...until they admitted their orientation. They hadn't been caught doing anything. And I couldn't see why it would matter in this case. A guy with Arab language skills got kicked out for it too.

Found it. It was on MSNBC. And it was only 7 people in this group:

On ABRAMS agenda tonight: … seven Arab translators and intelligence experts kicked out of an elite language school because they're gay. Considering this nation needs Arab-speaking intelligence experts more than anything else right now in the war on terror, shouldn't we say: "Don't ask, don't tell. We don't care for now"? …

If you feel this in any way is bad for the site to have posted...just lock it. I don't want to hurt anyone. I was just wondering.

Well lets look at it this way. I am a Policemen but I make false reports should I be retained as a policemen since I have shown the level of my integrity when it comes to being a person of power and responsibility?

Now we have "so-called" lesbians who depending on when they enlisted may be out right discharged for being such, or if they enlisted post 1993 can be discharged for telling they are such "Don't ask, Don't Tell" one of Clintons bright lightbulbs... Either way they broke the rules, I doubt that in all the military that only Lesbians can speak and communicate in Arabic.
