Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was a Clinton thing iirc.

Total sidebar, but it’s weird how people remember DADT. Like it was a sudden LGBT-phobic policy that came out of nowhere. What it actually was, was a typical pathetic Democrat half-measure, trying to “compromise” with Christian fascists. The policy it replaced was that commanders could decide to just broadly investigate soldiers and look for evidence of them being gay to purge them from the military. The Democrats’ solution was “just pretend to be straight all the time lol, and we’ll promise to be less proactive about purging you”

This was Clinton though. AFAIK, he didn’t even try to act like he wasn’t a Republican.

The term they used was triangulation. It’s a fancy name for the rightward ratchet of the Overton window via ‘compromise’.

My deeply Republican dad hated him with a fiery passion that still boggles me, thirty years later.

It’s bizarre to me that people could look at getting a bunch of young, fit men together, thrusting them into a situation where they mostly exist in a social bubble with each other, train to trust each other with their lives, and live in a culture of embracing excitement and violence, and then expect everyone to pretend some of them aren’t fucking.

Tbh 90% of the military is just office work on computers. I don’t trust my coworkers with my life, I hardly trust them not to fuck up the excel spreadsheet formulas I’ve made. Still fucking them on occasion tho so you nailed that part.
