Last month I wrote about the Servicemembers United release of Department of Defense data that showed how all minorities (including women) are disproportionately discharged under DADT.
Today, CNN published a brief article online that calls attention to the rate women are dishcarged:
All the services kicked out a disproportionate number of women under the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, according to Department of Defense data obtained by the Palm Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The center studies gender and sexuality in the military.
. . . Of those discharged under the policy, 36 percent were women, although women make up only 14 percent of troops in the Army, the data showed.

Have you ever considered that more gay females get kicked out of the army due to gay females being more likely to joing the army and gay males less likely….. ever? I personally know less straight women that would be willing to join than gay women, and then also, know less gay men that would be willing to join, than straight men.

Women have no place in the military anyway (in my opinion). Despite the feminist hysteria, men and women have very different functions in the world. These functions are determined at the chemical & biological level. They are not a outcropping of social development.
Homosexuals in the military cause chaos. No heterosexual man, wants to have worry about being the object of sexual attention, or advances from another man & that is inevitably what will end up happening. Imagine for a minute a heterosexual man, living, eating, sleeping, and showering, every day with hundreds of other women. Do you think he can hide his excitement at living with all those other women? Sideways glances, staring too long, the “accidental” brush up, the excessive inappropriate conversation, and eventually the full out making a pass.
We can’t ignore reality for the sake of political correctness. The only way homosexuals can effectively operate in the military, is within an a gay only unit. This would has offer them the opportunity to prove they excel in the military and quiet any further criticism.
