That Dubya will come out for gays in the military?
He'll achieve two key things with it politically:
1) He can claim he's not anti-gay when he and Karl Rove launch their huge anti-gay campaign -- he can point out his position on the military and claim "tolerance."
2) When he reinstates the draft, he adds millions of additional potential cannon fodder to the rolls!

| 1. I seriously doubt that... |

1) His base will not tolerate it.
2)There's plenty of "cannon fodder" if they reinstate the draft.

| 6. I have no doubt we'll be in the "don't return alive" platoons |

It will be a great way to kill off large numbers of gays, without having to open a single messy, expensive camp.

| 4. The Pamphlets at the Post office put it at 18 to 25 |
|
But I'm not sure it won't creep up a bit once they get started. Still I'd think 35 you'd be safe. Bryant Check it out --> http://politicalcomment.blogspot.com
