Uhm, no, college towns can be quite different. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 22/04/2010 10:13:41 PM
Unless you're also saying that all college towns have the same demographics as KSU and also have nearby Army bases??

I've been to 4 college towns just in the past year...and everyone had a different feel to them. And three of them were in the same state!! (ASU, UofA and NAU)
Still Empress of the Poofy Purple Pillow Pile Palace!!

I'm in favor of repealing DADT, but this made me briefly reconsider beckstcw - 21/04/2010 05:29:45 AM 1439 Views
...did you read the article? They aren't in the military any more. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/04/2010 05:31:02 AM 430 Views

No, in or out it's a no-go Isaac - 21/04/2010 05:48:25 AM 942 Views
There needs to be a rule that stops soldiers from wearing uniforms in bars beetnemesis - 21/04/2010 06:55:37 AM 868 Views
But if you aren't wearing your uniform at the bar... beckstcw - 21/04/2010 06:58:33 AM 874 Views
You wear a big sign that says I'M AWESOME: ASK ME HOW *NM* beetnemesis - 21/04/2010 07:01:45 AM 394 Views
Grabbing a beer with the guys after work is a pretty normal thing Isaac - 21/04/2010 07:45:16 AM 881 Views
I've seen it. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2010 12:52:59 PM 869 Views
Not a very fair way to look at it Isaac - 21/04/2010 02:10:47 PM 908 Views
perhaps not on its own LadyLorraine - 21/04/2010 07:06:09 PM 843 Views
Sadly that's not that uncommon SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 07:27:45 PM 951 Views
to be honest, I've probably met plenty of wonderful military people in the bars LadyLorraine - 21/04/2010 07:41:30 PM 932 Views
Could be. SilverWarder - 22/04/2010 04:45:29 PM 871 Views
every think the problem might be the uptight college kids? *NM* random thoughts - 22/04/2010 05:10:08 PM 376 Views
Excepting possibly finals period, I'm pretty sure "uptight college kid" is an oxymoron. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/04/2010 07:07:58 PM 384 Views
uptight college kids don't go drink in Aggieville. LadyLorraine - 22/04/2010 07:17:17 PM 1106 Views
maybe I should have said stuck up college kids random thoughts - 22/04/2010 08:29:18 PM 1007 Views
Uhm, no, college towns can be quite different. LadyLorraine - 22/04/2010 10:13:41 PM 827 Views
The navy and Marine do have rules against it at least for working uniforms random thoughts - 21/04/2010 04:06:10 PM 908 Views
Like Buzz Aldrin wearing his on Dancing with the Stars. Ugh. *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 21/04/2010 02:37:59 PM 403 Views
I'll bet he got permission to do that though. SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 03:26:43 PM 882 Views
well that was an air force uniform so it really doesn't count as military random thoughts - 21/04/2010 04:00:27 PM 1051 Views
I'll remind you of that next time you want air support ;-) SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 06:00:32 PM 926 Views
I am a Marine we have our own air support random thoughts - 21/04/2010 06:15:01 PM 834 Views
Yeah - some of it pretty good too but still all small stuff SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 07:26:12 PM 881 Views
The F/A18 does OK random thoughts - 21/04/2010 10:11:13 PM 800 Views
It's all right, but not the best choice SilverWarder - 22/04/2010 04:30:07 PM 868 Views
jack of all trades pretty much defines the Marines random thoughts - 22/04/2010 05:13:21 PM 1257 Views
Oh not entirely SilverWarder - 22/04/2010 09:54:21 PM 1154 Views
I second that UGH *NM* Aisha - 21/04/2010 10:30:35 PM 389 Views
Hm. That seems to violate some significant 1st Amendment rights. Ghavrel - 21/04/2010 07:00:59 PM 877 Views
you forget that the military sign away their rights. *NM* LadyLorraine - 21/04/2010 07:06:52 PM 413 Views
That's why I specified dishonorably discharged. They're no longer in the military. Ghavrel - 21/04/2010 08:43:22 PM 890 Views
*shrug* sorry, I'm a bit cynical over how much the military EVER lets go. LadyLorraine - 21/04/2010 10:13:51 PM 851 Views

oh puhlease Aisha - 21/04/2010 05:43:15 AM 938 Views
It's not a just a piece of clothing, but I guess we'll agree to disagree on that. beckstcw - 21/04/2010 05:45:52 AM 908 Views
I agree with you, Aisha. The Shrike - 21/04/2010 02:15:30 PM 1059 Views

Re: I'm on their side, BUT Aisha - 21/04/2010 05:57:50 AM 941 Views
Like I said, we simply disagree *NM* beckstcw - 21/04/2010 06:35:27 AM 427 Views
Thing is though SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 03:31:05 PM 982 Views
Well... it's a military policy. If they were protesting animal cruelty while wearing it, I'd agree beetnemesis - 21/04/2010 06:53:36 AM 1083 Views
What beetnemesis said. They're not talking about rights for all gays, but rights for gay soldiers. Tim - 21/04/2010 09:54:09 AM 849 Views
Sounds a bit like they are damned either way snoopcester - 21/04/2010 11:01:36 AM 888 Views
It's peaceful and non-violent. I see nothing wrong with them making their point in this in addition The Shrike - 21/04/2010 02:12:54 PM 851 Views

Re: A soldier protesting a military doctrine has the right. Aisha - 21/04/2010 02:34:34 PM 882 Views
they don't have the right to use the uniform to make that free expression *NM* random thoughts - 21/04/2010 02:39:45 PM 371 Views
Take it up with congress, the regulations are clear, no such right exists, it is expressly banned *NM* Isaac - 21/04/2010 02:46:14 PM 344 Views
The uniform isn't just handed to you after Basic with no strings attached. beckstcw - 21/04/2010 03:04:32 PM 986 Views
The funny thing about it is SilverWarder - 21/04/2010 03:35:51 PM 984 Views

I think your attitude is likely to be common among active duty and vets alike. Sareitha Sedai - 21/04/2010 02:44:29 PM 873 Views
Actually, darlin', we don't have to convince them. LiterateDog - 21/04/2010 03:34:49 PM 872 Views

But these men didn't disrespect anything. LiterateDog - 21/04/2010 04:09:20 PM 939 Views
the problem is uniforms are about more than everyone dressing the same random thoughts - 21/04/2010 05:55:31 PM 929 Views
The statistics show that nearly 70% of Americans think gay men and women should serve openly. The Shrike - 21/04/2010 04:14:33 PM 834 Views
And going back to the Truman example, he doesn't even have to show Truman's courage. LiterateDog - 21/04/2010 04:17:02 PM 873 Views

Well he wasn't all talk about Health care SilverWarder - 22/04/2010 04:44:39 PM 960 Views
Yes, the main thing he has followed through on is the most disastrous. LiterateDog - 22/04/2010 04:59:45 PM 739 Views
Well, I'm not convinced on that SilverWarder - 22/04/2010 10:02:58 PM 1211 Views
and I think they will get it random thoughts - 21/04/2010 06:05:07 PM 999 Views

The bravey of those men is exactly what that 'clothing' stands for. LiterateDog - 21/04/2010 04:20:19 PM 946 Views
The above post was sarcasm, in case that wasn't clear... Dreaded Anomaly - 21/04/2010 04:43:44 PM 931 Views
