my mind is bottled

and then shaken up, and is about to explode. Seriously.

The Pentagon confirmed on Friday that it is considering segregating gay troops, specifically with regards to creating separate showers and/or barracks for straight and gay troops. Advocate reporter Kerry Eleveld just transcribed the following quote from Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell at Friday's briefing about the new "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" survey: "We think it would be irresponsible to conduct a survey that didn?t try to address these types of things. Because when DADT is repealed, we will have to determine if there are any challenges in those particular areas, any adjustments that need to be made in terms of how we educate the force to handle those situations, or perhaps even facility adjustments that need to be made to deal with those scenarios."

Re: my mind is bottled

  • what the . . .

    I have the fizzy-about-to-explode thing going on in my brain from that too, Noisy.  I would even go so far to call this "idea" the r-word.

  • S/O--did anyone review the survey the military is conducting?  That's mind bottling.

  • Nate Silver had a good post on it. Ridiculous.

  • That is sick.

    My aunt was a very high ranking individual in the Navy. She had a son and an ex husband and no one at work knew she was gay. She is retired now but I am sure there are a lot of people that are not open about being gay in the military and lining up to hop in the gay showers. So guess what bigots, you are still showering with gay people!

  • I do not agree with this tactic being explored in the survey, however I am not surprised based on a lot of the floor discussions prior to it being passed and even some of the committee discussions/press releases that went out.
