By Lolita C. Baldor - The Associated PressWASHINGTON — Lawmakers who say the military has kicked out 58 Arabic linguists because they were gay want the Pentagon to explain how it can afford to let the valuable language specialists go.
Seizing on the latest discharges, involving three specialists, members of the House of Representatives wrote the House Armed Services Committee chairman that the continued loss of such “capable, highly skilled Arabic linguists continues to compromise our national security during time of war.”
The story continues on with some further details. For my part, I am comforted to know that while US soldiers continue to die by the hundreds in Iraq, and civilians die by the thousands, at least the military still realizes where the real threat to our way of of life lies.
Whatever idiot(s) OK'd these discharges should be court-martialed, on felony stupidity grounds if nothing else applies.
