I found the above picture and the below Rachel Maddow clip on Towleroad. This just breaks my heart to think that qualified men and women who want to serve our country are being denied that right. Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach is being discharged two years shy of his retirement with full benefits, only because he is gay. Everyone in our government is discussing “fiscal responsibility” and we’re throwing out $25million in training.
I was so happy when Obama was elected… I’m beginning to think he’s just as bad for gays as Bush. He has yet to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell as he campaigned, and he just sits there allowing these fine men and women to be discharged. Mr. President, your silence makes you complicit in these acts. Would you feel the same way if these men and women were being discharged based on the color of their skin? The President can stop this… he just chooses not to.
Shameful…
On another note… the dude is effing HOT!
