    Default Pentagon to extend certain benefits to same-sex spouses

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/...2e2_story.html

    The Pentagon has decided to extend certain benefits to the spouses of gay and lesbian personnel, according to officials and people notified about the decision, responding to the increasingly vocal appeals of same-sex couples in the military.

    Seems like the same sex marriage train is moving along nicely.

    Saw a news clip of a lesbian married to a military member. She was petitioning the military wives club because they refused to let her join. Awkward!

    I refuse to believe that you have landed yourself a hot new PFC male military member.

    I mean, that's insane.

    Why is it awkward? She's a wife, isn't she?

    What exactly does "she" mean ?

    I mean, if you ask some, "she" could be a very functional male who simply wants to be a female.

    Or the "botom" in a male/male homo relationship.

    What's "she" ?

    Heterosexual guilt = white guilt.

    Get over it. Everyone.

    & Certainly more briskly than that defense-of-nation train, which's remained more or less sessile since 1945.

    Generals need a hobby (Lord knows, their profession's lost on 'em), & since no one (Allen, Petraeus) can handled the hetero-ships very well, maybe try some same-o/same-o.

    Anyone see the connection betw. armed forces peripheral obsessions of the past 40 yr (drug testing, wim-in-combat, et al.) & their utter disdain for that oath they all take?
