For the country, then I support them fully. The unit and whatever mission they are on shgould supercede any peersonal issues that any member has. I totally agree with you on all counts with this, especially the last sentence. Much like the gay marriage issue, I hope this won’t count as a threadjack, judges decidng what everyone else should feel is never going to work. Someone that could be on the fence may have a pushback opn a judge telling them how to think, it’s human nature. There is a book called “Roaring Lambs” that equate someone living their life without being in someone’s face and they may soon come to see that that person is not the boogeyman/woman that you first perceived.

I say the universities that are currently boycotting ROTC should be coming out with press statements now detailing their plans to make ROTC available for the January semester. That should give them two months to make the appropriate provisions.

Those that feel they can’t get it done in two months ought to be telling America why they will need until next August and the beginning of the fall semester.

If they can’t get it done by then, they should explain their anti-military bias.

California Fed Dist judges have been ruling the original Ban on gays, then DADT unconstitutional since the Vietnam War. The military yawns, as it only applies to that single district, and then wins on appeal.

Are they doing the same thing here, just with a different kind of press release, or have they caved?

What’s up?

I’m not sure about Harvard, Yale, Brown, etc…but Columbia does have ROTC programs – they have Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps ROTC. Not sure what all the fuss is about, they’ve had it all along.

They going to sign up now in any greater numbers than they already were?

I know for a fact the military isn’t ready for the disorder this is going to cause, either. We sure don’t have individual rooms and showers. Are we going coed now? Anyone thought about that angle?

Just why are female and male soldiers separated in the barracks and shower facilities?

A lot of unanswered questions that neither the government nor this idiot judge has considered.

I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for the uber-left haters entrenched in the hierarchy of the Ivy’s to invite ROTC back onto their campuses any time soon or you’ll end up looking like one of those blue creatures in Avatar.

But what a great recruiting tool this would create for the military:

Join the Army today! Our new co-ed showers will allow you to show your fellow soldiers you’ve got the “right stuff”!

HOMELAND SECURITY UNVEILS NEW BORDER SECURITY STRATEGY: LOSE YOUR JOB!

The leftists just want control of our liberties (or such that we don’t have liberties any longer) but want their jets,helicopters, and other luxurious items which burn much more fossil fuels than any of us would use in a year in our modest homes of 1800 to 3000 square feet without tennis courts with flood lamps to create daylight conditions at midnight. And we are supposed to be ignorant of their hypocrisy and vote to allow them and their stooges to continue to lead us by the nose into national bankruptcy to try for a socialist equilibrium of all nations? Wake up America, make it a good start this November but we must keep pressing onward!

I just walked across the UC Berkeley campus. I crossed paths with an ROTC drill team reciting the Code of Conduct:

“I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.”

To quote a famous First Lady, this is the first time I ever felt proud of my campus.

Banning ROTC is un-American and any school that does so should be banned from receiving any government support or subsidies. DADT is only one reason for their attitude. The other is that they are leftists and would welcome America’s overthrow by either a Communist country or Islamofaciests. This is why both my son, a graduate of Columbia, and I refuse to contribute to the school. Let them seek a contribution fro Amendinajad instead. They love him. LK

Maybe I’m being optimistic, but I actually expect that, for the most part, this will happen, but only when DADT is officially lifted (I suspect this is right around the corner too). I think that there will be too much pressure for universities to avoid the issue. They’ve been harping on DADT for so long, they won’t have a choice but to restart dormant ROTC programs.
