The suited man shrieks, “Gays and straight cant serve in the military side by side! It’s not natural!” while the military man thinks, “This sounds oddly familiar…” In the next panel, labeled “1980s,” an imposing man in a period suit shouts at the camera, “Women and men can’t serve in the military side by side, it’s not natural!” In the third panel, labeled “1940s,” another imposing man in a period suit shouts at the camera, “Coloreds and whites can’t serve in the military side by side, it’s not natural!”]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx1fazkji21r7z0uto1_400.jpg)

This is almsot the exact conversation I had with my mother. Seriously, almost verbatim. The only difference is that it was in person and my mom’s end was said through screaming and sobbing.
One week from today, the military will officially be done with Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Judging from the upcoming Marine Corps Times cover story, it looks like the military’s ready.
Soldiers goofing around in the barracks, listening to Britney. And people are worried about gays in the military? I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be ok, lol.
