In the past two years, the Department of Defense has discharged 37 linguists from the Defense Language Institute for being gay. Many studied Arabic. At a time of heightened need for intelligence specialists, 37 linguists were rendered useless because of their homosexuality. Lunacy. ("rendered useless" -- odd choice of words? It's not like they can no longer function as linguists. Discarded, maybe.) |
