G@y soldiers dismissed under DADT since '04 receive backpay

I'm glad that the theme of getting paid for nothing has reached the US military as well.

What do you mean by "backpay"? :P

Really great news.

I will freely admit that I had no idea that soldiers discharged under DADT only received half-pay. Reading about it now, it seems absolutely ridiculous. But I'm glad that it's finally being corrected.

Awesome news. Free blow... backpay for everyone!

Some good news for once.

So wait let me guess this straight. They knew full well the rules on coming out and being in gay but because of some bleeding heart they now get probably close to 300k for doing nothing. yes descrimination is wrong. Should they get the money , No

[QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"][QUOTE="zenogandia"]Of course they should. Why is being openly gay earn you a ticket out of serving your country?

I can't understand why bible thumpers hate them so much.

It's ridiculous that they didn't recieve it in the first place.

300K? More like $13,000 per person on average. They are just getting the rest of their severance pay.

Good for them.

Can't believe youre sour over this. Yeah, DADT was an army rule. But that doesn't make the rule right, or acceptable.

Rules change especially unfair ones. But I am sad this upsets you so much, you are a bitter and twisted individual.

Men and women who served their country faithfully in the armed forces and who were later dismissed based on something that had nothing at all to due with their military service get back pay for many years.

nocoolnamejim

And the thing is, breaking military rules by definition has something to do with their military service. The military has a huge amount absurd rules and when you join it, you should be expected to follow them. Like it or not.

Actually they're only getting paid the same amount as any other serviceman would for a similar discharge, but don't let facts get in the way of your anal trauma.

You act as if I approve of all severace pay outside of DADT violation. I don't actually.

But painting me as homophobic is probably easier for you I suppose....

mmm your trolling is getting good, all the practice is finally paying off

Good for them, if you serve your country you deserve to be treated with respect(and your full pay).

In what way did I paint you as a homophobe? I said nothing at all to imply that.
