Gays "Immoral," Criminals Fine

By The Daily Dish

A reader points out something that Peter Pace forgot to mention:

"The military routinely grants waivers to admit recruits who have criminal records, medical problems or low aptitude scores that would otherwise disqualify them from service. Overall the majority are moral waivers, which include some felonies, misdemeanors, and traffic and drug offenses."

But a soldier who has a perfectly legal relationship is immoral? Even someone from Massachusetts who is legally married? I think Pace just had a Kaus moment. At least we now know what he thinks about gays - and the many gay servicemembers who are currently at war.
