“Colbert Nation” Takes on DADT


On Tuesday's "Formidable Opponent" segment of "Colbert Nation from Iraq," Stephen Colbert illustrated the absurdity of DADT. The argument that openly gay service members somehow undermine unit cohesion and military readiness are exposed as the empty myths that they are, to the applause of service members in Iraq.

Well then again… I don’t think they would boo anyways since Colbert was nice enuff to come out and do the show for them.

So soldiers, sailors and airmen aren’t as close minded as the leadership that put out the lame excuses and are stuck in old ways of thinking. Who would have thought. Knowing the fact that everyone really is created equal, who knows, we might even get a black president. :-)

His show was funy as hell btw.
