wook77 | DADT

I'm so beyond enraged at the lack of even a fucking debate on the amendment to repeal DADT that I wanted to throw things and yell and scream (and maybe cry).

Instead, I went to Rodney Glassman's campaign website and signed up to volunteer with his election campaign. He is John McCain's biggest opponent and I'm going to work my ass off to get McCain out of office after this latest stunt. At least if I fail, I can say I did something about it other than throwing things around.

Also, it's never a bad time for the following video:

I'm also sort of in love with Sen Dan Inouye from Hawaii:

Just a little step back in history, if I may say so? On December 7, 1941, something terrible happened in Hawaii. Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese. Three weeks later, the government of the United States declared that all Japanese Americans, citizens born in the United States of Japanese ancestry were to be considered enemy alien. As a result, like those undocumented people, they could not put on the uniform of this land. Well, I was 17 at that time, and naturally I resented this because I loved my country and I wanted to put on a uniform to show where my heart stood, but we were denied, so we petitioned the government and a year later, they said okay, if you wish to volunteer, go ahead. Well, to make a long story short, the regiment I served in, made up of Japanese Americans, had the highest casualties in Europe, but the most decorated in the history of the United States.
