Nodler Still Convinced That Repealing DADT Might Kill Soldiers
More brilliant logic from Sen. Gary Nodler (R-Joplin), posted yesterday at The Fuse Joplin:
Responding to the fact that many of our allies, like Great Britain, allow homosexuals to serve openly, Nodler says, "The fact is, in Iraq, and for a period of time in Afghanistan, that happens to be the force that has the highest casualty rate." Continuing, "I can’t say with any certainty that I have any proof that that’s because there’s less comfort from the Iraqis and Afghanis in dealing with those forces, but it might be.
“I believe the highest casualty rate in any of the allied forces has in fact been Great Britain,” Nodler concluded, implying some sort of correlation with casualties and the allowance of homosexuals to serve in the military openly.
According to iCasualties.org, there have been five fatalities for UK soldiers in Iraq since 2008. During that same time period, 473 American soldiers have died in Iraq.
