Default I was thinking last night ...

.... about how much things have changed in the last 50 years and how far
liberal thinking has influenced those changes in the USA. Not saying
all is bad but it certainly is a different world. For example:

When I first entered military service in 1968 being "gay" was cause for
immediate discharge. There were logical reasons for this policy, the
most important being that in those days the stigma associated with being
gay could potentially cause attempts at blackmail orchestrated by our
adversaries, especially to those who held security clearances and had
access to classified or sensitive documents.

Fast forward to today.

Now a guy in the military, confused as to his/her gender identity,
compromises 750,000 documents, many containing classified data that
exposed people to risk and probably death, is found guilty, sentenced to
35 years but has that sentence commuted by a progressive liberal
president in the last days of his term and .. has or is now going to
have a sex change procedure paid for by the Army (the taxpayers).

I wonder how many of the socialist European countries that Harry admires
so much would allow for this on their nickel.
