Closed minds tend to seek out more closed minds

DADT repeal foes are going to the source: old retired flag officers who think all gays are hairdressers and wusses:

"If an open gay does his job, I think he'll be accepted," Worthington told the Times. "I don't think there is going to be that many of them that want to sign up for SEALs anyway because of the closeness and the tightness of the training. My opinion is that they're probably more clerical oriented. Medical profession. Corpsmen. Stuff like that."

Worthington's bio says he served in Vietnam in 1963, which suggests he's at least 65 years old, probably at least a few years older. It sounds like Worthington goes into the discussion with somewhat settled views on the topic. But it does not surprise me that an admiral who retired from the Navy twenty years ago and writes for Human Events might come in with a pretty sour take on gays serving openly in the Armed Forces.
