Omnibus Trolls R Us Thread

[Velocity]

There’s **levdrakon **in the Should-the-military-accept-deaf-people thread:
He starts out fairly reasonably:

@levdrakon

The US military is big on equal opportunity. Deaf people should have the same equal opportunity as everyone, which means serving in combat units and the ability to hold command positions in combat units. If we can’t guarantee EO, then we’re discriminating

Then:

@levdrakon

We could afford deaf interpreters for every deaf person wanting to join the military.

Then:

@levdrakon

@Velocity

Can we afford assistants for every blind person wanting to join the military?

Sure. Take the F-35’s budget.

I’d rather have a deaf person watching my back than an F-35.

When **Ravenman **challenged him to provide facts and evidence, he counters:

@levdrakon

You’ll get that, when you give me a dollar value on why Deaf Peeps can’t serve their country.

And later:

@levdrakon

Ooh, you got me. I just dropped off the turnip truck onto this board today!

How about you address the OP? Do you have a reasoned opinion on why the DoD budget can’t accomodate Deafs? Are we broke? OMG, we just can’t defend ourselves if we let those Deafies in! Our budget can’t handle it! OMG!
