I think any fooling around on any job no matter what orientation you are breaks rules

Ok I haven't been on much and this may have already been discussed but
What is your opinion on it? Mine is this GAYS ARE PEOPLE just like
anyone else and these people are citzens in AMERICA. Why should we give
them a free ride? That's just what it is too. Because men and women have
paid the price for freedom for hundreds of years and because of thier
preferences in something that has NOTHING to do with protecting our
country. Anyway yeah I just thought I'd see what other people think.

Homosexuals have always been everywhere. It is not new to the world. We just know about them more now. If homosexuals have already been everywhere why stop them now?

I know! In Ancient Greece, it was way common! With the schools and the Isle of Lesbos...


Sounds like Greece was fun.

well to the last comment. First I am a veteran of Desert Storm and am
here to say democracy doesn't play in the military. The military is (by
definition) a dictatorship. It has to be to work.
Second in a platoon the men have to function like parts of a machine;
all working perfectly together. If one part doesn't mesh with the rest
the machine breaks down and lives are lost. This will happen if a
platioon has a known gay in it. Remember all it has to take is one
soldier feeling uncomfortable for the machine to break down. Wether that
is fair or not to the Gays is irrelivant. Because that is reality and we
can't risk a soldiers life because someone wants to be openley Gay in
the military.
And by the way "don't ask don't tell" doesn't work gays are found out
eventually.
On a civilian note I don't have ANYTHING against gays except in the
military


Right on!
Grunts dont play that chit.
You must have been a Grunt!drinker

You know what? I got this to say about it.
I couldn't give a rats ass about your sexual prefrence...In the heat of
battle....are you gonna cover my back as well as I will yours? We both
want to get the job done and come home safe and in one peice.


Now this is what I call a secure Male. drinker The funny thing is that most straight males in the services have no idea they are fighting along side gay men in most cases.

I agree with what the General said on the matter.
The United States military is voluntary, and is only interested
in the best people available.
Gays fall short of that due to their perverted lifestyle, and therefore
unsuitable for military life.
This is not my opinion, its a fact based on previous comments by most
politicians elected by you the people of the United States of America,
and since when do we care what of countries do, let them recruit all the
gays they want, just don,t come to war against us.


What's perverted is your ignorance. In most cases you wouldn't know you were fighting along side a gay man unless the jumped your a$$ and frankly you shouldn't flatter yourself that he would want you.

I have a gay family member that served his country for 10 years honorably, and never felt the need to discuss or flaunt his private life. He was there to serve his country and do his job and did so. Period! I am thankful for the gays that are willing to serve despite the ignorance of such thinking. If they are good enough to serve and die for our freedom, they are good enough for me!!

If Lincoln could be President and sleep with Buck Tailed Lieutenants in the White House.... Oh yah that's different. Like footsie in the airport or chasing congressional pages. Maybe if they registered as republicans it would be okay. But then they wouldn't serve would they.

If straight men are not homophobic there would be no stress in the lines. They need to get over it. Sexual orientation does not make or break a soldier. There are gays in all sports, there are gays in all uniforms. It is funny that somehow heterosexual men are considered stronger, more level headed, etc...

Do straight men realize that gay men do not want them? For the most part gay men stay clear of straight men especially is picking lovers.

That is bull****

every gay man I knew of in the Navy was discharged (and some beaten) for fondling men while they slept.

It is not common because if it was it would be well known. So if you personally experienced it, it is not the norm.

There can be sexual predators in all sexual orientations but being gay does not make you one automatically as some homophobs will try to say. And like you they will make it sound like they know when they do not.

There have been gays in the military of every nation to ever have armed forces, a navy or even a civil defense force.

Being gay is nothing new folks. There are gay priests, politicians, bricklayers, teachers, judges, line workers, grocery store clerks, lumberjacks, accountants, fast food workers and so on.

It's amazing to me that people think this is something new.

Being gay makes you no more likely and it's my guess it might make you less likely to initiate unrequested physical contact with another person for fear of being beaten or worse.

You fear mongers make me ill.
