Agreed! And if anyone, gay or straight, can meet these physical and mental standard, they should be permitted to serve.

Wanna cause trouble?

Me? No.

Force Americans to accept your twisted views...the same way you refuse to accept the standards of men much greater than you.

I don't want to force Americans to accept anything. I don't care if they accept it or not. They can resist it till their death, that's fine with me. I just want them to obey the laws and the Constitution. I could not care less how they feel about gay people. That's their problem, not mine.

If you knew BH at all, you'd know that what you're saying is pretty much BS. I am no more "pro-gay" (whatever that is) than I am "pro-straight" (whatever that is). What I am is pro-Constitution. What I am is pro-14th and 9th Amendments. I understand that these may not mean anything to you, but they mean something to me.

And I am here stating my opinion about it.

One thing you do have correct. When it comes to equal rights for ALL people, I don't give a good crap what the bigots in the world "feel" about it or how uncomfortable they are. So, you do get a point for that.

He/she has to have it its way or no way.

Clearly, I don't have my way, or we wouldn't be having this discussion, if you want to call it that.
