Perhaps in a firefight, your penis wouldn't be too high on the priority list. If it is, then you have greater issues than can be worked out on this
board.
We've all heard the "affecting the ability to perform" point before, but ethnic soldiers hasn't destroyed esprit de corps, nor has adding women
done likewise.
Maybe i dont want to be stared at by a gay person in the showers.....like a women wont like that.
Maybe that option is available, especially considering the volunteer status our military now enjoys. As for what the soldier's think, they should do
what they are told provided it's lawful.
Maybe i dont want a gay dude in my squad falling in love with another dude in my squad. Maybe i dont want that squad member doing crazy stuff
in order for the dude he is in love with not to get hurt.
Maybe it's not all about you, hard as that may be to believe.
I think it's time America grew up about sex and the realities of both the world and humanity. It's childish really.
Maybe you dont want gay folks to be bashed and shunned? Maybe you dont want a gay dude to be left behind because it 'was for the misson
sir'.
You're right, I don't, but I am comfortable with the level of professionalism the military has, and it's ability to improvise, adapt, and
overcome.
Isn't that what it's known for?
Give me a break....this will cause tons of problems.
If you cant see that you are BLIND.
Of course it will, but since I wasn't talking to you and you didn't read my previous post you wouldn't know that I already said it would.
Doing the right thing sucks sometimes, but suck it up.
