Totalitarians thrive by controlling things that make no sense because every time they try to express their ignorant opinion it gets debunked.

If unisex showers became the norm - - - no one is going to care or notice. They're just gonna do what they are there for and move on to the next project/assignment.

Cool story.
Glad you're here to inform everyone how they think.
Too bad you're wrong.
I was talking about pro--gays in the military supporters not gays themselves.

I think that's very cynical
To me you are saying that heterosexual men are horny dogs with no family values.

No one is saying there isnt still an anti war movement. There IS...just look around.
but the war IS happening. and people dont want gays to be discriminated against in the military, period. Just because we're in a war right at this moment, that the same people are against, doesnt mean gays shouldnt have the right to fight in the war openly, if they want to.
Its not putting one thing over the other.

If something is part of your job or your job routine - - you adjust - it becomes norm - - and you don't think about it anymore.

Oh, gotcha. So... all pro gays are anti-military is what you're saying.
Glad you cleared that up. That makes it so much better.... promise.

My opinions is that they should give everyone access to private showers, that's the first and foremost initiative that needs to be done.
GOOD! Get his ass out of the military.
They don't need separate showers.
If men and women shared showers - - they'd giggle for a few days then get over it - - as it became the norm.
People just need to grow up and get over it.
Grow up? Are you trying to make people agree with you by humiliating them into submission?
Hey you know what, gays are only in the military to check out other guys's butts
Hey you know what, If you had unisex showers and you are a man you would giggle and love it.
What's the difference between those two sentences?
You are against generalizations if it's on the other side of the debate fence but okay with it if it's in yours?
I think you need to grow up
And no I would not like unisex showers because I have sisters, aunties, a mother and a wife and one day a daughter.

Thirdeye, I understand that gays are out in the world. Gays don't frighten me in the least.
English is apparently not your first language, or you'd have understood I spoke of COMBAT ARMS.
And as far as you shooting me, well, many have tried on many occasions, and every single time, we were vastly outnumbered.
And I'm still here.
I'd not bet on your chances of surviving such an attempt, just based on the record.

Ummm... I think if we are talking about showers the key point is nudity
so your point is moot

some people love gambling and '___',
but it destroys lives and families.
Homosexuality does the same thing.
He and a lot of others will not silently
sit by while wuss politicians turn
soldiers into wussies.
I applaud this Officer for standing up
and being counted. There will be more.
He has my full support.
