I don't think these activists really know what they are asking for. Maybe in some parts of the military a gay person can serve openly and not be bothered. But in the combat arms branches homosexuality is routinely mocked and derided. We are talking about guys from pretty conservative walks of life. Heck, some guys from the South that I served with were shockingly racist.
Combat units should stress unit cohesiveness. I believe that allowing gays in that part of the military would undermine unit integrity and mission readiness. Not to mention fearing for the safety of anyone that is homosexual in a unit like that. I am serious.
Maybe in the non-combat related jobs it could be something that can be accepted, but people have no idea of what they are dealing with when it comes to the combat units.
It is the last boys club. All the good, and the bad of such an organization.
Wow. I just read this entire thread. And I have to say that 90% of the "I knew they were gay" stories are pure BS.
22 years on active duty and as far as I know I served with 3 gays. 2 were female in the same unit and they were discharged immediately. The third was in training and was caught with a dozen gay videos in his locker. I don't know what happened to him as I started my retirement out processing that day. Knowing the Commander and 1st Sergeant of the company he was probably out of the military before I was.
Now, knowing all that, no one will ever convince this retired Sergeant First Class that openly gay serving in the military is any kind of a good thing.

It's a sad day when Americans think we need homos as warriors to defend our country.
Real men, not sodomites, founded this country.

A dozen gay videos in his locker? Then he wanted out. When I was in the service, lockers were inspected on a regular basis. Only a fool would have a single gay video, much less a dozen. Sorry, if you say so, but you story sounds made up. You know, "pure BS".

You must have led a seriously sheltered career. Seriously.
Well maybe the military will at least get some snazzier looking uniforms
