It's not a big deal (gays in the military), to me. I could personally care less. It was a quote from a Gunny Sgt. that I found funny - knowing many a crusty old Gunnery Sgts. Those who have served find the humor in this. That's what it was meant to be - humor.

The difference is that Homosexuals that served before did not announce their sexuality, did not make it an issue in a male dominated environment. The current crop are more interested in being gay then being soldiers. THAT is the difference.
