The pro-****** side is still arguing with emotionalism than with actual facts. The Bass has served in the military as an officer and if the Bass was a commander he would have a hard time telling his troops that they're homophobic for feeling uncomfortable being in an open shower around a bunch faggots-er men who are attracted to other men. Most of those pushing the issue have no served in the military and or if they have are supporting lifting DADT because they want to say and do what the boss[Obama] wants to hear.
As for Bikerfaggot, the military loses more people because of better paying jobs and less restrictive working conditions in the civilian sector than the faggots who get kicked out for being in violation of military regulations against homosexuality, these faggots knew for a fact that hgomosexuality is against the regulation before they joined, so their frustration at being unable to serve openly as a penis jockey in the military is self inflicted .
You served as a peon officer. We need to get that straight. The officers at the top of the chain of command for the entire military see things different.
I did serve if you are wondering. I served with a few gay Marines as well. We all knew about one of them.. but nobody had issues with it because he performed when he was expected to. We gave him a hard time.. we called him names.. but it was all in good fun.
The gay Marines with whom I served all knew they were in the military to serve their country.. not to score some ass with another Marine. They also knew where the line was drawn and they never crossed it.
The problem with the men under your command wasn't their own personal feelings towards homosexuals in their ranks. The problem was they had a man leading them who probably encouraged harassment towards any gay veterans under his command.
If you were an officer.. and you would take such a stance.. then your service is shit. You are exactly like the ass holes who gave the exact same argument against racial integration in the military.
