Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Pandering to homosexuals is a disgrace and it weakens the moral fiber of this country. However, it doesn't surprise me any more that our courts and the law in general are growing more and more subservient. We are doomed to go the way Greece did.

If you are willing to volunteer to serve and defend your country and put your life on the line for the rest of us, I don't think it matters what your gender or sexual preference is.

Certainly if a "straight" woman - mother, wife - can serve the country as a US citizen then US citizens who are "gay" ought to do the same ... no questions asked.

Troops don't really care anymore, the most important thing is are you going to have my back when things go bad. I have served in the military and never cared whether the person I was with was gay or straight. I only cared that they were going to be there if we were under fire doing what they were trained to do. It wouldn't weaken the morale, it would only make those who live the lifestyle more comfortable and less afraid of being discharged for being gay when they are doing what many people are too afraid to do, defending their country.

Do the Russians, Chinese and other superpowers have gays in their armies? It is tough enough to have to fight insurgents and other hateful enemies, but now you would also have to be concerned about all the issues that come along with an openly gay army. How about a special division for openly gay men and women and a separate division for the straight-laced soldiers. That would solve it, wouldn't it? But where to deploy these gay troops and what is the opponent going to do? Run away from the advances?

EdGabor7 - Why are you so afraid of homosexuals? Perhaps you have some homosexual feelings of your own that you're too scared to deal with. Classic case of self loathing.

Any person honorable enough to defend this nation, deserves 100% support. Who cares who you would rather sleep with? The divorce rates aren't same sex couples! The consistant number of Domestic Violence reports are also NOT same sex couples. So, stop being afraid of something that works out better. Homosexuals aren't sexually assualting or raping their fellow soliders, it's the idiot heterosexuals. MST is extremely high and has been for over 50yrs. Serving this Country is about tolerance- race, gender, and espacially sexual orientation. :)

i wish it was in place when i was in. i most likely would have stayed in for my 20, but i am happy that the other people in now have more freedom than i did. i had to hide my life for 13 years. then i was outed by a person on my ship and that is when i know it was time to put in my paper.

What choices a person makes in their lives should not have any bearing on what they choose to do in their future, if they are brave enough to go fight for our country then we need to be thankful for having such brave people in our military..for a person not to be allowed to enlist and fight for his/her country i would call that discrimination..i have alot of friends who are gay/lesbian and i never feel threatened to be around them. As long as a person is happy with themselves, don't worry about what others think..
