If you are a heterosexual, you are in danger.

Earth to folks...Rupaul would not be able to make it through boot camp and gays emulate him/her so I don’t think you will see an influx of gays joining the military. First they would have to get through boot camp. Some of them really could not handle that. I really believe that nothing would change. Maybe that one guy who was outted by a former friend would be able to stay, but otherwise I can’t see how those fems would join.
Military Quote of the Day:
“When I joined the military it was illegal to be homosexual, then it became optional. I’m getting out before it becomes mandatory!”
If a homo lays hands on a hetero, under the new proposed rules, the homo will have the upper hand. I predict murders over this. All of it is unnecessary. Just another way for Obama to humiliate and create dissent in the military.
“Gays in Military = Sex in Barracks”
Newsflash, there is already sex in the barracks.
I got F’d-overed many times while in the Navy, but that was figuratively not literally.
It will change because then they will demand that the military march in gay pride parades and recruit at gay pride events. It is already happening. Also it will lead to people who dare express any affront to homosexual bad behavior being placed at risk. Say you are in the barracks and sexually harassing language or touching occurs that is considered “all in fun to homosexuals” those that dare report it would find themselves to the disadvantage. People say nothing would change. It already is and for the worse.
Yes there is but this is an order of magnitude different.
Thanks - guess it’ll be a busy ping thing day. I appreciate the alerts.
The military has shown tremendous inability to keep male and female service members from engaging in sexual activity, and that's with highly segregated berthing areas. That problem, but with gays, is only going to become exponentially greater because there's no way to segregate the gays from each other. This is going to be a moral and discipline nightmare.
You could be right...I stand by the fact that gays will not make it through boot camp. How are they going to????? Have you ever seen them play sports??? They aren’t very coordinated.
Ummm ... Homosexuals have been allowed to legally serve in the military ever since Bill Clinton instituted "Don't Ask - Don't Tell" in 1993.
They just have to keep their mouths shut. (No pun intended.)
Only those of us that served prior to 1993 have ever experienced a military where homosexuals were not allowed to legally serve in the military. That excludes the vast majority of the current active duty population.
It is unnecessary. There are gay men and women who serve without a problem. What does being open about your sexuality have anything to do with doing your job? It is inappropriate for heterosexuals or homosexuals. Sex isn’t about pride it is about privacy and this effort is driven by activism pure and simple and it will be used to change policy and change the atmosphere even further against anyone who has any sense of morality or modesty. I think the military should be forced to consider privacy concerns. There are already many same sex attacks and sexual harassment that go unreported in the military. It would only get worse.
Here is the case of Cody Openshaw which the media still hasn’t seen fit to report much on.

The Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Conway, honestly expressed his concerns to Congress last week while most of the other bureaucrats in the Pentagon are busy protecting their careers. I have 2 sons in the military who will be counting the days until they can get out if this horrible exercise in political correctness is inflicted upon our services.
““When I joined the military it was illegal to be homosexual, then it became optional. I’m getting out before it becomes mandatory!””
LOL!
That's not entirely accurate. The Army Chief of Staff, as well as the current Secretary of the Army (former Republican Congressman, John McHugh) both were critical of the decision in a Congressional hearing last week; It was quite clear that both thought it a poor idea.
They already do and you can be sure that as the leadership gets infiltrated that the rules will change they already have to allow more women in the military. The key thing to remember is that the removal of this policy will be used to open up the military for more and more activism which has no place in our fighting forces and endangers our young men and women who go into the military to serve their country not to face sexual abuse and harassment which will only increase. The reason we don’t hear about it now is because it is usually only reported when it involves men in reference to women such as tail-hook. Their is a veil of silence and not just in the military but in the political and media world in general.
When I was in the military, some guys decided to get out, claiming to be homo’s.
While their paperwork was being processed they moved to series of special barracks. We had various names for those but that isn’t the point.
The worst scutt duty was be put on night watch for those barracks to keep an orgy from breaking out.
