FDRQ need not apply...BTW, Happy (belated) FRanniversary!
VERY good post.
VERY good post.
The scenario you describe has happened all too frequently in the US military for many years, but not with HIV, with hepatitis.
Hepatitis is in fact the more serious threat, because different types are spread not just by blood contamination, but orally as well. Besides that, the military has to contend on a regular basis with bacterial and viral meningitis outbreaks, severe outbreaks of MRSA, Necrotizing Fasciitis (the “flesh eating” bacteria), and the ever popular, if less lethal Norwalk virus and Influenza.
This is not to justify homosexuals in the military, but among their other problems, HIV transmission is pretty low on the totem pole. The military also tests for it, regularly, and it is grounds for discharge.
bump.
(footnote: remember active homosexuals can not donate blood)
That was a wonderful explanation
about how the Gay lifestyle
does not belong
in the military
FDRQ need not apply...One of the better vanities I’ve read here at FR.
Our servicemen deserve better. Much better.
Aren’t gays already allowed in the military? How does letting them serve openly affect this?
Why the post? Are you truly concerned with the health and efficiency of the military or are you trying to further the homosexual agenda with isolated examples? I suspect the latter.
