There goes the "volunteer" armed forces, and the espirit de corps of the ones who are already serving.

If this passes, I know I wouldn't even consider joining.

So now, if a soldier grabs another soldiers crotch while sleeping in the barracks, you don't report it to your superiors. You just beat him to a pulp and declare you were assaulted. If hes bigger than you, you just wait for an “accident” to happen so you can end it. With all those weapons, it shouldn't take long.

And if its a mutual ball grab, everyone can laugh while watching them hump away. They can be sent on suicide missions.

This will work its self out among the ranks. They wont need another law from the senate after they allow gays to join.

I suspect our armed forces will be self-policing to deal with this issue.

You can bet this will hurt recruitment in the South, Midwest, and Inter-mountain West - where most of our Soldiers come from.

This is another nail in our coffin.

I hope that someday there is a terrible vengeance placed on these quislings who would destroy our country. All those who support this in the Military (Gates and Mullen) may they rot in hell as well. Morally speaking, all those in support of this travesty are lower than Civil War Bushwhackers and Bandits.
