Wrangler Jane: “...right after dinner Randolph’s taking me to pick wildflowers”
Captain Parmenter: “you’re going to pick wildflowers...at night?”
Agarn: “yes...that’s what makes it...so wild”
I would have agreed with you 20 years ago. But now that gay relationships are a thing in the military, the same issues are at play and so defeat the original argument that men would be ‘distracted’ by an intimate partner since intimate partners on the battlefield nowadays are more likely to be of the male persuasion (who, because of hatred of women in general, would be less likely to want to help a woman soldier) with women left wondering if their back really is covered.
In many ways gays are worse; since they are almost always not monogamous, you end up with multiple gay partners within and across units, services, command levels. They end up being loyal to each other above the unit.
I spent part of my career investigating misbehavior and some of those investigations involved gays and the kid of corruption where certain people were promoted, assigned to the better assignments, given awards if they played along and others discriminated against if they didn't play along.
Any kind of sexual connection is destructive to trust and unit cohesion and will cause us to lose more people and maybe wars too.
Some cops are monsters. It’s a fact of life. These cops are monsters and scum.
