"You are correct, sodomy in the UCMJ is not just homosexuality"

How many heteros, married or otherwise, do you suppose have been court-martialed for oral sodomy?

How many heteros, married or otherwise, do you suppose have perfomed oral sodomy?

How many heteros, married or otherwise, do you suppose have been court-martialed for oral sodomy?

There have been many, probably a dozen or so a year across all branches of military service.

You are unlikely to find oral sodomy charged alone--whether homosexual or heterosexual. It will generally be an add-on offense to a charge of adultery or conduct unbecoming an officer. But yes, it is prosecuted. At least it was when I was in the military.

How many of those you postulated had violated Article 125 for other than sodomy held a news conference and announced their violations? How many of those demanded that the rules be changed for them?

As has been noted in other replies on this thread, those who think they are homosexuals but who stay celibate are not committing any crime under any secular law. Additionally, those homosexuals who do not stay celibate but don't get caught (i.e., are very discreet) and keep their mouths shut don't create problems for themselves (outside of early death, Aids and other STDs) either beyond those noted below.

The morality and honor of the situation just described is still degenerate. Additionally, as noted, the homosexuals in the original post of this thread were still placing themselves in compromising situation as far as potential blackmail for classified information is concerned.

It is exceptionally doubtful that those you postulated as violating Article 125 for reasons other than homosexuality would be subject to potential blackmail. Consequently, could you please restate your objection in practical terms.
