Because you can't have a Captain falling in love with some Sergeant in his company, or a Sergeant falling in love with a corporal in the platoon.
That's happening now with women being in the military. Are you going to kick them out because someone finds one attractive? That's just silly. If women really want true equality in the military, they should be willing to go where ever they're sent.
Not all positions...and particularly not the combat arms of the services...are compatible with all the touchy feely nonsense you seem to embrace. As I said, for the same reasons gays should not, and IMHO must not, be in combat arms or any other postion requiring decisions regarding the life and death decisions of their compatriots, woman should also not be serving with men in those positions.
Say what you will...think what you will...it will not change these facts of life one iota.
It's not silly. It's the GD'd regulations. And if you don't like them or won't follow them, then get the F*** out of the US military.
Fraternization is punishable by the UCMJ. The situations you pose fall into that category. Homos are known to have "dangerous" sexual habits. Read that to mean AIDS, Hepatitis, etc. Not saying that heteros don't, but statistics don't lie.
Because of Clintoon, a Commander or First Sgt. can not ask if they suspect a military member is homo. That puts the rest of the unit in a potentially dangerous situation.
If two servicemembers of the opposite sex fall in love in a military unit and one could have a supervisory position over the other, then one is moved. In the AF, officer/enlisted relationships are punishable. The officer usually gets courtmartialed.
One thing that nobody has touched on yet.
Alot of these socalled "homos" use it as an excuse to get out of their military obligation. I would venture to say that less than 30% of these are actually lapsmokers. The military has strict rules. Enlistees and officers are made aware of those rules. Most usually know about the homo policy prior to joining, yet they do anyway. When the true homos go before the press with their sob story, they are trying to do one thing and one thing only...destroy the military institution.
Your rose colored glasses towards sexually deviant behavior by military members who are supposed to uphold high standards, follow strict orders, obey their leadership and regulations gives the impression that you are a closet socialist.
All of what I have said is from my experiences and training in the USAF as a First Sgt.

It probably doesn't mean much to you, and you probably will not agree with this either, but putting women in combat troops, or in front line capacities at all is wrong and should not be happening, in my opinion.
But there is no possible way women can be "equal" in the military, unless they are filling administrative jobs.
Your comments resemble and confirm the Famous French saying...."All women are Bi-Sexual by their very nature".
