I don't understand why gays and lesbians are disallowed from serving in the military. If they are physically and mentally qualified for the job, and they can work professionally in a military environment, just like everyone else who serves, why is their sexuality an issue?
There are plenty of gay and lesbian firefighters, cops, and paramedics and there doesn't seem to be any sort of systemic problem with them doing those sorts of jobs, even in the company of straight people, so why the military exemption?
It's a cause they really like to, "get behind."
We've had gays in the Israeli Defence Force for years and it has never really been an issue. I'm not sure I understand the rational for excluding them in the US -- assuming the US still lets in men who pick up women in bars, sleep with prostitutes, etc.
when can we start the gay "surge" jokes? is it too early?
Pretty soon, if the liberals get their way, this is what our military will look like
