“I did not say it was a choice or not. I was not addressing that. You interpreted it that way. “
By taking the stance that “some people just happen to be gay so they should be allowed to serve” implies that a homosexual’s sexual behaviour is not a choice. It is akin to saying that because they are naturally gay, we should not restrict their ability to join the military. The fact is that homosexuality is a behaviour choice and the fact is that the military excludes many different behaviours, one restricted behaviour is homosexual sex acts.
You are advocating that the military openly accept homosexual behaviour choices. I offered a logical argument that proves, by individual’s desires and homosexual advocacy groups’ agendas, that it is not a natural state of being for any person that choses to be homosexual. I have no issue with any individual’s choice to participate in any behaviour between consenting adults. I do have many issues with forcing the military to accept homosexual behaviour choices.
My own experience in the military gives me the knowledge that it is good policy to not allow homosexual behaviour for military members.
When I said that I didn't mean it as natural or choice. I said that earlier, but easy to miss in all the fray.
Don't people have the right to make that choice?
I am not asking the military to make any such stance on their behavior, except that I did say earlier that harassing and assaulting people are already prohibited. So if some one who's a homosexual decides to violate those rules they would be discharged just as you or I would if we did the same thing with the opposite sex. I don't think the military should take a stance on anything that's a choice, religious beliefs, political affiliation, etc.
The military service has changed a lot since King David headed north with his army and it will change again and again.
I just can't see why somebody's sexual preference choice would exclude them from fulfilling their responsibility top their country. In fact, I think it discriminates against heterosexuals to say that only they can die for their country.
As I said in one of my first posts, homosexuals have been in the military forever and we seemed to have done the job? It just seems like the current policy is idiotic. See a guy with a guy off-base and discharge the guy. That's wasteful and unnecessary for my money.
