Let me clarify, I know that gays are in the military but not openly. I am sure that many are fine soldiers. And I am sure many are not as there are many heteros that aren’t fine soldiers either. My point is to see if the those who are the activists line up to join.
And per your comment, should I assume the one gay person you knew wasn’t a good soldier?
You are correct in your presumption, but he was one of many that I was unfortunate enough to meet during my career.
