OK, you are lying, the military is not 8% homosexual and I have given you every chance to substantiate your claim.

I said “hot bed of homosexuality” because if the young male military was 8% homosexual then it would truly be wild times, no one would be able to control that mob and the violence from conflict etc.

Like I said I don’t know what was going on in your units to convince you that 1 out of 12 Marines is homosexual, that is unique to you, I have never heard anyone that believed such a thing.

So, I did not read that article? Or is this all going way over your head?

Wow! I cannot follow your reasoning here. First off, the military is predominately male. Secondly, what percentage of U.S. citizens would you say identify themselves as homosexual? More than eight? Around eight? And when you observe everyday behavior by people, can you just see the "hot bed" around you -- and the wild and rampant homosexual behavior? Imagine now an atmosphere where one would be punished for revealing one's homosexuality. Wild times? That's a stretch only a dedicated homophobic could conjure up.

Like I said I don’t know what was going on in your units to convince you that 1 out of 12 Marines is homosexual, that is unique to you, I have never heard anyone that believed such a thing.

Yeah. About that. You never said (or wrote) anything like this so I have no idea where this opening to your first sentence is coming from. I served with nearly a 400 to 500 Marines and Sailors who I had familiarity. And of those, I suspected strongly that seven were homosexual. That's less than one percent, I know. But that does not mean that there was not more as the article suggested. It's very possible that there was a homosexual population that, if not mirroring the civilian population, came close to it. Though why, if true, would this like like "hot beds" and "wild times" when society doesn't even look like that; not even with the homosexual population that is prominently displayed on television.
