Side note: I know a gay man who says he doesn’t think his propensity to cry and faint in the face of danger would make him a good military man.
Actually, it matters not a whit what we think. We volunteer to serve our country and if our country wants us to serve with open gays, wear flowers in our hair or invade Canada, that's what we do.
Sure, I have an opinion on the matter but in the military, I do what I'm told.
