It is outrageous that any competent person who wants to serve in the military cannot. I was particularly disturbed when a number of gay Arabic language translators were kicked out when we had such a shortage of people to screen intercepts. Rather than “don’t ask, don’t tell” the practical standard should be “don’t ask, don’t flaunt”. And this should be for both gays and straights. In active duty people should be business-like and not flaunting/exploiting their attractiveness or desires (consider the number of rape cases occurring).

Most gays are vulnerable to blackmail because of their lifestyle. That fact alone makes that them unfit to serve, and in fact, a potential danger to those around them.

Wow, another one. I call BS on the “gay” Arabic translators. The truth was there were Jewish Arabic translators who weren’t hired.

Currently, all a homosexual has to do (as long as they otherwise qualify - serving in the military is not a right) is not flaunt it. Why is that too much to ask?

And you’re correct about homosexual rape. There is way too much in the military, and the only way to stop it is to kick out all the homosexuals, which is what should be done. And hopefull will happen.

I do agree with you on leave your sexuality at home and do your job.

Nope gays and straights are not equal and should not be treated as such. I've served with many who had pics of wives and family on their bunks, lockers or workstations, I don't want to see pics of some guy's BF. Also we had many functions where families were invited, luncheons, dinners, home get-togethers, military dances, I don't want to see a bunch of homos dancing with their partners or bringing them to any of these functions and telling me how great they're relationship is.

If the Boy Scouts are smart enough to see the danger of letting homo pervs take charge of their young troops, surely the military can see that the danger of placing these predatory homo pervs in charge of their young virile troops would be like putting foxes in charge of hen houses. Homos are mentally sick in the head, that alone makes them incompetent to serve.

A reasoned post. I agree.
