Jeez, you must be a general in the Jag corps or the pubic affairs officer for the Chairman of the JCS to defend a position like that.
It’s no different from what happens in prison. You trap a bunch of young horny men where there are no women, add young gay men and you watch what happens. The straight guys will find ways to justify their behavior that doesn’t identify them as gay - just like occurs in prison. Some will be guilt ridden and kill the gay guys...it’s just a fact. I’m not defending anything, just making an observation. It’s another reason it’s “don’t ask don’t tell”, the generals don’t want sex in the barracks, with all the conflict and distraction it will bring. Forcing the gays to keep their mouths shut allows gays in the military to be workable, as soon as it is obvious they are gay, it’s no longer workable.
It’s only slightly different from having women serve on ships or in combat, the women are vulnerable to rape and it creates conflict, jealousies, and more.
The gays fighting to repeal “don’t ask don’t tell” have no clue what they will create if they succeed - this isn’t the Netherlands.
I was in the Marines quite a while back and I saw all of the above.
