These morons claim that allowing homosexuals to serve openly in our military will somehow make our military “stronger”.

Are they just saying this to get the bill passed, or is there some study that shows this to be true? How can potential conflicts between straight soldiers and homos in a military setting, which is in so many ways so different than civilian life, in any way make the military more combat effective or stronger?

How many potentially good fighting men will the Military lose if this goes through?...who wants to go to boot camp or basic training knowing that some of the cadre could very well be part of a gang of homosexuals?

And, how can increased amounts of sexual activity, sexual harassment, sexual assault and more difficulties in retention and recruitment make it stronger?
