I hadn't seen that before. God help us.

The military recruits pretty heavily from the more conservative sectors of society, including Christians. If you get open homosexual vice, you're going to have a recruitment/retention problem in terms of the "morally straight" troops, and the military is going to deteriorate into a sexually predatory subculture like the prison system: men intimidating men.

Am I overstating this?

I don’t know.

I believe the problem initially is going to come from command, the troops in the field are not going to put up with gay behavior.

Generals and lower commanders like this Bostick are not going to be thinking of anything but climbing the ladder and it won’t help morale in the least.

It definitely could put a crimp in recruitment, especially with Christians and Jewish people. It can’t help our military in any way, IMO.
