There is a record setting waiting list of applicants for the military due to the recession.
What is being missed here is that gays are no more represented in the military then they are in civilian life and a case can be made they are represented less due to the strenuous duties possible and fear of being “dealt with by heteros” regardless of the law. As for the disciplinary action taken against those not happy with gays rooming with them, showering with them, etc, they would need a witness before any action would be taken against an accused hetero soldier. My guess is that when these “mid night counselling sessions” take place their will be a dearth of witnesses to back any claims by the gay.
The guys are worse off now that they will be known by everyone on the base then they were before when they could freely interact and make friends with almost anyone they wanted to make friends with. It will take about 1 hour from the time a gay lands on base for the word to spread and the guy will be watched 7/247365 by everyone on the base and the good Lord help him if he has a few beers and pats another guy even on the shoulder. The blade cuts both ways in this area and gays can as easily be charged with sexual harassment towards straights (even more easily given the ease of gathering up witnesses against the gay)as gays can charge it against heteros.
You always seem to chime in on how this is no big deal.... You’ve made that point MANY times. We get it. Enough.
