In my opinion, the surveys were skewed by the brass in favor of the repeal. Combat troops in the army were against it as well. Remember, the army chief of staff was a complete political hack, remf, who never served a day in combat, lead troops in combat, didn’t have the Expert Infantry Badge, nada, zip, zero, zen, nothing.
The army combat units are war fighters. The airdale warplane pilots are warfighters as are the squid pilots.
Take care, brother.
Lots of good warfighters there.
Another irritating thing — liberals say that homosexuals serve without problem in the European and Israeli armies.
Don’t troops over there all live off-base? That’s a lot different than sharing showers and barracks.
