TULSA, Okla. Master Sgt. Anthony Henry, a top Marine recruiting trainer for the southwestern United States, pulled up to Tulsas biggest gay community center on Tuesday morning and left his Chevy where he could make a fast getaway. I have an exit strategy, he said. I know where my choke points are, Ive strategically parked my car right on the curbside, I have an out.
But as it happened, one of the strangest days in the history of the United States Marine Corps unfolded without the protests and insults that Sergeant Henry had feared. Sergeant Henry, who had been invited to set up a recruiting booth on the first day of the end of dont ask, dont tell at the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center in downtown Tulsa, instead spent it in quiet conversation with a trickle of gay women who came in to ask about joining the Marines.

And if they are harrassed, that is a problem which needs to be addressed since, like any kind of abuse (such as hazing), it can lead to a breakdown of trust.
Still, that does not mean that having gays in the military can undermine the effectiveness of fighting force.
So please provide me with a reason why gays should not be present in the military.

The US military has always embraced and recruited plenty of happy, well-rounded individuals; creates better cohesion within. Why haven’t you realize this before?

"And if they are harrassed, that is a problem which needs to be addressed since, like any kind of abuse (such as hazing), it can lead to a breakdown of trust."
You are dense aren't you Mr./Ms. Social Marxist, you co-opt/deconstruct the language just like a well conditioned lemming. I am sure Gramsci would smile at your dedication.
Trust will never be achieved, which is why the IDF keeps the practitioners of open paraphilia separated as much as possible from heterosexual conscripts. You don't get "it" and neither do your fellow social reprobates like Obama and the Larry Flynts of the world.
The trust factor is only the sharp tip of the iceberg as to why being open and "accepting" of practitioners in paraphilia leads to breakdowns in society. You fiscal conservatives/social reprobates always harden your hearts and ignore the evidence concerning perverted behavior (Not just paraphilia but behavior like adultery etc.) and the cost (Not just economically) associated with those acts.
If you expect politicians to have self-control over spending, you better expect the populous to have self-control over their genitals and where they put "things" in their anuses (Which was not built as a sexual organ by the way). You sound like a convoluted mess considering all that money spent on treating the symptoms of a society that does not have self-control (Ignoramus, they vote and demand "things" to cover their behavior as well as wants).
