I am old enough to remember during the Vietnam war that homosexuals in the military were certainly tolerated, and even recruited and admired for their excellent performance.

LOL, the agenda really comes out.

You sure must have been in a different military during the Vietnam war than me and all the other vets on this forum who were serving during the war.

This claim that the American military used to "recruited and admired" gays is a keeper, I guess you don't remember the use of it to beat the draft.

You win the medal for the goofiest claim for homosexualizing the military.

"""during the Vietnam War, some men pretended to be gay in order to avoid the draft"""

"""By the 1970s, a gay service member who had not committed any homosexual acts while in service generally received a general discharge, while those found to have engaged in homosexual conduct more often received undesirable discharges. Gay service members received a disproportionate percentage of undesirable discharges issued."""

There was an Allan Sherman song which ran in part

Walk around the floor kinda nice and loose/Tell ‘em your fiancée’s name is Bruce
Then things go the usual way,
Your draft card comes back “1A”.

In particular, the medical corps, nurse corps, and medical service corps recruited homosexuals.
