They recruited gays during vietnam because they could do the job, and the men who were not recruited could not do the job.
The ones that did the job exceptionally were promoted, and honored for the exceptional job they did.
And this guy wasn’t gay. Back when Flip Wilson was doing his Geraldine schtick, this guy came up with his character and entertained the wounded during his off hours. That he wasn’t gay, but rather playing a character, was ok with the military when the bullets were flying. After the war was over, people who had never dragged a guy in with his leg missing used it to get rid of him.
Selective enforcement is one of the major argument against government enforcement of social mores.
Wow, 9 posts at me, take a breath and try and relax.
The military forbid homosexuals during the 1960s and 1970s and did not knowingly recruit them, you are lying about that, and it is a very strange lie to be telling but you are obsessed with the idea that homosexuals were so exceptional and superior, that the military sought them out and desired them as recruits, the reality is that they screened people to keep them out.
You are also immature in thinking that government does not have to have laws regarding marriage, including in the military, marriage has always come under law, it was never just whatever anyone wanted to make up.
The military and the feds for example must have official definitions of what legal marriage is for their use.
Making marriage only for religious people and cult members is another obsession of yours, but totally irrelevant in sane political discussions other than when someone is having some drinks and fantasizing about their wishes.
