“If I’m being completely honest, you older guys have a bit of a romanticized vision of the military. “
If by Romantic you mean “effective” then perhaps. Tell me why today’s military brass knows better about gays in the military than the man who first commanded it against the British.
Tell me how gays infecting the blood supply on a battlefield or a civilian hospital is not bad for either. Tell me who has enough integrity left to call it what it is in the military. Tell me why many good men and women have left. I know two MSgts that walked after long careers and their exemplary records no longer help mold young soldiers.
Tell me how that is not a bad thing that is a direct result of, not hate for gays, but lack of respect of a once functional system turned feelgood social experiment..
They will "follow orders", just like the guys we hung after World War II.
America, the Great Hypocrite & Police State.
