In ancient Greece there was an elite unit that was encouraged to be all homosexual, the Theban Sacred Band. How’d that go? Not too good! Phillip II, Alexander the Great’s father, wiped them all out in the battle of Chaeronea (338 B.C.).

That is the only example I need to know that gays in the military aren’t a good idea.
