I took karate as the only straight woman in a women’s dojo. I never had any problem or feelings of discomfort in the locker room or grappling situations. Never saw any hanky-panky. The other women treated the dojo with the respect it deserved. Now in a 24-7 situation like the military, I suppose there could be problems. But based on my experience, I wouldn’t object to serving with lesbians.

I’ll let men judge from their experience if there would be a problem serving with male homosexuals.

Then there is the whole issue of heterosexual male aggression directed at women, but the military seems to live with that.

well as a man who has served for a number of years recently I can tell you that not one person I know wants this and some will leave because of it.

In the military we live in close quarters, we share showers toilets rooms etc.

There is no way I would want a homo anywhere near me at all and neither does anyone I know in the service still.

said earlier that my two sons wanted to join but will not now.

This is the destruction of our military and the homos are wanting folk to turn around who has not served to say well I know a couple and they seem nice and not a problem

“I’ll let men judge from their experience if there would be a problem serving with male homosexuals.”

Damn skippy there will be a problem.

There was a guy in Germany who “came out of the closet”, and he’d run as fast as he could to be the first one to the showers, and would be the last one to leave. He did this for an entire week in Hohenfels and was caught one night by our brigade commander who happened to notice him running for the showers and then seeing him leave 5 hours later. He was sent back to the rear the next morning, and was kicked out of the military by the time we got back to Baumholder 3 weeks later.

“Then there is the whole issue of heterosexual male aggression directed at women, but the military seems to live with that.”

That’s really not as big of a problem as the media and leftist organizations make it out to be.
