The whole debate seems to have an unimportant factor as far as I'm concerned. If the bag o skin next to me can shoot straight and has a good head on their shoulders, I really don't care much about the rest.

The problem with your premise is that you are under the naive illusion that openly gay military personnel are first and foremost committed soldiers.

I wouldn't want to have to put my trust into someone who's priority is for the world to know their sexual preference. There's an agenda here, and it ain't the defense of the nation.

You are correct, that I am assuming that the openly gay or straight soldiers I want around me are professional and committed peers, who would share a viscious will for my unit to survive anything that we would encounter.

If they are not the above, get em out of my unit.

I'm confused though.......What does sexuality have to do with being committed or professional?

You have said all that needs to be said about the subject.
