I know this is FR and all, but I'm a bit disturbed by the open hatred expressed here against gays. Before people go off on me, I'm not gay. I'm happily heterosexual and I have absolutely no desire to fathom the joys of gay sex.
But seriously...do you realize that some of you are mocking some Medal of Honor winners? What if they read this stuff? We're talking about guys and girls who will willingly put their lives on the line, eat dirt, and take bullets for this country. And a lot of people here are mocking their "manliness"? What about some of those Medal of Honor winners who almost died for our freedom? Were they not macho enough for you guys? Honestly...
Think about it. I know it goes against the religious beliefs of a hell of a lot of people here, which I can understand, but at least respect those gays who are willing to die for this country just to protect and defend us all. It ill behooves all of you to mock them when they give up so much for *all* of us, and that means you included.
Just try a little more tact. Gay soldiers aren't necessarily bad at all. The blockbuster film out these days is about 300 gay soldiers, with their hairdressers no less, standing heroically against Persians. So please folks...enough with bashing gays in the military in such a resentful manner.
And believe me, I do understand how your average soldier might be uncomfortable with an openly gay guy sharing showers and the like. I'm not saying it's wrong to disagree with gays being in the military, I just think you guys can do it with way more tact than that.
