LIKE I SAID, anyone who is too immature doesn't belong in the military. What a percentage of "the gays" do in the military is no different than what a comparable percentage of "the straights" do in the military.... or have tens of thousands of rapes of female soldiers not enough to knock you off your moral high horse?
BTW, "Young people" (I am 28. I know my generation and the ones that are coming up after a LOT more intimately than you), are a lot less bigoted and a lot more socially mature than the older generations.
Quite frankly, there is a schism in acceptance of homosexuality and gay rights between the older generations and the younger. As a matter of fact.... do you hear that? That's the sound of your bigoted worldview and culture of social exclusion of gay people and other assorted "different people" slowly dying with your generation.
It is that group of kids in high school right now that many talk about not respecting people of older age. Yes, your group is leading to my wife retiring from teaching because of this lack of respect. I just hope you can handle it when those youngers get to your age and refuse to respect people over 40 as you will be.
Good grief, after reading this thread and the bigotry towards gays by many, I'm thankful that I live in Canada where homosexuality in the military, and most everywhere else is not an issue...You have some really nasty people below that 48th parallel.
It is a good thing and a done deal, so you're going to have to learn to live with it... Neither gays in the service nor gay marriage have caused any problems here, as a matter of fact they have solved many.
What a friggin pathetic mess "Ho & Crew" will now unleash upon our brave & proud Military Services !!!
It is quite easy to envision how difficult it would be for our services outstanding D.I.'s to constantly have to be overly concerned about possibly offending any of these little ole "Gay" lad & lassie recruits during the all important 12 week basic training cycle.
Yes folks the pathetically inept career politicians have once again trumped the historical time honored and time proven policies of so many of our U.S. military commanders !
It is an easy matter for so many of those exceedingly foolish folks in the political circus, who have never served in the U.S. military to absent mindly approve of matters such as roysoldboy has alluded to above. ^
As for "The One" & Crew ... It is not so difficuly to envision their puffed up egos and arrogance as this nightmare bill is signed into law !
How utterly insane it truly is when those whom have never once walked the walk are making the major decisions that directly effect everyone else that is !
So many of our folks way, way up here on the old East Coast have emphatically stated that they are very glad their proud military service was over before this unbelievably moronic decision was made !
I am so damn glad the U.S. Army during the Viet Nam War did not have to deal with this unprecedented insanity ! It may well have been a revolt from all services and ranks back then. My commrades in arms were indeed most fortunate !
May the Saints preserve our brave military service men and women during this horrendous time of trials and tribulation courtesy of clueless politicians !
Thanks Y"ALL / Old Sgt. Lamar
What a pathetic bigoted post. I guess you don't remember what happened when Congress first gave the order to allow Blacks to serve with everyone else. or when women werefirst allowed to truly serve. We heard the same pathetic cries from bigots when both of those happened too.

you should be ashamed of yourself...demeaning some ones skin color and gender by comparing their genuine and real discrimination to the self inflicated nonsense of someones sexual habits.
..and yet if a reporter were to have written the exact opposite thing, you'd have linked to the article. It's all hearsay, unless you heard it yourself or saw it it on video.
