Sexual deviance is more accepted in Europe.

No they are not insane, just ignorant.

1) Loving someone of the same-sex is not deviant. Your hatred, however, is.

2) Europe is far more progressed and evolved than we are. Most Americans still live in the 18th Century and believe in barbaric, archaic standards much like Iran or Saudi Arabia.

Considering Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are consistently ranked as the best places in the world with the highest quality of living, I'd say they are doing things a lot better than we are.

We're closer to China, Iran, and Iraq than we are Europe.

What about the soldiers who are bi or gay but haven't come out? Not to mention the straight ones who simply have a man crush on somebody? They could be secretly admiring people without even telling them.

It might be best to get everyone a separate bedroom so that nobody's modesty would be offended.

Like I said... it was so much nicer for the little minds when they weren't in touch with the reality.

These people are soldiers. They have signed up, been trained, taken an oath, and presumably understand the culture of order and conformity they have chosen.

Therefore, I see no reason why they cannot act as professionals. They are there to serve their country, not get their jollies via groping.

My answer is, No.

Oooooh this one's gonna sting! You're about to get jumped on for that one! Haaar.

O/P: We can assume these young folks are able to deal with the reality of being sent to some **** hole like Afghanistan where we know their's and our opinion would be before being deployed that they're being engaged in an untenable situation, with idiotic rules of engagement, but we're gonna worry about their cot discipline?

JEEZ LOUISE; get a grip!
