"Well then why did you not answer mine? If nothing else, this board has proven that heterosexual people are not nearly as bright as homosexuals. Not that I didn't know that already."

We all know what Darwin would have to say about your ludicrous statement.

Idiot

It works everywhere else.
Funny, Israel has had openly gay servicepeople for years and it has hardly affected cohesion of effectiveness. Ditto every European country and now, most Latin American ones. If anything, their military brass claim it has helped.

Oh well, don't let facts get in the way of your agenda.

BREAKING NEWS:

No effect on cohesion witnessed as the LGBT military of Holland provides critical security at the 25th annual Gouda Cheese Festival in Amsterdam.

Keep comparing our military with those of impotent nations, fools.

Most in our armed services believe in American exceptionalism, even as the commander in chief pussifies. His days are numbered.

Kevlar and others ask.. for the 100th time:

"The Marine Corps has separate but equal quarters for male and female officers.
If you were in charge, would you keep this regulation?"

Ahh.. The million dollar question for the gay-baiters.

An answer in the affirmative means the "openly gay" advocates have NO case for integration.

An answer in the negative means the "openly gay" advocates are calling for a radical overhaul of a military system that has served our country well for hundreds of years.
Imagine the military resembling an MTV "Real World" setting.

Check mate.
Game over.
DADT stays.

For the love of God, get used to it losers.
You know in your heart of hearts that the only...

Then implement regulations that would prohibit such behavior. Are there not such regulations for heterosexual behavior.

HELLO!!!

Males and females are not fighting together on the front lines! They do not strip together and sleep together in military installments, whether stationed domestic or foreign. Are you as dense as Sol?? I"m through trying to explain a concept to you that you two are obviously incapable of grasping.

I'm out for now..

Jeezzus, the stupidity!

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

"Somehow I don't think this is anything for you other than something to whine about." Sol

And for Mr. S-O-L's inference that the military's upholding it's own conduct codes that have been in place for centuries as:
"trample(ing) the Constitution"
Well, that is the absolute height of absurdity and hypocrisy. Are you F'ing kidding me Sol!?

"Sam, why would gay men hit on heterosexuals? There are plenty gay men to go around If you knew some gay men, even a little, you would know they consider hitting on straight guys extremely stupid. Do you honestly see them as some kind of predator or werewolf?"

You just don't get it do you.. Mr. enlightened liberal?

The military is not worried about homos "hitting" on heteros. What happens when "openly" gay servicemen add the element of sexual tension within an element consisting of other "openly" gay servicemen? You just keep missing the point. We cannot afford to have our combat troops smooching, diddling, and bringing their little lovers quarrels into the realm of military affairs. (no pun intended)

In my experience, straight guys don't get wood when in the locker room showers with other dudes. And trust me there is a lot of racy heterosexual-exploits talk that goes on in there.

Right on. We have Communists in the White House and we're more concerned with whether or not servicemen should be allowed to bunk up and flirt in their foxholes. WTF

right now. I hope people are watching.

Are you malicious or just ignorant?

Combat is organized chaos. Adding openly gay servicemen to the fray is simply foolish. It has nothing to do with straight servicemen fearing that their gay peers will assault them. You are simply dancing around the real issue here, and, quite frankly, that is dangerous.
