Jacob, we're talking about 2 different things. Living and working and fighting with a few queers might turn out to be a non-event after all. But are the countries whose experiences were cited have "volunteer" armies or "full draft" armies (yeah, I know there is a middle ground, but for the sake of argument, let's pretend there isn't) and can we expect different results in a different kind of army? For me, it would be a different and harder decision to join a volunteer army if gays were allowed to be open about it. If it was a full draft army, I, and the 99% (nah, I don't believe that report of 10% homosexuality from a few years back. It's been debunked) other straight guys, would not have much choice.

I have many cousins there. I used to admire the country. But it's become an asylum run by the inmates. Sorry, but I am staying out of it. Any group of people so opposed to a fundamental freedom of all humans (speech and thought) can only be cowards. Just like the Muslims. Their god is so weak and their religious message so inane that they have to resort to violence and force to make sure no one disagrees with them or speaks anything that might hurt their little ears. In a generation, Canada has gone from manliness to sublime effeminacy. But they still have some cool mountains and great ice hockey teams. Too bad in a generation they'll be nothing but wimps.
