Let's assume for a minute a reason could be to avoid sexual (guy and gal) encounters....good....bad....consensual....other.
Since it will be openly OK for same sex opportunities to occur in the military....should they not also allow men and women in the same barracks.
I sorta think when these "restrictions" were put in place it was to eliminate sexual encounters.......
so now what?

Excellent response. It seems that Obama is just taking up the causes that were the Clinton's 15 years ago. (Healthcare, homosexuals in service etc.)
I understand that this is a subject that many people do not want to discuss. Many fear that they will be labeled anti-homosexual if they voice their concerns for the military.
I just want to say that I have nothing personal against homosexuals. My family has dealt with that issue over 10 years ago when my married nephew came "out of the closet." Needless to say it was a shock for everyone, including his wife. But he and his long time partner are part of the family now. All of the issues have been resolved and everybody feels comfortable with the situation.
As a person who supports the military and is proud of my family's contributions through the generations, my only concern is the soldier who put his or her's life on the line every day.
I just wanted to put that out there.
