There have ALWAYS been gays in the military and somehow they managed to control themselves around the straight guys. Being facetious there. They have fought and died besides their comrades. In this day and age to even have this as an issue is ridiculous. I guess now I get to be a social engineering elitist! You know, just cause you throw a little phrase at something does not make it true or make those of us who REALLY believe in equality bad. When Eisenhower intergrated the troops he made it happen...just did it. It was an order. And the military did not curl up and die.
Homosexual men had to control their actions in the military because of the rules that applied. With the law changed so that they can live "openly", don't doubt that they will. It's a new ballgame.

What's the difference in just lumping all the people together if the issue isn't the sexuality of the soldier? My query is not ridiculous. It's only your unwillingness to consider all angles that is.
