There has been homosexuals in the military since the military started, maybe even before there was a formal military. Privacy in the military. You have to be joking unless you happen to wear stars. In a few years this will be as common as an intergrated military is today. I personally believe that every US citizen should be required to give at least 2 years in service of their country, that includes, handicapped, homosexuals, straights, transgengered, females, males and those that are still confused about what they are.

The all volunteer military is a joke as only the "poor" are serving. Don't get me wrong, the all vol force is awesome and the US has the best fighting force in the world, but an all vol force is NOT the way to go. Get those senator's kids and the representative's kids in uniform and watch how we, IE., the US, stops sending our youth off to foreign counties to make the Industrial-Military Complex rich.

Then pass a law that if you want to be in public service, from local to federal, you have to have serviced in the military.
