Homosexuals Given The Boot From Military

[DreamThrall]

I'd like to comment again on the myth regarding separation of sexes in the US Military. While it is true that women aren't allowed to join the frontline infantry, that line is constantly blurring. In the current Iraqi conflict there have been more and more women ending up on the front lines - not as infantry but serving duties like convoy escort, which, as we all know by now, can see action just as hairy as the front lines. The bottom line is that when it comes down to it, military men and women work together to get the job done - in situations like this sexuality never comes into the picture. People that assume otherwise have obviously never been in a situation like that, and as such, should shut their ignorant mouths.

Gays are sexual beings just like straights are... but they are also human. Like most service members, most of them have also got common sense. Sure there are some who are idiots, but there are plently of straight idiots as well - should I reference all the drama about rapings and sexual misconduct at the Air Force Academy? Or the General who just got ousted for being a bad boy? The military has nothing to fear from homosexuals in except its own bigotry.

DUring boot and other training is when the sexes need to be seperated. On the front lines not so much, maybe tenting but that's about it. As you have pointed out yourself...people do sexual things during training...which is why they are trying to take precautions to stop that from happening. I don't think there need to be restrictions made outside of training...and maybe gaurd duty but as for combat, I don't care who is there as long as they have a weapon and a brain.

Shit like this has to be ended. Regardless of how you think one becomes homosexual is irrelevant. He's out fighting for his country and risking his life. Homosexuals deserve far better treatment than this. Honestly, what is there to fear? Do people have the idea that gays in the military will turn it into an army-themed porn production studio? That they'll infect the ranks with AIDS? That we'll all catch "teh gay"? This is ridiculous.

You live in North ... Carolina? Welcome to the state! [Word of advice, don't drink Absinthe here -- its cheaply made, order yours from this German company from whom I forgotten]

Oh yea, you live with me now ... :rolling: [Let the dumb sink in]

Okay, so here's my real message: Could'nt have said it better.

It's cool this way. If we ever have a disagreement on the forum, we can meet up and slug it out!

You don't want to do that ... my name's really Earl, and I'm simply a sad box of Pizza.
Did you move here from Europe, or where you always here? ...

 

[Absinthe]

Moved from Europe about two weeks ago. I actually don't really know how I got here. It just sorta happened.

 

[K e r b e r o s]

What brings you here ... ?

 

[K e r b e r o s]

No seriously, you cant just wake up here in North Carolina for no reason. It was a girl, was'nt it? I've heard you talking about her ...

 

[Absinthe]

No, honestly. We were all having shots down at the pub and then I woke up in a room with a guy from Salisbury.
