Discussion of this issue is full of examples of soldiers, children of soldiers, etc. saying that they served and fought alongside homosexuals, going all the way back to WWII, and how everyone knew and no one cared… How it didn’t cause problems and mattered a hell of a lot less than staying alive and getting the job done.

I have yet to see a single counter-example, outside the fevered imaginations of the Chamblisses of the world.
