It made me sad when excellent soldiers that I served with who happened to be gay lived in fear that there stellar career could be destroyed because someone found out their orientation. I believe most people in military would be just fine with homosexuals serving openly, and I would submit that most have known and had no problem with a gay soldier/sailor/airman/marine that they served with.

There was a quote that I love, but cannot remember who said it. To paraphrase: “You don’t have to be straight to fight for your country, you just have to shoot straight.”
