re: #59 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Apparently, the argument now is that setting up a situation where bigots in the ranks will either have to shut up and serve or leave hurts our military’s effectiveness. Better to keep the gays in the closet, because then our fighting men don’t have to live in worry that they’re being checked out in the showers.

Meanwhile, the rest of our allies are happy to see that we’ve graduated from the ranks of “special” children and decided to join the 21st century.

Obviously it will work both ways. Which means gays in the military won’t be able to bash heterosexuals either. Neither will any raunchy talk be tolerated. Knowing the military it will be applied equally so those whiners will have the opportunity to report someone who they feel has bashed their own lifestyle — be it gay or straight. So yeah, I think everyone will have to shut up and serve and leave the BS talk for the time they’re on leave.
