But your point FOR homos in service was "What's done in the soldiers OFF time is THEIR business." I submit to you what's done in the soldier's off time (dating between enlisted and commissioned, for example) is very much the business of the "Command".
You were an O5 in the Navy? Thank you for your service.
In my opinion, your views on homosexuality in uniform are blissfully-ignorant of cold-hard facts of the practice. Homosexuality not ONLY hurts people physically (THE highest risk group of HIV/AIDS is homosexual males, they have a drastically-lower life expectancy, just to name two), it hurts them EMOTIONALLY. Homosexuality is a symptom of a person in pain - a person struggling to find something missing from their life. Some turn to alocohol - some turn to drugs - others, to same-sex relations. You are seeming to BLINDLY follow the flow of a small-but-vocal part of society who claims "If it FEELS good, it IS good!". By your opinion, I'd guess you'd let your kids eat Ice Cream three times a day - Bfast, Lunch, Dinner. I mean - honestly, MY kids were BORN wanting IceCream. They can't be CURED of their like for IceCream, can they? I mean, who is it HURTING? Not me!!
By your expressed opinion, I gather lack of compassion for people afflicted with a propensity for homosexual acts. You rant against me for 'hatred' and 'fear' when you don't have the first fucking clue who I am, or what experiences I've had which have lead me to my conclusions.
B-b-but I'm against special treatment for those who like to have sex with members of their same gender!! I MUST be a bigot!
