They should have gay squads... or troops or whatever... It obviously makes at the very least some of the straight guys uncomfortable... SO they have rights too... Make all gay squads...

Same goes for girls... they should be allowed to do whatever they want to if they're capable...

HAVING SAID THAT...

I don't think ANY policy should be impossed upon the miltary.. obviously there should be over sight... but non-military folks simply DO NOT UNDERSTAND the miltary or how it works or what is neccisary to it's existance and functionality... The only usefull thing a non-military can know about the military is that he knows JACK SH!T about it... if you want to know about the military you should enlist... period...

After seeing a special on female "marines"... I QUICKLY saw how bad politics is for the military... they wouldn't allow women in the marines for ever... when they did... they had to COMPLETELY change the way they trained them because they couldn't handle the way the men were trained... hence IMO even if you complete basic for the marines as a girl... you ARE NOT a marine... no matter what any patch, uniform, or piece of paper says...

I'm sorry but Full Metal Jacket is HOW IT SHOULD BE in basic... if you can't handle mental abuse of WORDS... then how the hell are you going to cope with actuall danger and seriously stressful situations...

Even if it does mean a few dudes loose their sh!t... Plus now you can drop out if you can't take it...

As far as don't ask don't tell... I think it's the best possible way...

If there were openly gay people in the military (without segregation) all hell would break loose... the effectiveness of the military WOULD be affected... With no homosexuals allowed in the military it's just not fair to those who are genuinely gay and want to serve their country...

I know several people who found out YEARS after they served with people that those people were in fact gay... NO ONE had ANY idea whatsoever the WHOLE time they were in the military together... That should be NO PROBLEM for a gay guy in the military... unless feminine manerisms out them.... in which case you're F'd IMO... Hide it if you want to serve.
