One comment here about homos.
(aka “godless sodomites” as I refer to them at my Hillcrest office).
If serving in a life-or-death situation is compromised because of inadequate unit cohesion that is a very serious issue.
However, if you can’t serve honorably or effectively because the dude covering your back happens to hump dudes when off duty, then I think you probably should not be in the military.
I don’t think everyone should have the same opinions about racial, gender, ethnic, or gen-pref diversity.
However, you should never fear that your unit-mate will be less helpful in protecting you because of some irrelevant bullshit.
There are loads of racists that serve just fine alongside blacks and mexicans. If they cant hack it then they get the fuck out.
I can’t imagine something that would matter less to me than whether my back up likes it up the ass or not.
Correction.
Lady Gaga. I might actually care less if my unit mate likes Lady Gaga.
