OT: Gay Marriage

[quote=Russell]
More pragmatism; The war machine folks worry about how a fully open policy would affect recruitment of volunteers. Would they rather have 10 more bible thumping homophobes or one more out homosexual?
[/quote]

It’s not an either or situation here.

If the military wants more recruits, they win. Where are the Bible thumpers gonna go?

With the repeal of DADT, the milary will gain homosexuals but they won’t lose the Bible thumpers (who may no longer be Bible thumpers after they get out of the military).

As to Brian’s point…it’s not about fearing that the one gay man is attracted to you. It’s about the potential for sexual harassment. It’s a fact that living together in close quarters changes the nature of relationships, and the opportunity for problems increases.

There are already rules against fraternization in the military.

I might agree with you if we were the first country in the world to integrate gays into the military.

But other countries have done so successfully. Israel, a conservative religious society, allows gays to serve openly.

We used to lead the world in social progress. We now lag.

Brian, if you are going to back me up, try not to be such a homo. (Homophobic AND hypocritical. I even impress myself sometimes.)[/quote]

You know, I watched Brokeback Mountain. I now know everything about gays. 😉

yeah, we need to make our military environmentally friendly as well. Solar power tanks and missiles that don’t pollute!

Silly me, I think social progress would include disbanding the military, not making it gay friendly.
