You want to prohibit women in the military too?Also, in Julius' army, there were no women.
I served, joined right out of high school at 17, boot camp, machinist mate school, sub school and went aboard the USS Thornback SS-418 in Key West at age 18 in 1958, then qualified in subs 5 months later and received my dolphins. Discharged in Charleston as MM2 (SS) drawing first class pay and hazardous duty pay at age 21 (kiddy cruiser). Recommended by XO for appointment to Naval Academy at age 19 but flunked the entrance exam.ABikerSailor --
Yo, Bubbles.............just out of curiosity, when you came back from patrol (if you ever served, which I doubt), did you have someone waiting on the pier for you? Did your shipmates? If so, did they run over and hug them and kiss them?
Give this socialist a cookie!!!!There are plenty of gays in the military.
Pretending there aren't is stupid.
Barry Goldwater Quote:
On gays in the military:
"Everyone knows that gays have served honorably in the military since at least the time of Julius Caesar."
"You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight."
I was agreeing with you.Give this socialist a cookie!!!!There are plenty of gays in the military.
Pretending there aren't is stupid.
Give that wing nut a cup cake!
Just a Man and Allie - I've posed the question to both of you regarding whether you believe don't ask, don't tell should apply to heterosexuals as well. I guess I'll have to assume that you won't answer the question because doing so honestly might reveal hypocrisy? Or are you just needing time to think deeply on the matter?
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Gudrid again.
One of the great problems with the modern Public is that all too few of them have EVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY. Which is why they don't buy the unit cohesion argument. They don't understand it.
That of course assumes the fellow soldier doesn't find said crush repugnant and when it is voiced immeddiately seek to transfer out. When you are hunkered down in a fox hole standing guard in a hot zone you don't need any additional distractions say like the ass of the guy you're on duty with.
I have served in the army during war.
We had NO known homos in our unit.
If someone had let it be known they were a queer
They would have been the first casuality in the next fire fight
Hey, friendly fire accidents sometimes happen
Straights will start raping eachother if there are homosexuals around?And since women have become members of the regular military, rape has become an overwhelming problem.
I can't even imagine what problems would abound with openly gay men.
Folks, we're missing the big question.
Why does a queer feel he has to announce his sexual proclivity?
That my friends requires an answer. Any queers want to give it a try? Or maybe a queer supporter would like to answer?
I served on a submarine and I can't remember anyone ever announcing they were straight, or anything else for that matter. There is no need to make an announcement.
Therefore, don't ask, don't tell works for all. But I think most common sense folks know why some queers don't want to keep quiet.
