Kamikaze bullet catchers in drag. The enemy will use up most of their ammo with the first wave of em, and the ones that survive will end up converting the enemy to "the other team".
don't grope , don't stare and definitely don't drop the soap
If they can shoot a gun and kill some :arabia .. who cares?
I realize that you're very young lady and from a much more liberal generation than I am, but I've also been on active duty in the United States Navy for the last 22 years. So, I'll try to give you a view from where I stand.
In the service, one rarely has the option of choosing who one rooms with or where they room. It doesn't matter which branch of the service one is in, they end up living, working, eating, showering etc... in very close proximaty to each other. Since my background is Navy, I'll use that as an example.
On a U.S. Navy ship of war, the average person will bunk about 18 inches from another person. It is entirely possible that they will spends months on end living that close to each other. Since they have made many vessels co-ed, they have had to seperate males and females in an attempt to eliminate unapproriate relationships. Now, just imagine for a moment the problems that would arise in a berthing area on a ship if an openly homosexual service member made advancements on a service member that was not gay.
Do we give homosexuals their own berthing areas?
How would we eliminate unappropriate relationships if we give them their own berthing areas?
Can we reasonably expect that there would be no such relationships occuring, especially since it has proven impossible for men and women serving together to abstain from them?
How do you protect an openly homosexual person if they make an advance on someone that isn't gay and you're 3 or 4 thousand miles from home and hundreds of miles from land?
What about the health issues? Nobody can deny that HIV and AIDS affect homosexuals at a rate more advanced than the rest of th population?
Living conditions for the rest of the branches of the service are just as close as they are in the Navy. Army and Marines live next to each other in tents for months at a time. Air Force ends up in barracks and quonset huts when they deploy.
Bottom line, nobody has the right to tell me that I have to sleep within 18 inches of a practicing homosexual. And, unless you're willing to sleep next to an actively practicing lesbian, then you're somewhat hypocritical for thinking that it all comes down to whether they can shoot a gun or kill someone.
It comes down to living conditions. It really is as simple as that.

Those are my issues as well, I could really care less about gays and what they do....providing it doesn't interfere with a normal person trying to life his/her life.
I am totally sick of this politically correct crap....this country is working towards being so open minded that our brains start flopping out.
I think they have been, are now and forever will be in the military and you just never knew. a good soldier is a good soldier regardless and severall of " them " have probably given their lives for this country. I doubt they joined for the good food/pay or to get a peek at your weiner.
