Officials: Half of force trained on gay ban repeal

:) finally we get someone to admit that the situations are parallel.

No, that's not what I was saying at all. I was saying that "advances" aren't a big deal. People handle advances. It's the rape and coercion that are the problem for female soldiers.

Also, straight guys hit on straight women... because the woman might be receptive. Gays know better, and so largely don't hit on straight guys. And again, these are well trained, mature, fighting men and women. They can handle it. Even if you can't.

Exactly. ANd we should treat them like the well trained, mature fighting men and women they are.
