No, it's a ridiculous suggestion. It shows you don't give a damn about morale. Family and loved ones are what keep our troops going.

And, your extensive military service tells you it's a ridiculous suggestion?

It's a good thing you weren't posted at the Baumholder Kasserne, where PDA (public displays of affection) was prohibited, by order of the division commander, even while off duty and off post.

So, with your decades long military service record, you think the best thing to do, is to abolish DADT, leave the ban on gays in place and let the cards fall where they may?

Wait...you don't think there are already protections there for those situations?

I don't need to have any military experience. Apparently I consider our military to be more professional and honorable than you do.

If that's your best guess, who am I to try to convince you otherwise?

Not, when it comes to asking a soldier's sexual orientation, hence DADT.

Actually no Navy, there is not. There is a law on the books that says if a gay person tells the military they are gay they will be discharged. A gay person can be flaming gay and not violate that law now.

Our military is made up of human beings, with the same flaws that all human beings possess. If our servicemen were flawless, there wouldn't be a need for the UCMJ.

Your problem is that a soldier can be exceptional and be gay.

Which is a tiny minority that are actually prosecuted under UCMJ. If this fleshes out some people who lack honor, discipline, and character, then so be it.

Your problem is that I never said that even though you really, really wish I had. I'm sure there are exceptional gay soldiers and lousy ones, just like with heterosexuals.

You're making the assumption that gay soldiers aren't going to discriminate against straight soldiers.

How are you going to feel, when soldiers refuse to billet with soldiers who are of a different sexual orientation?

What exactly does that have to do with the gayness of a particular officer? A bad and unworthy officer discriminates. Their sexual orientation has nothing to do with it. Of course, you think that being gay makes you bad and unworthy...

It took a while, but someone finally called a homophobe. Is that how you explain my suggestion that the ban on gays in the miltiary be lifted? Because I'm a homophobe?
