CNN) -- The Marine Corps' top officer says he would want to avoid housing gay and heterosexual Marines in the same rooms on base if the ban on gays openly serving in the military is lifted.

"I would not ask our Marines to live with someone that's homosexual if we can possibly avoid it," Marine Commandant Gen. James Conway told a Web site in an interview posted Friday. "And to me that means we've got to build [barracks] that have single rooms."

Some senior members of the military, however, have expressed concern over the impact of the ban's repeal on unit cohesion and morale, among other things
 
OH NO! Gays and Straights in the same room! No they will make the straight soldiers gay!

What a load of crap.
 
Easy for you to say my left wing friend..........

Please stop using your dogmatic labels against me.

I just happen to think that, believing somehow that gays will have a negative impact on straight soldiers because they live in the same barracks. Is as rediculous as the notion that somehow black soldiers would make white soldiers worse soldiers.

It's old, fearful thinking.

If they're gay, and they're there anyway. Wouldn't it be like, secretly feeding your kid broccoli, and then him eating it. And then you telling him it's broccoli. And then all of a sudden he hates it, even though he had nothing to say before.

Well, it just shows that its prejudice and fear.

When have you served and if not when are you joining my left wing friend.??????Its very easy to voice and opinion on this issue when it does not affect you......I believe there is a name for that kind of thinking and it ain't pretty my left wing friend........

So by your logic, that means that because you haven't served as President of the United States. Then you must have no grounds to attack him?

But i'll tell you what. If I did, or do serve. I don't mind one bit a gay in the foxhole with me. He's not gonna try and make me gay, or try and kissey kissey me.
 
i don't see how them sharing houseing could have a negative impact, the gay soldiers would be just as professional as the straight soldiers, i sincerely doubt there would be a difference in on base behaviour.

Like I said its easy to say.........Typical liberal stance........It does not affect you.....You don't have to worry about a gay guy coming on to you.......It happens....I have seen it.................

Why do you think they kick gays out of the service.........A lot is because they could not help themselves and made unwanted sexual advance against straight military guys and girls.............

If I go in the army, I will go in the Canadian army. One which allows gays to serve openly. and one that does to my knowledge not have a massive problem with gay soldiers trying to turn the entire army into gays. It makes no sense.

It's prejudice and fear. And in 50 years there will be almost no one around to think that narrowly.

And where did you see this Navy? when you dusted off your 1950's black and white TV and saw Queer Eye for the Straight guy? you do realise they weren't trying to make him gay right.

what if a military guy makes an unwanted sexual advance on a military girl, do you think they should get kicked out for that?
people feeling uncomfortable due to being hit on isn't limited to gays coming onto straights, the only difference at the moment is a gay will get kicked out for it.
 
OH NO! Gays and Straights in the same room! No they will make the straight soldiers gay!

What a load of crap.

If you are anywhere left of Stalin, you will be labeled a "left wing friend" by NP. Don't let it bother you.

You can of course back up this statement.

What's wrong with just creating an all gay military separate from a straight military...Weve heard the arguments that gay soldiers are just as patriotic and efficient as straight soldiers and have served our military in an honorable way although they can't be open about it...Well...give them what they want, an all gay open unit. I think we need to at least test the concept first because although gays may be good soldiers in a hetero framework, how will they perform in an all gay unit. I mean that is why women and men do not shower together in the military...all sorts of scandels and issues would probably happen.

Well it sounds to me like this General has no problem sleeping with gay soldiers. With DODT you will never know because the guy sleeping in your room won't be allowed to tell you, and you won't be allowed to ask him. ;)
 
He should get the butt of a rifle in the teeth, IMO.......;)
