Where to draw the line? Deadly disease is a good place to start - Aids.
Why not continue it with cancer? It is a deadly disease also. Why not continue with heart disease? It is a very deadly disease. Why not continue with diabetes? Yet another deadly disease.

So if you think deadly diseases are a god place to draw the line, then you are going to be cutting out a huge amount of potential recruits, lol.

If you do not want to allow homosexuality in the military because homosexuals supposedly have a "50% higher chance than heterosexual men of HIV infection", then we need to start screening all applicants for their susceptibility to deadly diseases.

Coadie,
You've taken Aquila's comments into another direction and an accusatory one at that. I don't like your post here. Giving out facts is one thing, but this is too far.

You don't get it. The Red Cross says no to homosexuals. Not just gays that claimed they wore protection because people lie. They say no. They do ask.
They also are not stupid. They don't do blood tests and say ok to the sodomites. They just say no.

A civil society does have the right to say no.

I don't like it either. It is an example of languages drifting and meanings shifting.

Our culture tries to force changes in words, values and laws.

I think that we have been making strides with the smoking issue, as I stated.

I agree, we need to have selective screening for all deadly diseases. Political Correctness is also a deadly disease. Right? LOL!

You have no medical common sense. HIV is contagious. The examples you gave are not.
People also fail TB tests.

That is true, but you appeared to be trying to force that toward Aquila's comments and giving the impression that Aquila has participated in a homosexual act. Why would you want to do that?

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Actually they knew and held back reports on the Ft Hood killer for PC reasons.

Frankly, having been in the military, I see it as just part of the landscape. There will always be porn (and gays) in the military. Sometimes when deployed or in a long term training environment it's good for moral and mental health to at least see a beautiful woman. We paint them on tanks and airplanes. It's a guy thing. As a medic, I don't advocate for it, but I feel it's not only a soldiers personal choice, but it's also a soldiers private life. Just as with any man (or woman) for that matter.
