If I knew that I was serving with a gay man, I'd take certain precuations (when possible) to ENSURE my privacy is not invaded.

But seriously, I'd rather just not to have to deal with the knowledge of some other guys homosexual tendencies. It just keeps everything sane.


To repeal DADT will create so many "things" that should to be addressed if this becomes acceptable.

In essence, once DADT is repealed, the Federal government will have to sanction gay marriage.


What about Christian Chaplains-- will they be forced to "go along" with sin or maybe they'll just be asked to "quiet down" concerning that particular sin.

Someone brought up that one can use the "I'm gay" card to get released from the military. I created a shortlist of other reasons.
