Well, yeah, but that was not what you originally said. You originally wanted them unable to serve simply because they had a somewhat higher risk of contracting HIV. That is discrimination.

If all you are saying is that any HIV-positive person should not be allowed to be in the military, I understand that. Or at least, not be allowed on the battlefield or in health-related jobs in the military. Primarily assigned to desk duty perhaps.

I don't recal someone saying AIDS was sin. Fornication, sodomy and adultery seem to be the way it is passed around.
2 virgins getting married don't worry about it.

Red Cross fortunately discriminates.

Take a look at how Navy soldiers behave! lol

Imagine a man not seeing a woman for months. When I was sent for combat medical training I had to undergo an advanced infantry course prior to my combat medical training because I was armor prior to my re-classification. Armor training course, infantry training course, I didn't see a female for over a couple months. It increases morale. I can't explain it, and Im not saying that it's right, but it does. Maybe it's just a guy thing.

I remember arriving at my duty station and walking to the CTA. I was passed by a beautiful girl, her perfume, are movements, her smile, her eyes, her shape. All of it is burned into my memory.

Hey Coad-man,

You dropped the hint yesterday that I might be gay. I asked a couple times for you to clarify. I don't feel like going back and reading everything, so step up to the plate and be clear (for once).

Are you saying I'm gay? Have some guts and say what you think.

He seems to say that to anyone that doesn't agree with him.
