what bootcamp were you in? There wasn't enough room in the shower for 80 plus men. more like ten at max.

I had one flamboyant gay roommate while in the Navy but you know how the stereotype goes that the guys in the Navy are gay, well I tended to find more gays in the Marines and Army

Dan Choi Explains 'Why I Cannot Stay Quiet' - ABC News

There's more than that; it's not a simple case of keeping "I'm gay" quiet. As Choi points out you have to hide the fact you have a boyfriend, whereas heterosexuals can be as open as they want about their wives and girlfriends. It isn't fair in the slightest and Obama's pussying out shouldn't be excused.

Oh come on, everyone needs to get off Obama's nuts....yeah he promised to do things but that stuff isn't going to happen over night....he has more pressing issues to attend to first
