Open homosexuality in the military soon... Can I shower with the ladies then?

I am a member of the military the branch i will leave out of this. Either way the government is having us do stage's or tier's of learning and dealing with openly gay, lesbian and bi sexual individuals in the service.

The standing law of don't ask don't tell was easy to deal with because nobody was the wiser.

I ask you how you feel about it. I don't really think that the current policy should change but i don't make the rules.

I'm glad they got rid of the policy.

at least you'll know who among your comrades you can f*ck in the as* when you get lonely during war... look at it in a more positive note.

but seriously, it's rare to see gays deciding to risk their lives and contribute to the honor and protection of one's nation. is it that hard to accept them for who they are and just be proud that they're willing to die out there for the sake of their country? if being a patriot is not enough for a gayman to receive respecet, honestly, i don't know what else will.

I actually don't respect patriotism... or any form of pride for that matter.

Right on dude, I actually had a debate with TheCunningStunt at length about how pride and patriotism are awful things

@op: I hope I'm not jumping to conclusions but you sound like a bigot. How is the repeal of DADT going to change anything? You aren't suddenly going to be coerced into gay shower sex.

That's kind of bizarre.

That's probably because civilians make up the majority of U.S. citizens.

Tough!

I think you can disagree with something without hating it. Plus, I don't see how Freebase Dali serving (or having served) in the military makes him any less of a likable person. Same goes for DjChameleon.

it's not that bizarre. I understand that feeling. You didn't get to pick where you were born so the whole pride issue seems moot.

I get that but it's a policy that doesn't affect them directly and they seem to be the loudest opponents of something that I feel like they don't fully understand.

Maybe Dali was his mancrush.

I hate the idea of militarism. I am really disgusted by it.
But that doesn't change my 'feelings' (sounds a bit gay

) for Freebase or the DJ. Great people, both of 'em.
