I mean, you want to go fight and die for your country, awesome! Oh, but you're gay... sorry. Weird. |

"That's one of the major arguments against letting homosexuals into the army. Will they be looking at the enemy, or will they be looking at me, going 'Oooooh, he looks tasty in his uniform'?" |

Do you guys check out every female you walk by? Life is life and a job is a job and sexual orientation does not impair anyone to do their jobs. |

Oh, sorry, I wasn't trying to troll, I thought this was the right forum. I didn't see the no politics rules. All the gun threads lead me to believe that this was the forum for that.
The issue is highly political, no doubt!
I don't think there's a good logic argument that can explain it though. |
