The reason I have stayed out of this thread until now is because I don't really have a stand one way or another on the issue. I can see both sides of the argument. But your post made it sound like you considered the military to be interchangeable with any other job. I would consider that to be a poor argument. The reason any other job exists is because members of the military have fought and died to defend those jobs.

If the heads of the military do not consider homosexuality to be an issue and end up overturning the current regulations then fine I have no problem with that. If they do consider homosexuality to be an issue and maintain the current regulations then fine I have no issue with that either. The only situation I would have an issue with would be if the top military brass firmly believe in the latter example yet change their policy due only to political pressure and correctness. That I could not support.
