What branch of the military are you in? Are you aware that there are restrictions on heterosexual couples as well. Look up Co-habitation. In the military you can't just go screw whoever you want. This isn't the damn 60's!! There are also rules against PDA. YES- hetero's are restricted from hanging all over each other in or out of uniform. Shocking I know!!
That's why I said they should be allowed to do anything a hetrosexual should be allowed to do. If they can't Marry then they aren't getting equal treatment.
Discrimination? WTF are you talking about. For one let me say this. I know for a fact I've had gay people work for me. Their lifestyle was their choice. But they NEVER brought their "issues" to work and neither do I. What my wife and I do is NO ONE's business unless or until it impacts work. And since you obviously have no fricken clue as to what you are talking about what the military does doesn't have a civilian parrallel- ie: WE need to be focused on tasks at hand. NOT social engineering. I don't have time to be dealing with who is screwing who when we are in combat. Combat is tough enough as is- now YOU and your ilk want to FORCE the military to bow to your ideology? W/E. When you pick up a rifle and put some rounds down range IN UNIFORM I'll listen to your opinion. Until then STFU:bash:
During my twenty years I did drug interdiction in South America, Desert Storm, Phoenix Scorpion, Provide Comfort, Northern and Southern Watch and Enduring Freedom. So am qualified to know what goes on. Was never a front line combat troop because my time was spent in an AF and it didn’t expose me to any level of combat. And there's enough PDA to going on and everyone turns a blind eye, unless your a gay couple. You did say you'd listen if I did my time and I did so listen to this, Go F yourself!
The way it is now is fine. People are basically free to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't impact work. Once your lifestyle impacts work you become a liability whether you are gay, bi, straight, alcoholic, druggy, swinger, adulterer etc.... when it starts negatively impacting your mission- action MUST be taken.
It's not fine for the people who have to hide in the shadows when everyone I ever deployed with got off that plane after 10 months and kissed and hug their partner and before you asked it was my wife who is a woman.
Bottom line is we who join the military go in with eyes open. The rules are explained and re-explained through out your time in service. In case YOU didn't know there is NO draft. So the people who join do so by CHOICE. No one forced them- they accepted the rules. If you don't like the rules either don't join or get the eff out!!:fm:
It's wrong when they did this to blacks, woman and now gays.
