I think Crompsin's post and experience is closer to what can be expected in the real world of deployment. I've never experienced it, but it surely isn't what we would expect of each other back home.
That said, why are gays anymore a liability to the military as it was once believed women and blacks to be in the past? Gays who spoke Farsi were dismissed due to their sexual preference, and I can't think of a more critical function in Iraq and Afghanistan. Is there any evidence at all that gay men rape their fellow soldiers, or is it simply the homophobic fear of gays at work here?
