You can't SERIOUSLY be comparing gays in the military to animals, children etc??? I mean honestly.
I served my time in the Marines, and met a few Marines, Navy, and Army that were gay. We all knew they were, but we didn't concern ourselves with that. All I gave a SHIT about, was that if the shit hit the fan, and I was being shot at, would they help protect me and save my ass from being dead.(ok, I see the humour from the last sentence coming soon...lol) We didn't care if they were gay, they didn't hit on any of us. We did our job, we followed orders, and we got the job done. THAT is what the Marines were about. get the job done, follow orders, and get back safe. THAT is what is important. And YES I have been in confined areas with others who were gay. It didn't bother me, acause I knew I saw straight, and they new I was straight. Who cares. they are human beings, just like everyone else.
