Republicans do not want gays to be able to serve openly because they are afraid that it will weaken their position on gays in general. If the military was to accept openly gay officers, then it would open the door to other civil rights issues. The idea that it would harm unit cohesion is a lie that is perpetuated by conservative mouthpieces. Many other countries allow gays to serve openly.

Good question if the Republicans are so much in support of the war why are not in the military fighting? Because one is gay does not mean they can wear the uniform, fight for our freedoms and yes die to protect those moral Republicans.

The so-called straight laced Republicans are afraid that living an alternate lifestyle is not "disciplined" enough for them. They are all military school and saluting the flag until they get a couple of shots of tequila in Vegas. Then they are buying their way out of jail.

It's alright by *this* conservative Republican if "sads" serve in the military, as long as they stay in the closet! But, if they have such strong urges that they can't restrain themselves, cohesiveness of the unit is compromised.

Short answer is yes. Plus they have to shower together and someone might drop the soap and as we know that will cause us to loose any war we are fighting.

They're afraid we'll change the uniform from khaki to pastels.

it's because if you call a gay man a "f@g" or other crap like that....if they have a gun...they can shoot you in the face
republicans want to keep gays from guns so they can continue to pick on us (even though you never hear of democrats picking up male hookers in bathrooms)

I forget who said this.."You don't have to be straight to be in the military, You just have to be able to shoot straight."
