A simple question for people who support lifting DADT

I would tell these guys to grow up. Get over themselves. These woudl be the same types of men who thinke every woman in the world is drooling over them. The military already employs men and women, so is there not just as much of a chance of heterosexual harrasment as there is homosexual harrasment. If these men are not secure neough in who they are to deal with serving along side a gay person then perhaps they are not mature enough to be in the military.

I'd move the guy that is uncomfortable into another bunk if he felt that uncomfortable. Are there that many situations where they'd actually be alone? I thought there were several in each bunk. There isn't?

I think if the gay guy value his life, he simply won't do it. Because if he does, he is more likely to be taken outside in a dark alley than being reported.

*avoids the asked question, instead comes from another point of view/angle* ... So... we are willing to let an openly gay person fight and die for our country but not get married in most states in said country? Don't get me wrong. I'm against gay marriage and homosexuals serving in the military. But that is a double standard. One of my issues in this ordeal is, what does our country stand for, what do we want it to stand for, and then the issue should come up about letting them serve or not.(As when a person serves in our military or other government job, they are supposed to help represent our countries principles and ideals.) As our country's culture and laws have for so long looked down upon homosexuality. Then we should stick to that concept until we decide to change it. Starting with marriages, family definitions rewrites, and protections for civil rights. Then move on to allowing them to represent our countries ideals by serving in our military. The way this has gone now... This could easily be used to argue for gay marriage. A cultural and lawful standard that I and many others do not support. But unless we can get this DADT policy reinstated (Or reworded or something Idk.)... It is used as fodder against us. A real quandry. Please note. I am not arguing about whether or not these rights should be awarded homosexuals. I am commenting on the order of which things have happened. And noted that the order is unfair to my political viewpoint (and my viewpoint does make up roughly half the population, I am assuming. I haven't seen the numbers recently.) And that it will make it more difficult for us to fight for our rights, morals, and viewpoint on how this country is run. And thus the chips have been stacked against us.

Hello Parated2k, You have a point there, If they are going to lifting the Ban "Don't ask, Don't Tell", there should be a conditions applied (both pros and cons) if they ever committed such harrasive acts. If they lift ban with out adding rules in terms harrassment from some gays or lesbians in the future, it is likely what you predict could happen. of course, the trooper must have been annoyed some how.
