The military isn’t about sexuality, it’s about creating cookie-cutter soldiers. The second you allow sexuality or sexual preference to enter into the equation you instantly create differences between soldiers that no amount of training can compensate for.
If you REALLY care about serving, and that’s the sole reason you’re there, why does it matter that you can’t be openly *edited*. All they want to do is prove a point or show the world they’re *edited*, those making a big deal over this have no interest in serving this country. Being a soldier is a secondary concern to forcing their sexual choices and ideals on the rest of us.
