34,784 votes

35.3%

No. Allowing openly gay service members would threaten order and morale.

20,509 votes

4.8%

Maybe. That is why the Pentagon is studying this sensitive topic.

i voted yes btw.

Gays say that when they love, it's for real. They love their country enough to serve in the military. Let's support them.

[SMOKE 1,426]

besides 'they're gay & its icky'. why does anyone oppose gays in the military?

i think it would be awesome if all captured terrorist were to be questioned by a team of homosexual soldiers...it'd be great & you know it.

The last one that we Caught (actually the passengers caught) trying to blow up americans in flight is all Lawyered-up.

This is more Obama... Following Bush's foot steps in a long protracted war.

No hope of Change

i didn't say that was you, did i? reread my earlier statement

kinda like your post, eh? i made an observation about those in vj that are all spun up over the topic. you chose to try to make it into something else.

As I said, what does it have to do with the topic? Nothing so far as I can see.

What is it you know from serving in the military that makes gays serving in the military a bad idea.

it's a do as you say, not as you do scenario.

those most vocal in this thread demanding gays be able to serve openly in the military haven't served a day in uniform, yet they are demanding the ones in the military that are straight put aside any reservations they might have over sharing latrine facilities with someone who may have an attraction for them. unless there's separate latrine facilities for those attracted to the same sex, i'll bet there will be some problems if this is passed. additionally, the military is a national tool for resolving issues when diplomacy fails. it shouldn't be used as a social engineering experiment.

i heard in the navy it's powdered soap because it takes longer to pick it up.

See. There ya go. I hear things too...like the top uniformed officer saying gay ban should be lifted.

Yeah, because gay people get really turned on watching straight guys pee. Are you for real? Do you practice 'safe latrine drill' in all aspects of your life? Are you a cubicle peeer?
