Reply #118: My experience? A gay soldier during Reagan's outright ban. [View All]

Still a subculture of gay people, both male and female almost everywhere I went, including the ultra testosterone laden Cavalry. I know this was a time of ramped up witch hunts, especially in the Navy, but there have always been ways to find each other out when we're forced into it.

None of us. Straight, gay, bi, ever though about having sex in foxholes. They're dirty, smelly, muddy, have sharp tree roots sticking out and sometimes have pig shit in them, and to think that's the place to get it on is beyond astronomically stupid. I just didn't have my thesaurus handy for a more extreme term.

Being gay is not about sex, sex, sex. It's much more than that. You would know that (and probably do) if you weren't trying to salvage this insipid argument that it's all about sex, even after you admitted that the DADT policy is bad, and should be revoked.

The question you appparently never really asked yourself is what really is the purpose of the Armed Forces. Is it to provide the nation with a means of defense and support for our allies, or is it an exclusive breeder boy's club meant to stay that way as long as they have anything to say about it?

This is the fundamental argument I see going on here. Hormones are already there, and as long as they keep recruiting 18-22 year olds, it's ging to be that way for some time. The question really is... Who's hormones are worth the honor of serving?
