Gays in the Military | The Moderate Voice.
likewise women should be allowed to be in combat squads along side of men… I’m sure none of them will begin having sexual relationships, and I’m sure that those sexual relationships will not inhibit their ability to make snap decisions concerning the lives of those that serve under and beside them…
rule #1 of building a military; do not put young, sexually compatible persons in close, unsupervised proximity to one another and expect them not to have sexual relationships.
Do you want to be in a squad where two of the other members are lovers? regardless of sexes? do you think you will get the same consideration as that lover when do or die comes down to the wire? what if your superior was having a relationship with one of your squad-mates? do you think you will get equal treatment and consideration?
sexual segregation is a tenant of military history… therefore if gays serve in the open, they should be segregated into some type of sexually stagnant environment… like all other soldiers.
so one gay man to each female squad? and one gay woman to each male squad? what about bisexuals? hmmm… I’m sure a lone female lesbian soldier would enjoy being deployed in such a manner…
Then what about the disparaging difference in female deployment vs male in terms of combat roles and pay scales… should women be side by side with men on the front lines? because you want it to be fair right? that’s what this is all about… fair. not about the reality of the situation… but about some “higher plane of existence” where “feels goods” works in Nature.
