Obama wants to end "Don't ask, don't tell"

[Vteckidd]

I dont think there should be a BAN on gays in the military, but i agree with the dont ask dont tell.

Someones sexual orientation is not needed for other jobs, why the military?

Ok think of it this way. In the military often times you room/shower/live with other people. Generally most people will feel very uncomfortable knowing that they guy sleeping next to them is gay. It's ignorant to be paranoid about something so stupid, but ignorance breeds heavily in the human race especially amongst military people.

I do see this and agree with you. I guess I do agree with vk in that I don't think they should be banned, but I also don't think they should be forced to disclose their orientation if they don't want to.. or even if they do, they shouldn't be discriminated on.

Not only is it not needed, im certain it would be ILLEGAL to be discriminant over someone's sexual orientation.

They DO keep women off of submarines in the Navy...never say never.

I might argue with you Mike on the persuasion issue at work. I believe there is a lot of behind close doors discrimination about ones choice at work (admit it, some are more obviously gay than others that chose to carry themselves more like a masculine guy). I have witnessed a former employer not taking a qualified candidate because they "looked" gay.

In the military, you would think, since it's almost all swinging d*cks, a secret like that wouldn't be kept a secret long. I would believe though that it has it's downfalls. A ban, however, would be considerably out of the question.

because military is real mans job, gay guy is not a real man.

Dear Guy

Please, elaborate on what is/isn't a "real" man. I find all this hate speak, self righteous doubletalk, and vulgar display of ignorance absolutely hilarious.

My sentiments exactly.
