[Shhhh! I'm Listening to Reason!]

I am one of them.

I liked the LTC's logic: substitute "blacks" for "gays" and you're
right back into the days of segregated battalions.

And why not ?

Does it really matter as long as they're not promoting their sexual preferences ? Gays have
served in the military since time immerorial.

From the halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli
I have fought my country's battles
I have faced every enemy
I ain't scared of no Iraqi missiles
I ain't scared of no Russian tanks
If I'm captured and tortured all they'll get
Is my serial number name and rank
You know I'd storm Baghdad to kick Saddam's butt
Swim to Havana bring home Castro's beard
For my buddies throw my body on a live grenade
I guess I just don't know the meaning of fear
But please
Please
Please please please please please
Don't make me shower with a fairy
Not a fairy--fairies scare me
Cause a fairy might look at my weewee
My weewee--it's so teeny

On the topic: I just learned that the first casualty in Iraq was a
Marine who is gay. He lost a leg and ruined an arm. He sounds like an
interesting man.

Why?
In my opinion none of those categories would mark him as any more or
less
intrinsicly intersting than anyone else. though i do respect
his sacrifice.

His whole life story is interesting; too long and off topic for here.
One interesting point IRT to DADT, is that he was highly respected in
his unit for his work and his personal qualities. His sexual
orientation didn't seem to cause any problems. He's the Godfather to
the kids of 5 men that he served with.

Shame there had to be any sacrifice of that nature.

I used to ask Gay vets why on earth they'd want to sign up and work in such
a hostile environment as the U.S. military. Most of them had the same reason
as straights -- the opportunity to get trained in something marketable. Navy
men had an additional reason.

LOL, I glanced t it and thought doesn't quite look right bur clicjed sne anyway.

I like the alternative take on it.

I was told at school that in Roman baths, it was quite common for slaves/staff to offer oral sex
to the patrons.

While I've heard in England nubile young ladies prefer older men.

Both are probably myths.
