What a nice friend you are. "You can hang out with me, but anyone you're dating can't, and I don't want to hear about any of your problems with your significant other. You make me uncomfortable. But let's hang out anyway."

Dude, you're nothing if you're not a homophobe.


There is a distinct difference between locker room talk and discussing personal relationships. I said sexual preferences, not relationship preferences. Sexual meaning sexual acts. You owe me an apology.


Smiley: laugh

I'm sorry you seem to be a ****** friend. That help?

You're right, the military can afford to keep discharging gay translators.


One, yes they can, because 99.9999999% of translation is done by civilian contractors or civilian intelligence operatives. Believe it or not, the one news story you remember because it's easily consumable for you to take in and spit back out as douche bag outrage doesn't extrapolate into what you're upset about actually being a problem. For instance, it's probably not common for US infantry to rape and kill local girls. It's happened, but on balance, probably not a big issue.

Two, go fuck yourself. When you have any fucking clue what you're posting about, give me a ring and I'll consider your opinions.

But, I acutally do agree with you. It's the uncomfortable feeling that's the problem. It's the straight guy that's the problem, in other words.


So are they going to have to make separat barracks and showering facilities for the homos?

Allowing homosexuals to shower with hetero's would be like forcing women to shower with men.


No and no.

It's uncomfortable for someone, that's the point. If it's uncomfortable for the straight guy, doesn't he have a right to feel that way? On the other hand, a person shouldn't have to hide themselves. So a compromise was made and that was DADT.

Massive problems right there.

1) Discomfort alone is not a good enough reason to discriminate. It's why we don't have black water fountains and special bus seats any more.

2) "On the other hand, a person shouldn't have to hide themselves. So a compromise was made and that was DADT." Do you think about what you're saying at all? They are hiding themselves, that is the entire point of DADT. "You can be gay, but you HAVE to hide it."

Can anyone seriously tell me they aren't grossed out by hearing about someone's sexual life.

I'm not, probably because I'm an adult or something.

I have gay friends both male and female. I'm not comfortable talking about the sexual preferences that they have so we talk about other things. I return the favor by not talking about my sexual partners. It makes both sides happy. If someone can explain my point better, please do so.

It doesn't make both sides happy, that is why the homosexuals are upset and want this to be repealed. Stop trying to change reality to fit your narrative, believe me we are going to notice.

This also isn't an equally applied rule. If for some reason you happen to let loose your tongue that you enjoy the company of women, and you are in the military, then you aren't going to lose your job. They are.

I don't feel that hiding someone's sexual preference is the same as hiding themselves. Regardless of the military's rules, you're not likely to bring a lover to the local clubs/hang outs anyways. I'll back this up by citing a civilian example. You typically don't see many gay couples at your local hang outs, bars, etc... and when you do it's very rare to see gay patrons. If you do see a gay couple there, everyone else is noticing it too so it's not like you miss it.

I see what you mean by the slip of the tongue. I'll admit I haven't considered that. Like I said in my previous posts, we had a known gay soldier in our unit. Most of our females were bi too. The units don't always crack down if there is no problem with the soldier. Gay sexual acts break the rules in other way which does apply to all soldiers. I won't go into details on the forums, but let's say certain kinds of sex in general is against regulations.

Quote:

This is a bad idea for the US military right now, and while it'll be a political victory, the end result is going to be dead gay men. Long term I'm sure it'll have almost no impact, but the time to do this ISN'T when you're involved in multiple large scale counter insurgency conflicts.


No matter how much we differ on the subject matter, this guy is right. Now it not the right time to pursue this. Any military member already knows the reason regardless of their personal feelings. I feel bad for everyone involved if DADT gets repealed.

Letters from home from a significant other and pictures of said loved one can't be out in the open. Care packages must be careful not to include an "I love and miss you" message, else the soldier in question gets fired from their career. I imagine that's a very, very difficult thing for a soldier in a war who needs all the support he or she can get.

I also wonder where you're from that you've never seen a gay couple at a bar. I also wonder if you honestly think that soldiers on leave don't hit up the local clubs and hook up with people for a one night stand. A gay soldier is in danger of losing everything if he or she partakes in that, while a heterosexual soldier can brag about it to anyone who will listen.

Hey, Wedgy, if you spent 10 minutes reading any personal histories from WW II you may notice that there was plenty of pole smoking going on and that the powers that be generaly looked the other way.

Because, y'know, there were other things more important to worry about.

Like winning.

Which we did.

I must be the most heterosexual ***** on the books then because where you live sounds like a ******** and I still am attracted to women and not men.

Personally, I don't get it. Must be magic.
