So, basically you're a hypocrite?
You were getting in a huge hissy fit how it wasn't fair that a **** has to cover up their feelings in the military even though they have the right to serve, therefore the rule must be changed because certain heterosexuals can be open about certain sexual qualities.
Now, you say it's all "fine and dandy" that a man Soldier can't room with his wife, but a man can room with his husband? Really? You some how think that's fair? Why in the world would you want to room with a stranger when you can be with your spouse. Matter of fact, in a normal unit, the Soldier is authorized to live off post to be with their spouse. In the school house, that is not the case.
This is why your argument is flawed, it's not based on any logic, just an emotional motive towards a cause at any cost necessary. That's dangerous in any scenario.
Yeah, that doesn't make me a hypocrite. I would be a hypocrite if I, for example, was fine with heterosexuals being open about their sexuality in the military, but wanted those damn homos to keep it under wraps. That would make me a hypocrite.
And I'm pretty sure the military will adapt to open homosexuality in the military. If two men are married, I'm sure they'll make them follow protocol.
Matter of fact, it sounds like I've got more confidence in the military's ability to handle this than you do, and you work for them. Sad, really.
ETA: Oh, and I'll state, again, that I'm fine with acknowledging that I get emotionally invested in making sure that all citizens are treated equally in the eyes of the law. It's better to know what you're thinking and feeling than to try to hide it by spouting crap about "logic" that doesn't really make any sense. I can be emotionally involved in an issue and still see the logic in my position. Something you seem to lack, unfortunately.
