The military has always been on the hook to political agendas. Always. Having gottenm hit by it again, make sit no weaker than any other political agenda that has affected it. Actually, this one was pretty small in comparison to others that have hit it.
Continuing making the "same mistake" doesn't weaker you? Really?
So I guess making less mistakes doesn't make you stroner either? So.... what makes you stronger? No change?

The ability of the military as a fighting force is not certain to be affected.
That makes no sense. If the people of the military are unhappy, then the their performance is at stake. That's really the bottom line.

Other nations that have allowed homosexuals to serve haven't been affected. History actually points to there being no serious problems and the small one there were, were negligible and overcome fairly quickly.
That's why I wrote
"So, the ability of the military to function as a fighting force wont be affected until more men become open. As long as they stay closeted, it will be no change like before, except not getting kicked out when found out. It will most surely take a downfall then overtime move it's way back up. That's true for anything. If the military went Co-Ed, it would have severe problems at first, then over time, it will be Star ship Troopers." People will overcome any comfort issue over time. That doesn't make it right. I was talking with a friend today and she was saying how sad it is that people are used to getting rocketed because it happens so much.
