OMG I know its a fundemental right to be a homo as I am one. This is what Im saying, we the people fund the military of this country, we pay the bill so it should be us who decides who we want dying for our freedoms.
The government has gotten so ahead of us the citizens that(and we have let them)they think they can say what is what when we pay the bills.
If we the people are loud enough about it we can change it.
The biggest problem is that joining the military is a choice and the military officials will akin that to what they think is a choice about being gay.
If a poll was taken among military people I would bet that they wouldnt give a flying frogs azz who serves.
