Whatever. I'm angry because I expect better of you guys, not because I hate the military.
Well of course you expect better, because we are supposed to be perfect and we are supposed to not reflect exactly what the American society delivers to recruit depots. You are angry because you lack perspective. I imagine plenty were angry when women dared to voice that they were equal. And I imagine much anger was developed when blacks dared to demand equality. But these are social struggles that we got past because we Americans have a way of declaring things quite boldly. This is no different other than the aspect of it. You can pretendthat gays are accepted inthe American society all you want, but they are not. They are viewd as second class citizens with less rights than heterosexuals. Many gravitate towards certain localesof employment to avoid harrassment and many find it easier to keep sexual orientation a secret. Once again, you seek the military to enforce what is "right" for an American society. And eventually, we will.
Can you just admit that it's a professionalism issue, without all the secondary and tertiary justifications?
Like I stated, professionalism is following policy. And what is the ****ing policy?
What you are suggesting is that the military should decide on its own to defy the policies set by the Clinton White House and you wish to label this activity "professionalism."
