The closed hearing, now in its eighth hour, is being held in an armory at Hancock Air Base in Syracuse. A four-member panel of officers will decide if Choi, a platoon leader with the famed 1-69th Infantry out of Manhattan, violated the federal statute that forbids gay and lesbian members of the military from serving openly or engaging in homosexual acts.
I asked my dad who served in Vietnam how he felt about the DADT policy. He told me that he believes its stupid and if they can kill the enemy it shouldnt matter.
Gay West Point grad testifies before Army | recordonline.com
Ask your dad if he knowingly shared an open bay shower with a gay soldier. Ask him how he would have felt about that? Ask him if he would, "spoon", with an openly gay soldiers on a freezing cold night.
Can you debate the issue without going into sensationalism?

To think of all those delicate little flowers having to.....shudder.... allow a gay guy to see their jewels.
What if they didn't measure up? The horror. Oh, the horror!

Welcome to the world of straight male soldiers reporting cases of sexual harrassment. The sexual harrassment rate in the military is going to go through the roof.

Where did you get the idea that gay people are all sex-crazed maniacs who can't keep their hands off straight males? Is this one of your fantasies, perhaps? :lol:
Who the hell cares? If people are more scared of another dude checking out their junk than they are of getting their head blown off in war, that's THEIR problem.

That was the claim when DADT was first implemented. Funnily enough, it did not happen. In fact, all the claims of doom and gloom because gays might be able to serve proved to be false.
The couple gays I served with before DADT where pretty discreet actually. We all knew they where gay, and they did not really hide the fact, but they did not do anything to intentionally draw attention to the fact. The reaction of those of us who served and at times showered with them: who cares.
I suppose you'll point me to the section in that link that indicates gay on straight sexual harassment is or will be a problem?
So, you are in support of females and males sharing latrines?
Are you fully aware of what constitues sexual harrassment in the miltiary? There's more to it than physical contact. A male soldier can be charged with sexual harrassment for simply opening a door for a female soldier. Bet you didn't know that.
Like hell it didn't! You were never in the service after DADT, were you?
That's kinda silly, since it was written in '95.
Care to show me the study that proves gay and straight co-habitance won't be a problem? Thanks in advance.

?
So you're worried that the sexual harrassment rate is going to go through the roof because gay men will open doors for straight men?
You mean like does occasionally happen now, and has since women have served in the military on occasion?
That is also not true. I went to a godawful number of training classes on sexual harassment, and opening doors for some one is not even close to qualifying.
He is not making any claim, you are. It's your responsibility to back up your claim.
