It appears some heads are getting a bit hot here.
May I suggest stepping away from the keyboard for about an hour and letting a bit of steam off elsewhere before responding?

I think that alone has accomplished what I could not!

If you can't understand that, then i'm sorry.

Now let's get this thread back on the subject of Female Combat Personnel.
Ok. No problem. This will be my last post.

However you might want to entertain the idea that you are repeating yourself because some questions were not being answered.

I wouldn't be too worried though. There are gay people in Canada too, including the military. Not only that but when I was in the army, we didn't have laws that violated human rights which kept them from serving... and interesting enough, the gays didn't make a mess of things.

The Gays that I knew while in the Navy never felt their Human Rights were being violated, and I still know them to this day and they were the first ones who had expressed the fears I'm talking about.

Coming from a British perspective, I don't understand all the fuss. In the British military gay and lesbian soldiers are accorded the same rights as everyone else, hell they can get married and qualify for a family quarter.

This is a relatively recent thing but the British attitude, post-80's, has been really positive in this regard. Who you screw has nothing to do with how you fight.

In the post-2tk enviroment it'l be even less of a consideration as basic survival tends to be mor eimportant than cultural/religous bigotry.

Ture. who you sleep with is between you, your partner and God. And that's who it should stay with. The fear is that the identity politics activists are going to be able to get in, and start causing problems (there is a laundry list of cases of the kinds of things they have done in San Fran, the list of gays storming chrisitan churches, ect).

That's what my friends and family who are openly gay are worried will happen beause of what's going on with the so-called "gay marriage" debate with activists pulling some horrible things off to just get attention.

And as I have stated time and time again... I don't care who you sleep with, I just don't want you forcing it down mine or anyone else's throat. I had someone do that to me LITERALLY, not figureative. I was rapped. and they got away with it because of the political games being played at the time.

I am joining my adopted family was we just hope and pray that the recruiters and indoctrination & training centres will be able to weed out the ones who are Identitiy Political Activist who do horrirlbe things to get special 'gay rights'
