A guy worked under me (not literally) and he was as queer as a three dollar bill. Nice guy, and adequate technician, but he had a penchant for staring at guys in the showers.<br /><br />I tried talking to him at least twice because he was a very nice guy and I thought he was a wonderful person, but he persisted in "meat gazing." <br /><br />Some of the guys got together and told me that they were going to throw his ass overboard in the North Atlantic if "John" didn't cut it out ASAP!<br /><br />I told John what the score was and he straightened his act up. Treading water for hours at 49 degrees didn't really appeal to him.<br /><br />Openly gay soldiers will be an ENORMOUS problem!JINGOISThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767545065448290469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189014262945889443.post-16864511164981411992010-02-27T07:29:46.515-08:002010-02-27T07:29:46.515-08:00Gays in the military is a back-burner issue with m...Gays in the military is a back-burner issue with me but I don't like it.

The reason the sexes are separated in the military, i.e. separate living quarters, bathrooms, etc. is because it is difficult to be comfortable when somebody may be eyeing you for a sexual encounter. With homosexuality, you can no longer give someone that degree of privacy and the military does not know what to do about it. Therefore, they ban openly homosexual personnel.<br /><br />Because combat is trying enough on a person’s nerves, I agree with the General. Otherwise, we should abandon all personal privacy in the military and mix men and women in sleeping quarters and restroom facilities, combat arms, and have done with it. I am tired of half measures being taken in order to make a minority feel good. If BHO wants to do that, then great, otherwise he and his ilk should shut up.William Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481469340558843146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189014262945889443.post-16262085893710405912010-02-26T10:43:55.991-08:002010-02-26T10:43:55.991-08:00IMO, it is a cultural thing. here we learn:
"...IMO, it is a cultural thing. <a href="http://www.sptimes.com/2007/01/08/Worldandnation/Israeli_experience_ma.shtml" rel="nofollow">here</a> we learn:<br />"Countries that allow gays to serve in the military:<br /><br />Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Belgium, Britain, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland<br /><br />Countries that ban gays from the military:<br /><br />Argentina, Belarus, Brazil, Croatia, Greece, Poland, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Turkey, United States and Venezuela.<br /><br />The list does not include those countries in which homosexuality is banned outright, such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and several other nations in the Middle East. These countries generally have no stated policy on gays in the military because they do not allow or acknowledge the presence of gays at all." <br />In the case of the Israelis, they are a fine military and have had<br />gays serve openly for many years.<br />We need consider, however that Israel has a draft and seldom deploys as long as the US military.<br />Britain, Australia and Finland also field good troops. IMO, the crux of the matter is not military gays, per se, but the "open" issue vs military discipline. I mention<br />cultural thing above, because there<br />are still many in the US military that are not keen on women serving<br />either!BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168862935045755393noreply@blogger.com
