Sorry, perhaps Jews would be a better example.  We don't KNOW that people in the military are Jews.  If I were a soldier, serving next to another, I wouldn't necessarily KNOW he's Jewish.

If I make him do push-ups, or make a racist comment, that could open up the military and the gov't to a lawsuit.  Should we keep Jews out of the military?

I am certain I already answered who should be in the military.

Perhaps I missed that.  If Jews in the military could open the gov't up to "discrimination lawsuits," do you support banning them from the military?

I believe everyone should have to serve at least 2 years in the military for some perspective.  But that would be too socialist and infringe on peoples freedom of choice.  


This statement wasn't good enough as for who I think should serve in the military?

OK...say I'm a homosexual, and was REQUIRED to serve.  Would it be a crime to tell everyone I was a homosexual?  I hope not, because I'm a crackerjack shot!

I will stick with what I said.  Our military is currently not prepared to change the policy.  

LOL - like being a great shot means any thing.

It appears that tbv has never served in the military.

Giantsfan.....unless one was or is in the military...they will never get it! Plan and simple.

There is clearly no sense to your logic here tbv. Posting with you is like going through a revolving door over and over and over again! End of this conversation.

Big man bumble, comin' through! If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, I guess.

Giantsfan,  I appreciate your willingness to debate an issue.  Others, I can't say the same.

no one should be talking about their sexual preference.....and maybe some folks get married for convenience that it never has to do with sex
.....heterosexual/homosexual preferences dont belong in the public....keep it to yourself.....men and women are separated because babies often show up

and yes the reason homosexuals aren't granted 'marriage rights'(religious marriage has nothing to do with this) IS because of how our social-money
system is set up.......if all of sudden 1/3 of the population 'came out' and were married and then aged and retired the pressure on SS and other
social systems(which are a farce for the current system and are VERY lacking jokes) would be tremendous....not only are the boomers coming, add
gay marriage and spread the spousal rights and what will we have????

I really dont care what they choose.....it's always economics and the manipulation of our emotions


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

I obviously have missed out on something from before.  I am currently in the service and I am currently deployed.  Believe what you will.
