You must not have ever served in the military... I don't care what a person's sexual preference is. I just don't see why a gay person HAS to announce their preference to the world..

The reason I feel it is not good for the military to allow OPEN gay persons to serve is this: When someone gets wounded or blown up you rush to help them, to try and save their life, HOWEVER, now lets say that the guy that has been flaunting his gayness gets hit some people WILL think twice before running to help them. The first thing in some people minds WILL be HIV, does this person have it? Yes, you are tested in the military but there are ways around that as well.. You have to remember most of the military is comprised of people from the south as well as the lower end of the social structure in life and as a result those folks WILL not change with the times..

Not to mention ALL the issues it will cause in the living areas... As well as when a open gay person flunks out of a school or course their will be lawsuits claiming it is because he or she is gay.. etc..etc.. Just stay with the current DADT policy...
