agree .....

There's a huge difference between a difference between races and a difference between sexes. You can tell a man he's got to shower with another man, and you can tell a woman she's got to shower with another woman. That's fine. But tell a man he's got to shower with a gay man and it's like telling a woman she's got to shower with a group of men.

I'm all for gays in the military. I'm a former Marine; I'm sure some of the buys in my unit were gay. But if you take out the gays from the issue, it's still about the sexes - you can't tell a woman she's got to shower with twenty men daily. I don't know how they do it in combat zones as it is these days.
