Many on the right believe that if Obama were to override "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", it would lower the morale of troops. They claim that some "heterosexual" men aren't comfortable bunking with openly gay men. Is that a legitimate arguement?
 
No. There have been homosexuals in the military throughout history. A lot of things have lowered the moral of warriors for eons, but homosexuality wasn't one of them.

It's nothing more than legalised discrimination.
 
No. It is a stupid argument.
 
So men and women can't shower/sleep together , etc, but gay men and straight men can?
 
It takes forever to eliminate outdated policies that were never legitimate to begin with. It's the American way.
 
Someone has pointed out that my post was redundant given whose thread I posted it in.

I can tell you that instead of homosexuals making heterosexuals uncomfortable, it was the other way around. The overall atmosphere was Uber-macho, so the gay men in our unit were under incredible pressure to conform to this macho zeitgeist.

Being retired USAF I have to agree. I lived with the discrimination and vitriol expressed by the majority against anyone who was gay, or suspected of being gay. I witnessed the words (but never physical violence) my coworkers expressed. I was so deep in the closet, I never said anything. I deeply regret that.

Was it morale? There was never, in my experience, any effect on the work to be done, but it was more in the after work, social scene. Is that part of morale? Perhaps, but when it came to work or getting the job done, that was never an issue. The only issue was after work socializing.

Do you SERIOUSLY think that's a legitimate excuse for barring gays and lesbians from serving in the military?

C'mon. Look who's you're responding to.

The conservative troll sockpuppet Scrapple.

Why would you expect him to be in favour of gay equality?
