Its a doubled edged sword of equal opportunity and professional drama. I honestly think that it is going to be a challenge for the Senior and Junior leaders. The military caters to people from all walks of life, but a considerable percentage of the active force derives their roots from southern states, where open homosexuality is not as culturally acceptable as it is in major US cities such as New York, Chicago, and Seattle. There is going to be a major adjustment for a lot of people. I question how flamboyant gay men are going to act in a combat arms unit where professionalism, and observing good military order and discipline are high on the food chain I question their ability to be socially functional in an all male capacity and I will not pass judgment until I have observed that behavior. Ultimately I never saw a reason for homosexuals, not able to serve. It shows a great deal of selflessness and patriotism to put on the uniform, something that if someone is willing to do it should not be restricted by sexual orientation. However, with a war going on and the economy wigging out, I don't think we need to be worrying about military policy, we have bigger fish to fry, and apparently since our President is completely useless he needs something to put on his resume for Popeyes Chicken after he gets voted out besides the SMART treaty.
