- It seems that what your premise amounts to, is discrimination by whim.
-
- You seem to steadfastly avoid the fact that most of the world has
- eliminated the discrimination that you want to continue in this country.
- Their fighting forces are as capable as our troops in handling any situation
- that is sent their way. Our superiority of prowess is in the better
- equipment and the training to handle it effectively. Many of those who are
- trained are homosexuals and handle the combat situation with some abilities
- lacking in the ordinary heterosexual troop which is why so many of the
- homosexual soldiers are personally decorated for excelling in bravery in
- battle situations.
-
- Because some small minded individual in the War Dept started this whole
- thing in 1941 does not make it the right and proper thing to do. It is
- time to bring our military 'mindset' into the late 20th Century of social
- thinking. Getting the military 'mindset' out of the days of the caveman is
- an advance in military strategy that will dumbfound the enemies of this
- nation.
