- You are issuing the same arguments that were put forth when President
- Truman ordered Black Americans to be integrated into the military services
- back in 1948.
- The military is a remarkably adaptable group of individuals who will do
- what they are told to do, when they are told to do it, even though they
- personally do not like the order.
- There undoubtedly will be incidents which will cause some individuals to be
- brought up on charges before a courts marshall but all of this has happened
- before and as time goes by the number of incidents is lessened to the point
- that they actually become rare.
-
- Most of what people believe about homosexuals is what they have been told
- by the hate perveyors of the extreme right who like to call themselves
- 'Christians' but whose stock in trade is filling minds with hate so that
- they can sell the concept of sin, sin, sin and more sin with the only
- salvation for that sin being to contribute more money to the hate mongers.
