- And what powerful military forces they are. The military is an
- institution of camaraderie. I think you would somewhat lose this
- camaraderie if you acknowledged homosexuals in the military. Working
- with a homosexual is one thing. Living with one is something different.
- Having been in the Army, I would say the only way to allow gays in the
- military would be to provide separate housing, which would be kind-of
- hard to do in a time of war.
