openleft.com— "Do you think homosexuals who DO publicly disclose their sexual orientation should be allowed to serve in the military or not?" 75% agree, up from 44% in 1993 and 62% in 2001.

I agree. And it would be devastiting on countries that are against gays, and like Iran says they do not exist there. Can you imagine there faces when a platoon of thousands of gays sweep through there town blowing s**t up.
What exactly is wrong with the "don't ask don't tell" policy? It's a good compromise because homosexuals can still be homosexuals but not offend anyone at the same time. If they like to practice sodomy, fine, but I don't want nor do I need to know about it. Enforcing ones belief system on others is more in line with tyranny then keeping perverts in the closet.I'm also quite sure that this survey is heavily biased. They always use these surveys as a way of shaping public opinion. Those with weak convictions will see this opinion poll and then think that that is their own opinion. Those of us who can think independently will know that 75% is ridiculously off center and couldn't possibly be scientifically accurate. And to all you liberals, if this was a Fox news poll claiming the opposite opinion (75% think don't ask don't tell is right) you would all be claiming how the poll was biased and you know that to be true.
"If someone (heterosexual or not) is behaving in a way that is damaging the force's effectiveness, deal with those damaging actions.."They have: don't ask don't tell policy. Biggotry being rampant in the military and the military not being a moral class: the quickest and most effective solution is to just shut up about your sexual orientation.
"I think it's a great compromise ... I think it protects homosexuals"You're absolutely right. I don't like living in a society where they exist, but there's not much I can do about that without setting up camps and sending them all there for "re-education." It is a good compromise from those of us who find them abhorrent and those who think it's acceptable.It also protects them because they are relieved from having to out themselves and not being forced to be subjected to harassment, because you know people like me would do just that.
Fine, then give the homosexual the choice whether to tell or not, if they decide they don't want to say something that may influence someone else to start a fight - that's their choice. With the legislation the way it is, that choice is made for them, and they have lost their rights.Or.. legislate the same rules for heterosexuals - nobody's allowed to talk about their home lives. It's when you single one group of people out for special treatment that it is discrimination.
What are you talking about? Freedom? We're talking about MEN WHO f**k EACH OTHER IN THE ASS!? What if I really love my pet donkey? Would it be perfectly ok with you if I sodomized it?
