Let me get this straight, it is OK to share a foxhole with a gay man, as long as you don't know he is gay???? For the homophobic out there, this means it is OK if he has fantasies about jumping your bones (forget it... you ain't that pretty) as long as you are ignorant of it???

Look, I am a caver, (and a significant # of cavers are openly gay) I have put my life in other people's hands on many occasions (and they have in mine)... I don't care if they are gay...

Are they competent? That is all that really matters.

If that remains the case, it’s much more difficult to justify a ban on black doctors, dentists, translators, and the like than one for infantrymen. While all of these people live in close quarters, they’re rather seldom called upon to occupy a foxhole.

Yep, it's the same damn thing.

the military has no official position on the morality of homosexual conduct.

Well no, if you don't the comments of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs as official.
