    the Military cannot make any decision on the subject. they can do nothing about it until DoMA is repealed and it becomes federally legal across all 50 states and US territories.

    I don't have any obstacle with gays socializing with every other, but within the army, things are bit unique. In case you are straight, would you sleep with ease for your cot questioning if the "man" in the next cot had thoughts about you ? Would you suppose comfy in a foxhole wondering if the "guy" next to you used to be wondering about your physique, and no longer focusing on the enemy ? Let gays socialize and marry all they want, but I do think the army is the fallacious venue, peculiarly considering straight guys are far from their cherished ones for long periods of time.

    Morals are out the window in today's world, so why should not allow the depravity, and declare it legal. What man says is legal does NOT in the least mean that it is right.
