"Dont ask dont tell."

    Seriously, gay people can join the army already, so I don't understand why the list of countries that allow it as well. The only difference is that we 'don't ask and don't tell'.

    You guys took my opinion out of proportion. It would affect the way [SIZE="4"][FONT="Palatino Linotype"]I[/FONT][/SIZE] did my job, not the way he did. I don't tell you guys how to act, so don't try to push it on me. I'm allowed to view things the way I want and I think you guys should respect that. The "dont ask dont tell" policy, would make others who have the same views as me, to do their job worse, that's all I'm saying.

    As for anyone trying to justify what I think is wrong, you can go **** yourself, because I'm not poking in your business telling you that you shouldn't be gay/straight/white/black/purple/blue/w.e. I couldn't give a **** as long as you don't try to push something on me. Okay?

    The topic IS: "DON'T ASK DON'T TELL" not, "Oh Byte doesn't like Gays."

    Well I assumed more when you said
    Seeing as a majority of other men in the military feel this way too, this policy should have indeed stayed in play.

    It's already been pointed out that you don't need to accept gay people with open arms but if you're going to push policies that segregate them that's a different case.
    You've pointed out some of the major counterpoints brought up by opponents of the repeal. But what I'm saying is that's only an issue that's completely blown out of proportion. Reading soldiers talk about it, most don't give a crap if they are seen naked by a gay guy, they're more worried about being caught in the scope of an enemy. Like the quote up above, some are angry that people think they're going to worry over being checked out when they've already put their lives on the line.

    Its fine that you don't like gays but your problem is that you let your thoughts affect you and other people in a negative way. That is BAD.
