Way back when, in our little dust-up (Vietnam) the Navy and Air Force had plenty of gay guys.
We had two guys on our Team who were gay and nobody gave a damn.
Because they were smart and fearless and were the kind of guys that you would hope would be alongside you in a tough spot.

Further proof that the arguments against having gays in the military are BS. Once soldiers are in combat together, stupid prejudices go away, just like they did with African Americans in World War Two.
