If We Know You're Gay, We Will Discharge You From the Army

Unless there is a war on and we have to recruit criminals and idiots to fill our ranks. Then we are not going to lose sleep over having gays in the Army.

    Yeah, this has been going on for a while. Basically, if you're in theater, they don't give a shit whether you're gay, an illegal immigrant, or Martian. You're a warm body, you're going out there on the line. I've heard this story multiple times from multiple soldiers over the years, including both gay soldiers and a couple of straight soldiers who filmed themselves having gay sex in hopes of getting out of Iraq (nope, didn't work, their commander merely looked at the images, said "that's disgusting", and sent'em back on patrol), and in all cases the chain of command is indifferent as long as they're in a combat zone. I think the thought is that if being gay is a problem with the dude's comrades, they'll frag him and the Army won't have a problem, and if being gay isn't a problem with the dude's comrades, the Army *still* won't have a problem.

    It's when the troops get back home that the anti-gay jihad starts up, as the Rear Echelon Assholes start crapping all over the troops. Nobody's got time for that kind of shit in a combat zone. There's a job to do, and if someone isn't pulling their weight, he'll be pulling it soon enough or else.
