As it is now, anyone can serve in the military. They can be the most flamboyantly gay person ever, or the most undoubtedly straight person. So long as they serve, it doesn't matter whether or not they are homosexual. Should the law be changed so that gays can serve in the military openly? I see no reason why not. At the same time though, should the law be changed in support of gays? I see no reason why. The law should say that no matter an individual's sexuality, they should be able to serve. And that's what's the current law says.
Sure, I'd like the law to say that they can be openly gay, but at the same time, if they can be gay and be soldiers at the same time, is that really so wrong, even given the current "don't ask don't tell" law? Is being openly gay so really necessary in the modern army? Or is it only necessary to the modern liberal?
