My friend was in the reserve until he did his twenty years.
Years ago i was in favor of gays in the military. My friend never really seemed to have an opinion...
Then his brother and a bunch of seals back from Iraq were out drinking with us. After a few beers my friend turns to these SEALs and says... jem here thinks you guys should be serving with guys who are openly gay. (from my friends perspective it was just about the funniest thing he could have done)
Those guys demanor completely changes. They were sort of ready to take my head off. they asked me if knew about their missions. they ask me if they knew that they sometimes had to sleep buts to nuts with the guys on their team. They were were dying out their and I was a complete commie for telling them they need to sleep buts to nuts with a gay guy while they were risking their lives for our safety.
They were the ones who convinced me... I seriously doubt the sentiment of seals has changed. If it were up to me, I would leave it up to the military.
