I am thinking. The fact that someone is Black or Jewish will not really cause a distraction. Actually, sometimes it will, but it wont be the same type of distraction.
I was in the military and I know the issues. In fact, I don't believe women should be allowed to be in some of these units. I saw the distraction that it was to the soldiers.
When I was young, I looked at it as fun trying to fuck the female soldiers. In fact, there were a lot of relationships on the side and these huge parties off-post. These relationships caused an obvious distraction in the unit. Many of these young soldiers seemed more focus on their relationships with the female soldiers then they were of their job.
Ask yourself, can you control your own kids? Probably not. They do crazy things all the time. So how is an Infantry Captain going to control all his 18 year olds. I can tell you from experience we did a lot of crazy things in ways of drinking and going against the rules. We sometimes laughed at the Captain. The Captain did many times hand down the Article 15s and even sent a few guys to jail for a little bit. He even hung up the 15s on the "Wall of Shame" and everyone saw it right as they walked into company headquarters. That worked for some, but people still found a way to get themselves into trouble.
So I know the distraction that women caused. It was almost like a disease where no one thought about soldiering. Its like Facebook at work. So I think this is how these gay relationships will be throwing all these guys off.
I understand the emotions you have on this, but you are probably a lot older and more mature to the point where you can control yourself. However, I can tell you that a lot of those 18 year olds are still trying to find themselves and its difficult to control them even with the most oppressive measures like sending them to jail. Im telling you this will be a distraction.
