HomoeusMilitarius

One of the biggest debates regarding the military, is the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. A lot of people misunderstand this policy. Homosexuality is still not allowed in the US Military. The policy just states, you can't be asked about it, keep your bedroom private and you'll be fine.
Being an Army wife, when this subject arises,this question never fails:
Well you're an Army wife, what do you think about Gays in the Army?

There are several things wrong with this question:
1. My opinion isn't any more important than anyone else, who doesn't go to war.

2.(The biggest)Even though I am an Army wife, I don't have weekly sitdowns with Congress like people seem to believe we do. I don't call the White House and ask to schedule time with President Obama, and I doubt he really wants to hear my opinion on any subject, let alone this one.

My personal opinion on this subject, is pretty simple. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO IN YOUR BEDROOM. KEEP IT IN YOUR BEDROOM. I couldn't care less, who sticks what where.
Some people are into feet, some people are into leather, I don't care. You can be worshipping the Norse God of Goat Herders and its NONE of my business.
A soldier should get up in the morning, put on his/her uniform and do their job. Not advertise their sexual preference.
There is no room in the military for sex, just ask any wife of a deployed soldier!

Now with that being said, I do think there is some credibility for putting homosexuals and women on the front lines. Take Iraq for example. We could have already blown it up, torn it down, rebuilt and redecorated by now. Take away our
M-16s and give us some swatches. We're gonna make this place SPARKLE!!!
