Gays in the Military?

[MODU]

As Mikey said, there are multiple reasons why Don't Ask, Don't Tell should remain in place at the current time.  In general, I have no problems with Gays in the military, since they'll die for their country just as I would.  However, the social dynamic and unit cohesiveness currently requires gays to keep their life-style choice private.  Not only can it risk an overbearing since of doubt and mistrust with some service members, it can also put  the gay's life at risk if someone with an overwhelming homophobia feels threatened and acts out (which has happened in the past).
