That would totally wreck cohesion and ability to function. Plus, in the AF, we spend millions of dollars training each individual, and talk about a huge waste of potential. Plenty of people I know in the military would not give 2 craps if gay people were AOK in the USA(F). With that said, our country is far more socially 'conservative' that the other countries you mentioned which allow gays to serve (doesn't that just sound sick and totally pre-civil rights movement, to say "you can't do this b/c you're gay"?), and since we're more fundie in this country, I'm thinking it wouldn't go over AS WELL as it did in Israel, for instance. Or anywhere in Europe for that matter. So it would be a bit tougher to do it here, but I say, we gotta start sometime. Let's get out of the 19th century ethics department in this country, we should have NO second class citizens. Hmmph. You wana join up? LOL.
