Don't Ask

I am completely in support of gay people serving in the military. Period. Anyone who is physically and mentally capable of serving and feels a call to duty should be able to serve.

I acknowledge that there exists a single issue- logistics. There are not co-ed barracks, because of all sorts of male/female issues, including the physical distraction. Not that men and women aren't having liaisons in the military, some more than they should *coughcathycough*, but it is a strict policy to keep men and women from being side by side in battle or bunks. So, where is the best place for a gay person to be? If you had one gay man, could you put him in a women's group? Perhaps, but the female groups don't necessarily do the same things as the men. And of course there isn't going to be just one man or woman in a group who is gay.

It's a conundrum. Maybe they just let men and women live and work together. Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria! Ahaha.

Fortunately, it is not my job to figure out these life riddles. Although, this is more a brain teaser, which is up my alley. Battalion 14 has two gay men and Battalion 22 has three gay women. There are 4 barracks. No men and women can bunk together and no gay people of the same sex can bunk together. Also, Homophobic Harry doesn't want any gay men sleeping with him, although there was that one night in college...

My morning sign-in process had a minor flaw, but I've fixed it for today. WOO! Alas, I will not be there to see it, because I work the afternoon shift. I'll actually be at a training downtown again today. Last one.
