Ok, so here is where I have to break rank with too many of my conservative friends. Why is anyone against gays serving in the military? Seriously, do you really think that there are no gays serving now? Would you negate the heroism they've shown so far?
If someone loves their country enough to risk his or her life for it I say let them. More importantly, I say "Thank you". Anyone who puts his or her life on the line is protecting me and my family. They;'re protecting you and your family.
If you believe in limiting the way government rules our lives, if you want smaller less government, how can you support such a wide sweeping rule? Moreover, any laws should serve to protect us, but this makes us weaker as a notion on the national security front. First by limiting those who could serve the country, we are at war still. And second by undermining the trust our uniformed men and women have in each other by forcing them to hide their lives from each other.
