The fact is that as a percentage of the population homosexuals make up only 2%-5%. The number of homosexuals on active duty is even lower. This leads me to the conclusion that all of this is about politics, an attempt to show support for a really small special interest in hopes of garnering votes from the larger population of liberal constituents. This is all about the good of the politicians with no regard for the welfare of those that put their lives on the line in battle.
A repeal of the law as it stands is wrong and quite possibly evil in so far as it affects battle readiness and soldier safety. Keep politics out of the military.
"The head of the US Marines said on Thursday he opposed ending the ban on gays serving openly in the military, the first top officer to break openly with President Barack Obama over the issue.
General James Conway told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he disagreed with Obama's plan to repeal the ban.
"My best military advice to this committee, to the (defense) secretary, and to the president would be to keep the law such as it is."
Conway said the current policy worked and any bid to lift the ban should answer the question: "do we somehow enhance the war fighting capabilities of the United States Marine Corps by allowing homosexuals to openly serve?"
