There is a decent article on the subject in Wikipedia, with links to more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gays_in_the_military

As for " most likely not in the combat units", that is clearly untrue - back in the days when people were being dismissed from the military because of their sexual orientation, they included plenty from combat units. For a current example of a frontline gay British soldier, and on the consequences of his 'coming out' see here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-decision.html
