I am curious to know how it is working in other countries that allow gays in the military.

The reason I ask is because you cannot really get any "REAL" information about the topic.

It would be interesting to know what the military men and women are dealing with, and their perspective on it.

Afterall, all the bureucrats and politicians know what is best for everyone.

The media is clammed up tight, the politicians don't talk about it, and the Generals are all under gag orders.

"The I realized why. when they hit on me it was like they were saying, "you are like me", which I found very objectionable."

My self; I found it flattering that I'm a good looking enough guy, for a Gay to even hit on me. I'm secure enough to know how to say thanks for the ego boost but I'm straight.
If your not secure with your self and know how to control your self esteem, or ego then you have a problem with your self.

Gays have been in the military since the dawn of war.
