I'm not sure I want a bunch of neanderthal sprouts going into the military. They can't spell or form an entire sentence. They put women down- women should be in the kitchen making them a "sammich". These are teens that think just because they are in ROTC, they are one bombing away from deployment. They just want to blow up things. It's a video game to them.
This train of thought started with a friend of my daughter's saying gays can't serve in the military. I explained the current legislation of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell. I hate to burst their bubble, but gays have been in the military throughout history. Does Alexander The Great ring a bell, or were these guys sleeping through their World History classes? If it weren't for the likes of Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli, Michelangelo, and Napoleon I, we wouldn't be here today in the same enlightened form. I truly doubt our country, with its 400 year history, has gone devoid of gays in its military. I think in the heat of battle, no soldier is going to be saying, "I'm not going to fight with you because you are gay, or black, or Catholic." They will be asking, "Got me covered?"
