The Army is about the mission that is to be performed. If something endangers the successful or efficient completion of the mission, it is not permitted. Homosexuality is just one of the many things that have been conclusively shown to adversely affect the mission. That is why there are regulations against it. Since the comment was so directly aimed at me, I got the feeling that it was something that had been discussed.
Any game has rules.
If one wishes to play, but can't or won't follow the rules, it does little good to place the blame for any ensuing consequences upon the game. As soon as I have room to post it, you'll be able to read it. However, as I've already said, my personal views on that subject have little to do with the reasons for supporting a ban on gays serving in the military. That support is based on objective evidence and the mission of the Army. The Army is restricted by law to having a limited number of members.
