Choke on big thick throbbing opinion

Ok, so soldiers are being surveyed about what exactly they think about gays openly serving in the military. Ok, how kind of them to ask. Aren't we forgetting however that this is the MILITARY? I don't recall any surveys prior to desegregating the military, much less a Q&A session.

Is it possible the pentagon has too much funding, to support pointless surveys?

Yes.

I mean at the end of the day if you come across a particularly ignorant jar head that busts the jaw of a queer-o-sexual; wouldn't it make more sense to point the finger of non-unit-cohesion at the jar head rather than the gay? I mean, its fairly doubtful that a Jewish solider would be blamed for destroying unit cohesion simply for being Jewish (unless of course its the German army during that whole you-know-what-ocaust).

While democracy is excellent, as it allows me to dis-empower those who annoy me (ahem), at certain points absolutes have to be set. Equality is a nice absolute to start with. There will always be one group of people that isn't too keen on another group. Now, give them a vote on said group's rights and we've got a quandary. There's an abundance of examples in history...apartheid era South Africa, Rwanda in the 90s, Serbs and Bosnians, the entirety of colonialism. Soo, no, choke on my opinion -- equality for equality's sake, or we can all go back to owning slaves.

Besides, who doesn't like a man in uniform?
