The military is VOLUNTEER.
If you are too afraid to take a shower with someone who "might" be gay, maybe you should reconsider your choice of career.

But..hey.. that guy selling tires next to you at Sears' Automotive "might" also be gay

or are you really sure about your doctor?>.,,just how well DO you know him/her?

How about banning Homophobes from the volunteer military....or the job market completely..?

They are apparently too afraid anyway, so maybe they would be better off just manning their keyboards..at home... where they could completely control their contact with "possibles".... but wait!...what about Uncle Harry, who never married and who takes vacations with his "friend".. Is the home not safe either? whatever will the homophobes do?...Mommmmmyyyyyyy!

1. Except for those who "volunteered" rather than do time in prison.
Even the homophobes probably won't notice a bit of difference. I hope.

3. I didn't think the judges still "offered" that choice
That was pretty common "back in the day"...

Reform school/jail or the army:)

4. I may be mistaken, but I thought I heard that's what Bush/Cheney did to get
people enlisted for Iraq.

I'll check it out.
