...line? There was text?

EL said:The Swedish army has now started a campain in order to recruit more women. Quite a remarkable ad I would say:
Great. I love you too. Maybe we should join the army?Cyrus said:I meant I love you for posting this. It's an expression.
quadraphonics said:More than that; it is "illegal" NOT to dismiss them. I put illegal in quotes because nobody is realistically going to be punished for not dismissing a gay soldier, and many officers are supportive of openly-gay service people. But, legally speaking, gay people aren't allowed to be in the armed forces, so any soldier found to be gay are, technically, supposed to be kicked out right away.
EL said:I'm quite stunned after hearing that.
What would be the reasons for not allowing gay people?
If it's some fear of "too much sex" or so, how come both males and females are allowed to join the army?
Again, if this is true, it's an extremely sick policy.
EL said:Is there actually a "legal" way to dismiss homosexuals from the US military if they "out" themselves?
I'm not sure if I should interpret that as an attempt to defend the law, or just as a dejected statement?Cyrus said:Its the Army, that's just the way it is.
So why doesn't Congress "act"?Vanadium 50 said:It's mandatory. Homosexual behavior is a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and to change that would require an act of Congress.
EL said:I'm not sure if I should interpret that as an attempt to defend the law, or just as a dejected statement?
If the first is true, I don't see your point.
If the second is true, it is sad you feel things cannot be changed.
Cyrus said:I really don't care one way or another about the issue. I am not trying to change things to allow gay people into the army.
EL said:Although one is not actually doing anything actively to change things, it of course doesn't stop one from having an opinion about wheter it's right or wrong.
Do you think it's right or wrong?
Hypothetically, if you were given the chance to change this law, would you do it or not?
