Gays in the Military - Yea or Nay?


It seems that the vast majority of Americans, 75% according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll ... support admitted homosexuals serving in the military, up from 62 percent in early 2001 and 44 percent in 1993.
President ObamaIt now appears certain that our President will sign into law something affirming their right to so do.

Perhaps not relevant but I think it begs the question as to how attitudes relative to such a deep seated, emotionally charged issue can change so dramatically in such a relatively short period of time.

Regardless of this apparent change in attitude by the masses, our question has to do with what should be the deciding factors and who should decide whether those who are openly homosexual should be allowed to serve in the military.

One of our choices isn't a choice at all ... rather a choice rejection ... "the question is simply too important, complex ... and evokes such strong emotion for it to be decided in the political arena where private agenda and political advantage heavily influence decisions" ...

Here's the big question ... what should control the decision as to whether homosexuals should be allowed to serve in the military?
As most always, please let us know of any others that you think really belong on the list of choices ... and why!
