key word is "potential" By that logic we ought to expell married folks from the military since they represent a "potential" security risk, given the high percentage of those who are married that engage in adulterous affairs?
If these people kept their sexual preferences to themselves during their time in the military, and they performed their duties admirably, then I have no problem with them, in fact I offer them my thanks for choosing to put their lives on the line to defend my freedom.

and if left to nature they would naturally be extinct. I'd argue that nature has created gays. I'd argue that it is a genetic predisposition.

Creepy
The military is not immune from infection. It is better to cut the cancer out than watch the body die.

You have equated so-called "homosexual orientation" (to use the common term) with being homosexual. The two are not the same. You probably know more about the topic than I do. But I do know a guy who acknowledges that he is gay because of his inclinations, but is still a virgin (he's a devout Catholic) It is quite possible that these officers are in the same category. For some reason you are assuming that just because they are admitting to be gay they have performed sodomy.
Further, you are also assuming that they knew they were gay when they entered the military as teenagers. It is also possible that they neither we sure of their orientation nor acted upon it when they joined.

I'd argue that it is a genetic predisposition. Great! Let's find the gene and start working on the cure!

Your stretching it waaaaay to much for this forum. You need to start defining your own terms. Wait...I'll give you one..."pseudo-sodomite" --
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, and Old French sodomie, from
Late Latin Sodoma Sodom; from the homosexual proclivities
of the men of the city in Gen 19:1-11 Date: 13th century
1 : apparently rather than actually having copulation with a member of the same sex or with an animal
2 : apparently rather than actually having noncoital and especially anal or oral copulation with a member of the opposite sex
You're funny. LOL.
To: Chief Inspector
Would you limit marriage to couples? Or would you extend it to any number of humans?

"Rear Admiral" LOL Rear Admiral on the poop deck!

It is true that marriage laws allow for "hetero couples who can't produce naturally." These same laws prohibit fathers from marrying their own daughters and women from marrying their own sons irrespective of whether they can reproduce or not. Do you agree with these laws, or should they be thrown on the trash heap of outmoded conventions, too?
To: I got the rope
Hmmm. I'd guess that your "pseudo-sodomy" would not be a violation of the USMCJ.
To: Chief Inspector
How about bisexuals? Should a bisexual be allowed to carry on in two marriages simultaneously: with a person of each sex?
To: Chief Inspector
I'll check back for your answers after you have replaced the blown fuse in the common sense panel of your brain.
To: Lucky Dog
"You are correct, sodomy in the UCMJ is not just homosexuality"
How many heteros, married or otherwise, do you suppose have been court-martialed for oral sodomy?
How many heteros, married or otherwise, do you suppose have perfomed oral sodomy?

I cracked-up when I read your post!
Please, folks, get a sense of humor.
To: rogator
How many heteros, married or otherwise, do you suppose have been court-martialed for oral sodomy?There have been many, probably a dozen or so a year across all branches of military service.
You are unlikely to find oral sodomy charged alone--whether homosexual or heterosexual. It will generally be an add-on offense to a charge of adultery or conduct unbecoming an officer. But yes, it is prosecuted. At least it was when I was in the military.

More like 1% of the population.........but they don't want you to know that.
I damned near had to process one out, myself. A co-pilot of mine. The crew (I 'inherited' this crew) insisted he was gay; tried to give me anecdotal evidence of it to add to his........shall we say.........flamboyant demeanor. I refused to hear it. Looking back, I think I just flat didn't want to deal with it as a young aircraft commander.
