If I am correct I think I read an article last week on the British Navy openly recruiting gays. Keep your eyes on the British Navy and you will see that money to replace open homosexuals is money well spent.
It's always amusing when people point to the professional, but culturally and militarily insignificant forces of Norway, Denmark or Canada as a model for the USA. Or for that matter, what's left of the Royal Navy. They're lucky that the Argies tried it on two dozen years ago, because todays British forces couldn't retake the Falklands from Argentina.
Of course an irrelevant force can welcome gays. Who better for a military service that's basically just for show? They've always been boffo in show business.
