“The private, legal sexual conduct of military personnel off duty and off base, whether homosexual or heterosexual, should not be of interest to the Pentagon leadership. The bottom line is that an individual’s performance in uniform is what should count. Sexual contact on base is already governed by the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) - the judicial code that all military personnel are subject to”

Retain Mike,

Your representative must be something else...Here's few points that came to my mind (and probably yours also): 1) No distinction is made with regards to on or off base or on or off duty sexual conduct by the UCMJ. A military member is never really "off duty". 2) It's more than just the individual member's performance, their impact on the team is also of vital concern. 3)To help enforce the UCMJ and other rules, men's and women's quarters are segregated. Considering 14th Amendment equal protection rights, how can your representative not contemplate providing similar protection against sexual misconduct by members of the same sex? 4) Maybe your congress "person" might want to also discuss the rates of sexual misconduct by homosexuals versus heterosexuals.

Sadly, it's very clear your congress critter has, at best, a limited understanding of the UMCJ, does not care about the welfare of other service members and/or has no idea what he's doing.

What of “blood contact” in battle. I suppose this reality is of no concern for the stupid PC politicians?
