Having been in the army i have no problems with gays in the military. I have no problems with anyone in the military as long as you get the job done. I do understand the don't ask don't tell policy. If is for the safety of the individual and for the safety of the team. Most males in the army can't stand gay men. So you are protecting the individual cuz he would get hurt if people found out. You are protecting the team in battle cuz guys might be worried about the gay person instead of the enemy.
