Should gays be allowed in the army?

I'm all for equality but how do we know that gay soldiers won't just drop their weapons and run at the first sign of trouble like the gay Dutch soldiers in Bosnia?

Homosexuality is allowed in the Defence Forces. As for Srebrenica, I don't recall the heterosexual soldiers present figthting on while their gay brethren surrendered. Perhaps you have a different account of what happened?

There's a distinct smell of troll here, I wouldn't have bothered answered save for your question in the thread title.


Edit - I see you've already been flagged as such in the WW1 sub-forum.

This is an outrageous and homophobic post.

Perhaps you're forgetting that some of historys most brillian soliders have been homosexuals, eg Alexander the Great, Lawrence of Arabia, General Gordon etc.

+1 on the last two posts. In answer to your post, yes. The inevitable suggestion is now of course to sling your hook.

you are obviously taking the pisss. Gay soldiers are no different to straight soldiers when it comes to doing their job. Op, give us a shout when you arrive in the 21st century.
