RE: My heart sank while perusing the USMA.edu page..

RE: My heart sank while perusing the USMA.edu page.. 

I agree that DADT was the best policy. I believe with the new policy there will be gays likely killed in the military for their sexual orientation as there already have been some with DADT. Don't want that to happen but I know it's going to; just watch. The good thing about DADT was that you didn't really know who was gay, you might have suspected someone was but you didn't really know for sure. That policy was good for both parties concerned.

I also agree the earlier writer who said that no one gives a damn what you do in bed when the bullets are flying. But it's when the bullets aren't flying (99 percent of the time) that worries me. Gays... and straights will die and not just in combat. Within a year of this policy taking affect there will be a couple of incidents of deaths because of the new policy.

There is another side to the violence issue.

I don't have time to research it but there are and have been assaults and murders committed by gay service members against straight service members.  I don't think that straight men raping gay men will be much of a problem. 

Then there is the issue of gay on gay violence.  It is worse then straight on straight violence.  It is just a fact.

From "What Cops Know" by Connie Fletcher.  P. 73 under Violent Crimes.  "As far as passionate crimes, jeez, the homosexuals are the ones that come to mind for really throwing themselves into their work, so to speak.  You generally find the most ferocious crimes are homosexual."

What's your point here? The first article is almost a year old. Are we going to pretend that there's never been a heterosexual murder/suicide?

As for the second one, I really hope you're not trying to imply anything here. Two Navy pilot roommates were killed along with the sister of one of the pilots and an unidentified male. What's your point in mentioning this tragedy on a thread talking about DADT repeal?
"Well that's just like, um, your opinion man."
