We were to busy training, training and more training and then drinking, fighting and chasing tail (when we weren't training). Point being, us straight people didn't walk around strutting our straightness....I think if gays are allowed to serve openly it takes away from the professional attitude of the unit and Military.
Sexual orientation is not related to the mission at hand in any way. While I think "Don't ask Don't tell" is a good policy, but if they do decide to overturn it, they should not make a huge deal about it, the gays shouldn't flaunt it and things should remain unspoken.

Worm, you completely contradict yourself in your own post. First you mention, "when we weren't training we were chasing tail", then you go on saying, "straight people don't go around strutting their straightness"... Ummm, you just proved you did.
And so you're probably thinking, "Uh no we weren't" but look at it this way, were you able to talk about your girlfriend? Did you ever talk about a girl to your unit? Did anyone ever show pictures of their family? There you go. That is you 'strutting your straightness'. The only thing is, you won't be kicked out for showing a bit of your life, a gay person will.
And your statement about allowing gays to serve makes them unprofessional, then I say fine. It shouldn't be professional to treat people as lesser humans. So grow up and be a man and face things, not hide them in a closet.
