[beam] woooo hoooo!!!
This is good for several reasons, the least of which is that it will save the military lots of money. It costs a bundle to train a civilian to be a soldier. Add to that, x 13,500, the cost of occupation training.
Slowly but surely the wheels of progress turn*

This is total insanity. WHO CARES IF A SOLDIER IS GAY? If a person can make it through the training and become a competent soldier his/her sexual preferences should not even be disclosed at anytime. It should never come up.
