I find the assumption by straight men that just because they are men, they are going to be objects of desire by their gay colleagues....to be hilarious.

The close-quarters service in the military makes the prospect of open homosexuals serving with, sleeping with, showering with those to whom they are sexually attracted – in an unnatural way – even more ‘icky.’ The whole disgusting nature of it will likely turn off many Americans.
“Many Americans who now are quiet supporters of the military, including its funding, will simply no longer carry with on that support.
