In other words how do the best mietiarils on earth approach this issue. The answer appears to be the Russians and the Israelis allow gays to serve openly in the military. The Chinese do not. The primary argument against gays serving in the military seems to be that things like "unit cohesiveness" and things of this nature would be adversely affected. In light of how two of the three best mietiarils on earth are approaching this issue, this argument does not appear to be valid.There is another thing that should be considered. From the time of its founding over two hundred years ago up until recent decades, America has been heavily influenced by the Judeo-Christian concepts found in the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Scriptures. A cursory review of these scriptures indicates that God does not look favorably upon same sex sexual behavior.When America adhered to these Judeo-Christian principles she was blessed by God. This made America unique among the nations of earth. Even special. As America has drifted away from these principles in recent decades, the country has begin to lose these blessings from God. This is something we might want to think about before we repeal DADT. Things like restrictions on homosexual behavior and support for Israel are vestiges of the nations Judeo-Christian heritage. As we continue to strip these things away, we will likely continue to lose the blessings from God that we have enjoyed. At one time this nation was unique, even special. Now not so much. , if you want to be the best, study the best. In other words how do the best mietiarils on earth approach this issue.
