But, I'm not bothered at all by people's sexual orientations, so that colors my opinion on the issue.
Yeah, I think your opinions are pretty much the norm with the majority of people who will be recruited to be on active duty today, which is why I think the policy issue will resolve itself pretty soon.

Women still can't serve in combat roles, as far as I know, so it that may be an imperfect analogy, but I think the policies that apply for relationships could certainly address same sex relationship as well.

There may certainly still be a strong bias in the high ranks against openly homosexual soldiers serving, but as the next generation moves up. . .
