I recently spoke with the son of a friend who just returned from an FOB in Afghanistan. We discussed the repeal at length. Here is one of the problems he said would happen with gay soldiers deployed to Afghanistan: the bacha bazi problem. And a Wikileaks document confirms that the practice of homosexuality and pedophilia among Afghan police and military are quite a concern to U.S. and British soldiers as it seems to be the norm and not the exception. What will be the temtation when a gay soldier is offered a young boy by his Afghan counterparts as a sign of “friendship”?

There will be unintended consequences to the repeal. What then? What is Plan B if we see our recruitment numbers diminish and our military attrition rate increase? And if gay male soldiers now have the right to shower with heterosexual male soldiers in the name of “equality” what about allowing heterosexual soldier to shower with heterosexual female soldiers in the name of “equality”.

You MUST keep bringing this to the forefront, showing the problems that are going to come from the repeal of DADT. Not only where those gay soldiers dishonest when they enlisted, they now find themselves in a contract (enlistment) that they want to break because it no longer suits their agenda. There is NOT ONE soldier currently in the military that was not given the rules of Title 10;654 BEFORE they enlisted. There is NOT ONE soldier that wasn’t given the rules of Title 10:654 while in basic training.

But now the new motto for our military will be “You’re gay? You stay.” No more deciding that you are not cut out for military life, going to your C.O. and outing yourself and given an honorable discharge.

Look for the suicide rates in our military to increase (so says my friend who just returned from Afghanistan).
