Non-Issue to me. If someone wants to put their life on line for our country I don't care who they sleep with. stoogedude I agree! Non-Issue to me.

And so what if they do get aroused? Does this mean that the gay soldiers are going to rape the straight ones? What about the closeted gays who serve? They seem to get through things okay. I too have not been in the military, but I think it's as un-American as could be to deny gays the opportunity to fight for this country because a few straight guys might find it uncomfortable. They spend their military careers getting shot at or training for the event that they get shot at. They deal in "uncomfortable" day in and day out.

Especially while watching them dress, undress, shower sh&t & shave? I don't ask this in a smart ass fashion at all. Honestly, if a heterosexual man is showering with 10 or 20 naked women, wouldn't you think he'd have a hard time (no pun intended) not becoming aroused? It just seems to me it makes for an awkward situation to say the least. And I have no idea what the solution, as someone famous once said, that's way above my paygrade.
