Don’t let the facts confuse you
The NY times has a very interesting story about homosexuals in the British army:
Since the British military began allowing homosexuals to serve in the armed forces in 2000, none of its fears — about harassment, discord, blackmail, bullying or an erosion of unit cohesion or military effectiveness — have come to pass, according to the Ministry of Defense, current and former members of the services and academics specializing in the military. The biggest news about the policy, they say, is that there is no news. It has for the most part become a nonissue.
This should be the end for the debate about homosexuals service in the army. However, preventing guys from serving openly was never rational and the expectation that rational and empirical facts will change it is more of a wishful thinking.
