Man do I ever love the military

In every single other occupation in the country (with the exception of the Boy Scouts and the church) someone could sue your ass blind if you fired them for being gay. Yet the military is allowed to discriminate freely. And forget for a second that these people were good enough for enlistment (which isn't true of a lot of people)...the fact that they're kicking them out based on sexual preference makes the military look soooooo childish that it's almost troubling.

It's set on rules and standards.. change the standards and you won't have a problem. To tell you the truth, the majority of the military doesn't care. It's the guy up top who enforces the standard set upon him. Why can't I have a piercing while in uniform? Because that's the standard. No rhyme or reason. Why can't my sideburns be lower than my ear? Because that's the standard. The military can discriminate because they deal with things a little more important and more valuable than most.
