In the ancient Roman Empire, Roman soldiers were encouraged in their gay practices because it was believed that the gay comrades would fight ever more for each other and be better soldiers.
@CommanderUTube not true... at all. I believe they were executed for that. You're thinking of the Greeks- the Sacred Band of Thebes in particular- among others
If I learned my history lessons properly, it was after Emperor Constantine received the saving help of the Christian legions to reconquer Rome that Roman army discipline became more Christian. But if I am wrong, I stand to be corrected. I am no historian in the professional sense of the word.
Mitt Romney is drawing his party line on DADT, all I know is they better repeal it soon!
