Is it just me, or have conservative values reached a new low again?

Seriously, it would have damaged this guy's reputation less and angered less of Europe if he just said that he doesn't like gays.

The strongest most successful fighting unit the ancient Greek Army had was a division called the Band of Thebes made up entirely of Homosexuals. Look it up. Its fact. Gay soldiers have been fighting and dying for their countries for decades and this is the kind of respect they get? They deserve your thanks not your insults.

@rbjnla Not correct. The ancient Greek term was wrongly translated it meant friends. And some homosexual scholars most of them British in the 18-19 centuries made ancient Greece looks like a huge homosexual army camp. It was not. In fact there were strong anti-homosexual laws

Only an American would say that some gay people caused a massacre. It would have been suicide had they tried to stop it. They would only make the number of deaths higher. As a Dutch person this just increases my anger towards the US.

@Chcard310

i'll take that as a "yes, homosexuals are more prone to make poor choices in the frontlines than heterosexuals"

@sabin97

He says that you should not put gays on the frontlines for the same reasons you wouldnt want men and women on the frontlines together.

“About 1 o’clock in the morning, a fight broke out in a bunker because [a] young Marine was being molested by his squad leader. To the right of that fox hole there was a machine gun section that opened up and almost killed the combat patrol that was out in the front.”

He also gave this example. Is it worth risking others lives?

@Chcard310

"And his real stand is that gays should not be on the frontlines, but they are just as capable of serving."

so which is it, are they or arent they just as capable of serving?(that includes the frontlines).

" All it takes is for one person to make a poor choice to cost someone their life."

are you implying homosexuals are more prone to make poor choices than heterosexuals?

just curious...

[Chcard310]

@ch1aka2 at least he doesn't think the same of you, oh and he fought for your right for you to be able to say that. but yeah, your opinion definitely adds to this discussion

[Chcard310]

He doesnt hate gays. If you look at the full interview, he defends his point, and he is noth the first one to say it, he is repeating what others have repoted about the incident. It wasnt his idea. And his real stand is that gays should not be on the frontlines, but they are just as capable of serving. All it takes is for one person to make a poor choice to cost someone their life.
