European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - January 24, 1993, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Be our guest want an argument against Gays in the military aids William Corbett that s it. Gays arc in these Days especially in the military. President Clinton is or tiring the Pentagon to Stop asking recruits about their sex jul orientation. No More bouncing Gays from the ranks. Rep. Namcy Frank the Gay Massachusetts Democrat met with the new administration and announced Quot immediately the policy of kicking people out of the military because they re Gay will be  while f Fousch press Secretary Dee Dee Myers said thursday Quot tire president has said he will end discrimination against Gays in the military and Well announce the policy on that within a week Quot Wake up americans. You Are being rushed into accepting a potentially harmful action without discussion of the future Impact say in Loy curs on the military. Discussions concerning the merits of legalizing Gay military service could Start with a simple question should a restriction that has been challenged but upheld in Federal courts for the past 20 years and has the support of an overwhelming majority of military professionals be written off to fulfil the Campaign Promise of a politician no disrespect to president Clinton but so obvious was his Campaign solicitation of votes from various groups like the Gay Community that Potof Clinton a democratic colleagues tilled him Quot pander  his Promise to permit Gays in he military won candidate Clinton an estimated s3 million in Gay As social cd Campaign contributions and 89 percent 7 million of the homosexual vote Dut the Issue at hand is neither politics nor social Justice the Issue is National Security. Gay advocates Quot equal rights at any costs Quot patrons und most pundits Tell us that permitting Gays in Tho opening laugh Chic London Quot to you Daft old tool he a your fourth dog. I m your third  military is the morally proper thing to do from a civil rights aspect they May he right but notice none of the advocates discuss Ping term effects on the military. T he most serious Long term danger of removing the Gay ban is aids. Rid of indignant and emotional denials the male homosexual my bisexual communities Are primarily responsible for the spread of aids. This is because the act of sodomy is the prime mover of his and male homosexuals Are proven to be by an enormous measure the most promiscuous sexual group. In a recent column William Buckley informs that a 1978 study Quot reports that 43 percent of the homosexual men surveyed estimated that they had sex with 500 or More partners 28 percent with 1,000 or More partners. .,79 percent of the White male to mos Xua surveyed said that More than half of their partners were strangers 70 percent said that More than half of their sexual partners were men with whom they had sex Only  gentle readers that is world class promiscuity in comparison with Oil sexual groups Buckley continues according to Quot. A recent University of clip Cago Survey whose findings arc hat of the . Population As a whole the estimated number of sexual partners since age 18 is 7.15 8.67 for those never married Quot i submit that 1,000, is. Eight sexual partners in a lifetime represents More than simply an Quot alternative Quot lifestyle. This magnitude of sexual promiscuity by the most prominent carriers of his introduced into Environ mints of forced cohabitation extended periods of Field exercises and duly at sea it is no coincidence that the Navy reports half of the in service his positive cases could cause an aids epidemic in the military. Gay liberation supporters soothingly assure us that aids is not a Factor because his positive military personnel Are not allowed to serve. However Gay liberation groups like the aids action Council aids coalition to unleash Power queer nation und people with aids coalition arc already denouncing his testing in the military As Quot exclusionary discriminatory and financially imprudent Quot and demanding immediate termination of military pre induction and in service testing for his the military not testing for his is Akin to putting Cooks in the mess halt without testing for typhoid. The first step of legalizing Gays in the military is like letting the camels head in the tent. You will soon Host the entire beast. Following legalization military Gays led to their assertive civilian friends will mount a concerted Campaign to secure their future after having military pre induction and i service his testing eliminated an chanting Quot equal individual and group rights for All Quot the demand will be that his positive military personnel continue full Imrch strict cd duty in All Fields with full pay and benefits. After development of full blown aids the demand will be that such personnel be assigned duties consistent with their medical condition still with full pay and benefits until the end. Such Quot Sims to death Quot benefits will prompt homosexuals especially those already in v positive to select the military As the profession of  Legal argument supporting homosexuals Quot entitlement a to serve in the military is based on the con tuntion that military service and civilian employment arc the same. Therefore Laws protecting Gays seeking civilian employment also apply togas seeking military service. That argument is false for the right to serve military personnel sacrifice Many constitutionally guaranteed individual and group rights enjoyed by civilian workers. That is Why there is a separate uniform code of military Justice that legally governs military life. Military service is not a constitutional right hundreds of thousands of citizens because of height weight and other physiological and psychological conditions arc denied the Opportunity to serve in the military. President Clinton a Post election remarks about Quot going slow and Quot studying in detail Quot the Impact of removing the ban on Gay military service show he knows the magnitude of the problem. Run Clingon his Promise to remove the ban would present the president with a read my lips Type goof. But lifting the ban without conditions acceptable to most and which fail to preserve the viability of the armed forces could spawn results that haunt the president in 1996. Rhc ban on homosexual military service has existed for 49 years Why not spend a few More months to study and be absolutely sure of our actions William Corbett Uvea in Len  Germany Send in your column plus a photo of yourself to go our guest sunday Magazine the stars and stripes Apo 09211 or Postrach 11 14 37, d-6100 Darmstadt 11, Germany.
