| Message | I've explained my opposition to this multiple times, but I'll do it again. Small-unit morale and cohesion is the most important factor (outside of the pure logistical functions of supplies and modern weaponry) in a modern military. You cause unnecessary trouble by allowing open homosexuality. If gay men want to serve, just have them keep it quiet while they are there. |

| Message | The Patriot stance raises clear human rights issues; isn't it obvious that forcing members of the military to hide their loved ones from their collegues in order to keep their jobs will damage unit cohesiveness? |
