Message | The move is a pragmatic one, because it is a sensible, matter of fact solution to a problem. Homosexuals should not have the right to serve in the military because they are not welcomed their by the others. If a military solider wants to fight why should he have to put up with a gay if he is religious? It makes no sense. Dennis York Shadow defence |

Message | We care only the those in the military perform their duties and prove loyal to the republic. We have no interest in their amoral preferences. Indeed, what better place for them to form lasting bonds than in the military. |

Message | By your very own (flawed) logical Mr York, why should an atheist homosexual be excluded from the military because of the preference of a religious heterosexual? It is for security compromising proposals like this that I explicitly excluded your party from the cabinet. What a distaster it would be for your party to ever gain the levers of power in our Federal Republic. |
