| Message | You don't have to be straight to be in the military, you just have to shoot straight. And why should we deny 50% of our population the right to fight in the military and protect their nation? If we want more soldiers this is clearly not the way to go about it at all! Next you will probably propose a bill that women cannot work except in the home. Ridiculous! |

| Message | "If the SUN is so anti-homosexuality, why would they stop homosexuals from getting shot at in the military? It'd make more sense for them to be front-liners. I don't think discrimination should happen in the military by force. If someone feels disturbed being in the same squadron as a woman of homosexual, then they should have the option to leave and join a different squadron, but the government shouldn't force this." ~Ted Johnson, Head chairman of the LPS and Prime Minister |
