Message | I suggest, to alleviate the concerns of the DUP, that non-heterosexual servicemen and servicewomen are formed into segregated units, on the off-chance that the military is as homophobic as factions in the government. |

Message | Placing them in non-combat roles allows others to be placed in combat roles. A good compromise. |

Message | Women in segregated units, or non-battle positions? |
Date | 15:24:45, January 11, 2006 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the NPH wants to reform our military |
Message | Non-battle, since segregated units can still be combat positions. With women and non-heterosexual men filling all non-combat positions, we can put all the heterosexual men in combat positions. |
