TOPIC: For the obvious reasons, official US military policy has never allowed males and females to shower together, sleep under the same roof or dress/undress in the same room. However, some individuals who are romantically and physically attracted to, and sexually stimulated by, people of the same sex are now requesting that the Commander in Chief allow them to openly share private facilities with people they are sexually attracted to.
QUESTION 1/10: Are you male or female?
QUESTION 2/10: Do you now or have your ever served in the US military?
QUESTION 3/10: Should the US military stop separating the sexes and allow males and females to occupy the same sleeping and personal facilities together?
QUESTION 4/10: If the CINC ends DADT (Don't Ask, Don't Tell) should all same-sex personnel continue to be required to share private quarters as is done now?
QUESTION 5/10: Asked differently, if the CINC ends DADT should separate personal facilities be established for military personnel who do not wish to share personal accommodations with individuals who are openly sexually attracted to them?
QUESTION 6/10: The current UCMJ (military Constitution) is worded along sexual lines regarding fraternization, favoritism, etc. Should the UCMJ be amended to allow punishment for those who make personal decisions based on their sexual preference? In others words, one UCMJ rule does not permit a male officer to favor or discriminate against a female subordinate. Should the UCMJ also explicitly allow punishment for an openly homosexual commander who favors or discriminates against a heterosexual subordinate?
QUESTION 7/10: Some homosexuals advocating for an end to DADT claim that combat efficiency will greatly improve if DADT was ended. Do you agree?
QUESTION 8/10: Some homosexuals advocating for an end to DADT claim that, unlike heterosexuals, homosexuals are uniquely capable of interacting with people they are sexually attracted to with no loss of efficiency and with zero sexual distraction. Do you agree?
QUESTION 9/10: Since 2001 some homosexuals who wanted to avoid serving (or re-serving) in combat have openly stated their sexual preference with full knowledge that they would be relieved of combat duty and discharged. If DADT is ended should the Department of Defense remove all conditions for people who are afraid to serve in combat from obtaining relief from combat duty or discharge?
QUESTION 10/10: Some heterosexuals argue that the only reason why homosexuals want to end DADT is because homosexuals want to openly enjoy sharing barracks, hootches, tents and other forced or compelled living spaces with same-sex people they find sexually attractive, including people who are not attracted to the same sex. Do you agree?
