That goes way beyond 'don't ask, don't tell'

Chicago Navy Veteran Angry Over Anti-Gay Comments

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Peter Pace, said homosexuality is immoral during an interview with the Chicago Tribune. Many gay groups have called for him to apologise, and he has dialed things back, insisting they were his own personal views and not military policy, but he's stopped short of apologising for the remark. In a time when the military is desperate for every soldier, sailor, airman, and marine, there's a lot of discussion of how out-of-step the military is with the general population over gay issues and how other 'civilised' countries allow their gays to serve their nation without stigma.
