A very sad day for our military. DOD was not the place to take the gay rights battle to right now. It's unfortunate for both the gays and the straight as this will likely add unneeded stress for both sides during a time when our military is being asked to accomplish an extremely difficult mission. Since gays will now be able to openly serve, and shower with a battalion full of straight men getting themselves turned on, hopefully this means the straight men will get to shower with the woman very soon!
