That is sort of like when a service member loses their life people will say "we thank them for their service". Do they still say that if they are gay?

Today, they do not have to answer your question since only heterosexuals can die in our fighting forces. You do bring up a valid reason why DADT is still in effect since it removes that uncomfortable question.

Not pointed at anyone.
This issue is deeper than just say.
1 - Can gays fight or run <-- Not an issue 2 - Are gays better soldiers <-- not an issue
Sexually <-- thats the issue, has nothing to with with battle field performance.
The last military poll taken from service members - in general they don't like having to shower with gays or sharing very close quarters, like a fox hole. Otherwise they don't care.

I've been hit on by gays. A simple explanation that I'm hetero is sufficient and there is no problem after that. Knowing whether or not someone is gay doesn't change my bathing habits.

Since it is the last military poll and so quite recent perhaps you could create a link to this poll?
Please do not tell me to google. All I get is youtubes of some dudes singing YMCA wearing CSI jackets.
