[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 737141, member: 12570"] Tie made an excellent point--this is a military policy and any changes to this should be initiated by the military, not by a civilian authority. Attitudes have changed and young people today are more tolerant but the fact remains that there are still and will always be those who are less than tolerant. I served from 1981-89. Would it have made a difference to me if the guy helping me refuel a plane was gay or not? No but I did have some fellow airmen to whom it would have made a huge difference. In my mind the policy exists for the safety of the person in question. Yes, we are asking that person to be less than honest with himself, but they knew what they were getting in to when they raised their right hands. Leave the policy alone. [/QUOTE]
