Homosexuals Case

Abused, slandered, mistreated and in extreme cases, murder. All of these things are how some homosexuals get treated by other soldiers in the military.

Many people also claim that gays "weaken" our military because they are too busy distracted on the other soldier rather than their duties. This is a statement that is completely made up. In fact, it has been proven through
