Because the Pentagon has nothing better to do these days, the military brain trust has been spending a lot of time thinking about homos. The great minds of the military have decided gays aren't suffering from mental disorders anymore. But, they still think homosexuality is a defective condition:
Pentagon guidelines that classified homosexuality as a mental disorder now put it among a list of conditions or "circumstances" that range from bed-wetting to fear of flying.So, now where does your nation's military rate homosexuality? It's lumped in with these conditions:
The new rules are related to the military's retirement practices. The change does not affect the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that prohibits officials from inquiring about the sex lives of service members and requires discharges of those who openly acknowledge being gay.
The revision came in response to criticism this year when it was discovered that the guidelines listed homosexuality alongside mental retardation and personality disorders.
Among the conditions are stammering or stuttering, dyslexia, sleepwalking, motion sickness, obesity, insect venom allergies and homosexuality.You can't make this stuff up. Note to the military: All the branches are chock full of gays and lesbians. They do the job. You need them. Our country needs them.
And, here's an idea: Spend less time obsessing about gays and try to figure out how to prevail in Afghanistan and Iraq.
