No gay-bashers in foxholes, columnist says
Maybe gay soldiers "aren't as bad for our military as some of our military leaders would have us believe," writes Clarence Page, commenting on the lower discharge rates of gay and lesbian soldiers during military actions such as the one in Iraq. "Why the sharp decline? Has war brought a sudden wave of tolerance to our troops and their commanders? One wonders. There are no bigots in foxholes, according to an old time-tested nugget of combat wisdom. Judging by recent military personnel figures, there aren't many 'gay-bashers' in foxholes, either," says Page.
