- Actually, Queers were allowed in the military if they were already
- there. They were blocked from promotion or further training, but they
- weren't kicked out.
-
- Now, however, they can apply and no one will ask if they're queer, and
- even if they did, it's illegal to hold it against them.
-
- I'm not so sure if I would use Canada as an example for your military
- leaders. We don't have the defensive capability to withstand a
- concerted effort by the New York City police force to take over our
- country. <grin>
