- Of course, then I suggest that we add adulturers, voyuers, swingers,
- nudists, nosepickers, and people who watch "Americas Funniest Home
- Videos" to the list banned from military service.

- Of course, the military currently ejects people who are PROUD of their
- orientation (some of the people kicked out recently were ejected because
- they either participated in "gay pride" parades or publicly acknowledged
- their homosexuality). So it is the one's who represent NO security risk
- who are being discharged.
