Because it is totally relevant. There is no room for any soldier to fall in love with another one. Even if women were allowed and it was segregated, then everyone is going to bitch because the women are treated better or some fucking thing. If they let women into combat, then they are going to be stationed with with the men in combat, and that is an issue.
Let them bitch. Or, by that principle, should we not let girls go to school because the boys are complaining about the girls having better bathrooms? Or when they complain the girls have more lenient physical education requirements?
And like I said, not us for those reasons. You CANNOT fall in love with a woman and it would be a hazard in combat as far as I am concerned, and I am fairly certain I have more experience in it than you so don't fucking lecture me about what you feel it's like and what you feel will happen, because you're wrong. And Israel doesn't let women have combat arms positions. They WERE for a time, but then they realized that the men react much stronger to female casualties and it was disruptive and demoralizing. So no, the IDF does not let women in combat roles. China and Cuba... they would probably kill you if you fucked up at all.
You seem to have the notion that your experience and position in the army has granted you some omniscient power and knowledge about the military. I don't mean to demean the work you did, but you are wrong if you think you that grants you automatic knowledge. Just because I haven't been in the military doesn't mean I don't know about it. I'm not lecturing you, I'm presenting an argument. You have failed to address the part about China and Cuba with anything but a meaningless reply...have you actually noticed that what they are doing works, and that it's actually possible?
And at that time I believe it would become more of fight for desperation, where you won't be concerned because you're not fighting for a country anymore, you're fighting for your own wellbeing. And at that point I seriously doubt there would be much order left in society and the structural chain of the military would have broken down.
If any soldier is daydreaming about sexual intercourse when he (or she) should be focusing on combat, then that's really not the kind of person that should be in the military. Soldiers can be taught, trained, and discipline not to mess around with the other sex. I realize that sex drive can very well become a problem when you are out there so long, and will never go away completely, but again, it hasn't stopped other countries from integrating their armies successfully. I understand it's an obstacle, but in my opinion it's a shitty social norm that eventually can, and should be overcome.
Many people were upset with African Americans being allowed to use white facilities, because it would cause problems. Obviously, it did, it caused numerous social issues. It still does today. But depriving a minority or group of people because of other people's adverse social reactions...at least in my mind, is wrong.
