Maybe I didn’t explain myself thoroughly. I’m not trying to infer that a real man can’t be gay or non-military. My point is that if you are living in the United States and enjoy its freedoms, a real man (or woman) should be willing to fight to protect those freedoms. Eric was insinuating that in the event of a draft, he could lie and say he was gay to get out of it. In my opinion, if you are not willing to answer the call for your country, you should be living somewhere else. In addition, the ‘slaughter of innocents to get one man’ is NOT the case here. This isn’t a campaign against bin Laden only, it’s a campaign against terrorism, which has a much larger reach than just one man. I couldn’t care less if a soldier is gay, straight, white, black or whatever. If they are willing to fight for the freedom that I enjoy living in the United States, they should be thanked regardless.
