Might such feelings make a person a more passionate fighter? After all, I doubt most solders are thinking about God and Country in the heat of battle. More like, "that SOB shot my buddy!!" I know I for one would be more likely to take up arms for a lover than for a flag. <br /> <br /> Hints of Plato's Republic.<br /> <br /> Reed:<blockquote>If someone wants to set one of those bombs off in my town of Roanoke, that would be A-OK.</blockquote>Wow, <i>another</i> Roanoke person?<br /> <br /> I wonder what led them to believe that if solders were sexually attracted to each other it would make them less interested in fighting.

I can only imagine what they brainstorm about at the pentagon. I wonder what would happen to the soldiers that were already gay? I heard about this on NPR’s “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” this saturday.

The only way it would work is if you have the enemy fall in love with your troops. And even then you'd have a Bobbit or two, just lying in a jelous wait. :) @rainbows:
