OK.  So if you disagree w/ the policy, the DoD still has to listen to its paymaster.  Lobby Congress to have DoD change their entry requirements and continuance requirements to how you want it to be.  Questioning the policy w/out first finding out what the rest of the 1, 494, 000 other military members have to say about it is just more leftist tampering.  If it aint broke, don't fix it.  It is not the military's job to make people feel wanted & loved, unmarginalized, and "special".  The left is all about not creating hostile work environments.  By forcing this issue, what other "special needs" people will be forced into the military?  Pedophiles? Beastialites (or whatever you call them)?  

The most convincing argument I have for myself, if you want my opinion, is that out at the pointy tip of the spear, we all are our own blood bank.  HIV is more prevalent in homosexuals and needle users.  More trans people use needle drugs.  That's just the data.  I didn't make it.  I don't want HIV.
