    Bollox.

    Gay soldiers have showered with straight soldiers for decades. There haven't been a problem yet, there's no reason why there should be one now.

    As has been said, have a little faith in your soldiers mental capacity.

    Replace "gay" with "black" and that would have been gospel about 50 years ago.

    As HoreTore states, those that are gay are still gay. Nothing has changed.

    He's a Yank dragging around some outdated cultural mores, give him some time.

    And it took almost 10 years for full integration to happen.

    Oh, at least as long as there have been showers, so a century or so. And gay soldiers bathed with straight soldiers for a few millennia before that.

    Beside which, have you ever seen how fit young gay dudes are? We should be recruiting them, not kicking them out. Them boys are buff.
