How Will Allowing Gays to Openly Serve Effect Combat Readiness?

[Vladimir]

That it is not the world we live in today, in the same way that equality has beaten out of the British male the instinctive desire to protect women, that in its day would also have seriously undermined unit effectiveness, so what i am saying is bring on a Starship Troopers world where social hang-ups play second fiddle to ability.

If this is true than British soldiers have lost part of their humanity.

I belive it has more to do with male service members coming to appreciate the value a woman can add to a team...and the sex, of course.
