Obama Ends The Ban On Gays In The Military

[Lady's Human]

do you really think the US military personel are that full of bigotry? Because I have know tons of them and none of the ones I have ever met, lived on the base with(American soldiers did come to our bases at times for training coarses), and talked to never felt this way. They didn't care actually.

Of course they did, and I'm also completely certain that that question was first and foremost in your mind when talking to foreign troops.

You have no idea about the amount of briefings US soldiers go through when going to a foreign country about proper contact with foreign nationals, what to say, what not to say, etc. I've been to Canadian bases for training a few times. You know how much contact we had and time to mingle with the locals we had? No contact except for the occasional chow trip or pogey bait run.We were out in the bush for all but three days out of the three weeks we were in CFB Gagetown, and that's the norm for US Army units training on foreign bases.

As an aside, to be completely consistent, it's PRESIDENT Obama, or Pres. Obama, etc.

It's really grating when people don't use the proper address for someone, regardless of your opinion of the individual.
