I'm sure the same was said by the WW1 Vet's of the soldiers in WW2, WW2 Vets of Korea/Vietnam Vets, ect. I would caution you though, we have an all volunteer military who continues to volunteer and re-enlist OVER and OVER knowing they'll be doing what...3+ tours in Iraq with a years vacation in Afghanistan. These kids are doing more, for longer with the understanding it isn't going to end soon...and it didn't take a draft card to get them there.
Finally, homo's have been in the militaries through out history...what makes you think today is any different then WW2????
