No doubt, sexual orientation is in a different category than religious preference and my experience with gays in the military generally parallels what you have written.

With regard to the original post, we have been, are now and may always be at war with Muslim nations and as such we are perceived as a Zionist regime. Inevitably, our soldiers may be asked to fight against those Muslim nations and it is an absolute and irreconcilable conflict within the framework of their religion.

The requirement is very plainly stated, if you choose to join:

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So helpWith regard to the original post, is whether or not things like religious orientation have an impact on a soldier's ability to serve. No doubt, sexual orientation is in a different category than religious preference and my experience with gays in the military generally parallels what you have written.
