Those two things can never be totally separated because no one will leave their beliefs out of topics such as this one ...
Newsflash:

They are separated.

Have been since the founding fathers wrote the constitution.

If you can't keep them separated, perhaps you should refrain from political debates. It makes it sound like you don't understand what's being discussed.....[/b]

This country was founded on freeedom. Not on forcing our values on others. That's what Bible-toters like you fail to grasp.

Those who join the Military give up certain rights for the good of the organization.

Specifically, their freedoms are significantly curtailed in the first amendment. (try telling your commander to "fuck off" sometime)

Things that would just get you fired or reprimanded in the civilian world will get you thrown in jail in the Army. The military has regulations and their own laws for good reasons.

War is a crazy enough place without everybody needing to throw their sexuality into the mix.....

Hey JerseyDevi1

Just out of curiosity, have you ever served?

Because if some of you hypocrytes would put down your Bibles long enough to fight in the war you love so much, maybe it could finally end.

I think it's hilarious that the biggest Bible-thumpers advocate all this killing when Jesus was anti-war. So perhaps it's time to start reading it (the Bible) instead of using it as a political weapon.
