For example, recruits will no longer be turned down because they are gay.<\/p>\n<p>But others involving benefits, housing and the execution of the training program will be more complex.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, that doesn&#8217;t sound disruptive at all, does it?

I thought gays were just like us and they only wanted to be treated like the rest of us. Then why all of this drama to &#8220;train&#8221; people to tolerate people who claim they&#8217;ve been among us the whole time?<\/p>\n<p>I remember when the Army started training us on race relations (back in the late 70s) and the only thing their training did was infuriate everyone involved and made matters worse.
