Sounds like the opinion of someone who has never served in the military.
It is.
You know....?...I hate when the military says that the civilians should not interfere with/bother them. Because the Argentinian military wasn't separated enough from normal society to overtrow the democratic goverments 6 times in 36 years and kidnap, torture, murder, and make disappear 30000 people, 97.5% of them being civilians(*). Then we have to stand how the leaders of the 'Proceso' demand to be judged by fellow comrades that would release them or send them to very comfortable 'prisons' for only a couple of years.
(Also, they did a lot of things wrong in the political and economic fields. We are still suffering the consequences of those decisions.)
And I honestly don't dislike the military. The military is completely necessary, and I truly admire the ones who join. I just don't like the way some of the superior officers of our military seem to think.
~~Back on topic.
Maybe I should have added in my first posts that I really doubt that a 'flamingly' gay person would ever join the military and show it off to everyone there. My concern would go to those people who act no different than straight people, and would be discriminated just because they are homosexuals and they might have unapropiate conducts like trying to hit on a partner. If you see it like this, then also woman should be banned from the military because 'things can happen'. And what about lesbians? Should they be considered a better choice than straight woman because they won't be too friendly with male colleagues or they should be rejected for not being 'normal'?
I can understand why the military is completely against 'flamingly gay' behaviour but as long as the person keeps it for himself/herself, I can't see the problem.
You seem to be in the military, so maybe you can help me see it.
PS> No sarcasm in this post, and I do not mean to offend you. I am just trying to explain my point of view.

Some of them were part of the Montoneros guerrilla, true, but terrorism and torture is not the way to handle terrorism.
To let this clear, most of the Montoneros that were kidnapped were just what you can call 'useful idiots' or 'tools' for the bosses and their goals, and victims of all the mess that our country was at the time..... same with the poor young military applicants that were indoctrinated with disgusting fascist ideas and sucked into the 'Task Groups' aka kidnappers.
