If some man ran up to me and started demanding my surrender in a lisp, sure, scary, but I'd die from laughing first, "Uhhhm excuse me, sir, I'm going to have to ask you to put fown your scary guns, it's not right to shoot people, mmmkay, so let's put them down and all be friends, mmmmkay doll?" Hahahaha..... But seriosuly, simply for bunking reasons it's not okay.
Leaving aside the woefully scant outlook of world military history you just gave there (War of 1812, Korean War being a stalemate, Vietnam War and Somalia), not to mention a distinct lack of awareness of the participation of the New Zealand Army in a number of conflicts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zeland_Army), the US Armed Forces do allow LGBT servicemen and servicewomen contrary to your assertion, even if they are not permitted to reveal their sexuality ("Don't Ask, Don't Tell" anyone?). The rest of your post is merely baseless stereotyping which warrants no comment whatsoever. In any event, nothing you have stated above demonstrates detriment to the armed forces I mentioned based solely on their decision to permit LGBT servicemen and servicewomen. So if you have evidence, now is the time.

However bleak things seem, however insurmountable the darkness appears, remember that you have worth and nothing can take that away.
