Open Gays in military - how has it worked out?

[Continu0]

Just can tell you my experience:

I had one gay-guy during my service in the swiss military music. It worked out fine, altough he never had an "official" coming-out, many (including the commander) knew and respected him (he was one of the best friends I had during that time btw.).

As the swiss military-music is a special buch with many students and other open-minded people, I would say that this is an exception. I don´t know how it would have worked out at the "front-line", but i am almost shure he would have had more problems in another function...
