Condescending tone aside, i do believe that some of Ani reasonings are legitimate.

The way i see, there are two sets of reasoning concerning this issue. The first is Ani "don't stir the pot" mentality. The kind of thinking that it's ok that there are some wrongs with the world, just don't create more conflict than necessary trying to fix it. This is true to a certain extent seeing as how America is a nation founded on puritanism and still hold on to some of those outdated principles. Issue such as racism is decreasing with time since there's really no legitimate argument or document that support such views. The problem with religion however is more complex. Many American will sooner chop off their own hands than elect anything other than a Christian as President.

On the flip side, there question "does it really matter?" has to be ask. Like many in this thread mentioned before, how many soldiers would really care about their comrade sexuality when their lives are in constant danger? Things such as discrimination is a luxury one can afford when they are safe and sound. Another thing is that soldiers are trained to obey orders no matter what. It's not really up to them to choose who they work with. I don't believe a few examples from personal experiences should be used to sum up an entire group. It's entirely possible that you just happen to stumble on a few of the minority that share the same opinion. I do however believe that there will be an increase in friendly fire and insubordination from soldiers who have a problem with homosexuals.
