I had a homosexual medic attached to me (insert jokes here). He was one of the best medics I ever had (insert more jokes). I didn't know he was gay until he outed himself and left the military. When I found out I didn't really care (I'm not a homophobe). I've also deployed in an Infantry unit with female MP's attached. I will say they, for the most part, performed admirably but the problems we faced on the FOB really made me question if it was worth making the unit co-ed as we didn't perform any missions that really required them. I guess if a combat unit had multiple gays in it it could lead to the same type of problems we faced. The who's screwing who this week type BS. It can be, and was, distracting.
