It's nice to feel needed

As War Continues Gay Discharges Plummet

An advocacy group said nearly 800 gays and lesbians were discharged from the military last year -- a 17 percent decrease from 2002 and a 39 percent drop from 2001.

Steve Ralls of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network said the military is now willing to keep gays because of the demands of Iraq and Afghanistan.

I guess it's nice to be needed, but it would be even nicer if the military were willing to keep gay service members in peace time, when they don't need us to go to war to be killed.
