Because they would try to have sex with fellow soldiers.

Because America sucks

because the gay virus lives in the blood and when a gay soldier is shot dead, the virus is released airborne and transmitted to others around him

because terrists hate our freedom usa #1 nevr 4get

Discharge = sexual innuendo

Because only middle to upper class white anglo-saxon heterosexual protestants that own land can be considered American.

So far only troll responses, whoo 4chan!

Because they have no souls.

Because most straight men would feel uncomfortable sharing their quarters with someone after their ass-virginity?

Because Christianity.

Only troll responses because there is no actual valid answer/argument against gays in the military.

Because they're disloyal to God and therefore haven't earned the right to serve His flock.

Because an army of soldiers constantly having sex with each other would be pretty inefficient.

Because the moment that happens just fucking imagine the influx of "BASED ON TRUE STORY" movies about two guys in the army that fall in love and one of them dies and the other one dies of aids and then when that stops being controversial there will be films about entire gay platoons holding orgies on the battle front, then films about orgies with foreigners then some fucking dreamworks movie about a fucking marine dog who falls in love with an Afghani mule and they fuck and have adventures with a comic relieving old Alzheimer patient taliban fighter who keeps forgetting where he put his fucking IEDs and in the end the dog want to stay in Afghanistan but the mule is like "no go home u don't belong here" and then all the faggots in the theatre cry ALL BECAUSE OF YOU OP, FUCK YOU.

>>5889257
Believe it or not. Not all gay men want to fuck every single guy in the world. Most fags I know are much pickier than straight guys when it comes to finding someone worthy of putting their penis in.

>>5889281
gay people shouldn't be allowed to fight because they'll get all weepy when they see their fuckbuddy shot through the face

15% percent of gay adults have served in the US military.

I think faggots have a higher standards when it comes to searching for partners and wouldn't go for the first hick in the marines.

Most fags I know are much pickier than straight guys when it comes to finding someone accepting of putting their penis in.

FIX'D

Romans believed that if a male couple were in the same platoon, regime or whatever the division in those times was, they would fight with more passion in order to impress his loved one.

Only when christianity entered to power, SHIT GOT DOWN SON.

>>5889279
l'm... l'm actuaIIy alright with this.

Because we took one look at Britain and the other countries that let homosexuals serve openly in the military and saw that they weren't falling into ruin so we said, "We don't want that."

That was Greece. You're talking about the Theban Sacred Band which was destroyed by Alexander the Great and Philip II in the 4th century BCE. Rome was a podunk town that nobody gave two shits about at that time.

Because there's still a lot of retrograde fucks in the world.

>>5889279
U mad?

SOMEONE POST SOME TOM OF FINLAND PLZ. KTHXBAI.

>>5889257
I think its not some, but ALL. Im fine with my friend or someone i know being gay but im not fucking sleeping in the same room as that deviant.

why can't faggots be tolerant of my homophobia? serious question?

>>5889347
The roman empire transferred 99% of the greek's culture into theirs.

Because a soldier should be focused on their training and the missions they undertake, not which of his squad mates he'd want to play hide the sausage with.

>>5889408
Then why are women allowed to join?

>>5889418
Because of the equality movement and lawsuits.

>The Sacred Band of Thebes was a troop of picked soldiers, consisting of 150 age-structured couples, which formed the elite force of the Theban army in the 4th century BC.

>Plutarch records that the Sacred Band was made up of male couples, the rationale being that lovers could fight more fiercely and cohesively than strangers with no ardent bonds. According to Plutarch's Life of Pelopidas[2], the inspiration for the Band's formation came from Plato's Symposium, wherein the character Phaedrus remarks,
>"And if there were only some way of contriving that a state or an army should be made up of lovers and their loves, they would be the very best governors of their own city, abstaining from all dishonour, and emulating one another in honour; and when fighting at each other's side, although a mere handful, they would overcome the world. For what lover would not choose rather to be seen by all mankind than by his beloved, either when abandoning his post or throwing away his arms? He would be ready to die a thousand deaths rather than endure this. Or who would desert his beloved or fail him in the hour of danger?"

>The Sacred Band originally was formed of picked men in couples, each lover and beloved selected from the ranks of the existing Theban citizen-army. The pairs consisted of the older "heniochoi", or charioteers, and the younger "paraibatai", or companions, who were all housed and trained at the city's expense.[4] During their early engagements, in an attempt to bolster general morale, they were dispersed by Gorgidas throughout the front ranks of the Theban army.

Not that high. They certainly admired Greece, but the Etruscan influence is undeniable. Not only that it depends at what point in time you're talking about. Remember, the Western Empire lasted over 1000 years. Augustus for example punished men and families who did not have children or enough children with his Lex Julia. Not only that there was the social construct to consider. A freedman penetrating another freedman was seen as humiliating to the receiver. Penetrating a slave or a barbarian was seen as acceptable. Homosexuality in Rome is a complicated issue. You wouldn't see two 50 year-old middle class men living together in Ancient Rome.

>>5889392
Roman culture was more based on that of the Etruscans.

This wouldn't be a problem if their parents were more vigilant when they were kids.

>>5889448
>>5889450
I never thought I would see a eutruscan mind of all things.

>>5889450

Sup classics buddy? Wanna discuss Villanovan culture over a game of kottabos?

>>5889476
This thread is not about your shitty ancient shit, it's about fags dying.

>>5889448
Exactly how many 50-year-old men capable of participating in a relationship would you see in ancient Rome in the first place?

>>5889464
I really think that homosexuality is all in the parenting.

>>5889447
what about jealousy? Wouldn't they have to be some big army couple where everyone is married to each other?

>>5889529

Quite a few, actually. For the upper class they could live quite long. Even in Greece it is said that Aeschylus the great playwright lived into his 90s. Augustus lived to be at least 80, and it's speculated he was poisoned. His wife Livia lived even longer, and Cato the Elder lived to 83 or so. So if you weren't murdered or killed in battle or caught in a plague and you were rich enough you could live into your 60s easily.

>After the Theban general Pelopidas recaptured the acropolis of Thebes in 379 BC, he assumed command of the Sacred Band, in which he fought alongside his good friend Epaminondas. It was Pelopidas who formed these couples into a distinct unit: he "never separated or scattered them, but would stand [them with himself in] the brunt of battle, using them as one body."[5] They became, in effect, the "crack" force of Greek soldiery[6], and the forty years of their known existence (378-338 BC) marked the pre-eminence of Thebes as a military and political power in late-classical Greece.

>The Sacred Band under Pelopidas fought the Spartans[7] at Tegyra in 375 BC, vanquishing an army that was at least three times its size. It was also responsible for the victory at Leuctra in 371 BC, called by Pausanias the most decisive battle ever fought by Greeks against Greeks. Leuctra established Theban independence from Spartan rule and laid the groundwork for the expansion of Theban power, but possibly also for Philip II's eventual victory.

>Defeat came at the Battle of Chaeronea (338 BC), the decisive contest in which Philip II of Macedon, with his son Alexander, extinguished the Theban hegemony. Alexander became the first to break through the Band's line,[8] which had thitherto been thought invincible. The traditional hoplite infantry was no match for the novel long-speared Macedonian phalanx: the Theban army and its allies broke and fled, but the Sacred Band, although surrounded and overwhelmed, refused to surrender. It held its ground and fell where it stood. Plutarch records that Philip II, on encountering the corpses "heaped one upon another", understanding who they were, exclaimed,
> "Perish any man who suspects that these men either did or suffered anything unseemly."

>>5889530
Clearly. Our modern society has an elegant, simple solution for the problem of homosexuality: if you expect that your son is showing signs of abnormal affection for other boys, or you spot abnormal behavior, you simply send them off to some camp with higher suicide rates than conversion rates.

You cannot be blamed - after all, you're simply doing your duty as a parent - and the child does not grow up to become a gay Vietnam veteran or anything like that. Problem solved!

They are, they're just expected to be professional soldiers like everyone else and not allow their sexuality to dictate their actions.

Nothing wrong with being gay, but our purpose is to fight and win wars, not to be unique individuals. If you don't contribute to that mission, then you're not welcome among us.

>>5889570
>on encountering the corpses "heaped one upon another"
lol

>>5889570
So what you are saying is that the sequel to 300 is going to feature a bunch of gay couples defeating the descendants of the Spartans in the first movie?
