I have to write my paper on pro or cons the gays in the military policy. So far I have:
pros: the military needs everyone they can get
they shouldn't be judged by their sexual orientation
they should be allowed to serve their country and be patriotic

cons: could cause some ppl to not enlist because theyd be uncomfortable
if caught they get discharged(this is going with that policy clinton came up with)

i need some more ideas. everything i come up with goes back to one of these and I need them to be different from one another.

any ideas would be great! thanks

You should expand on the "Uncomfortable" part.
Like, people could refuse to enlist because they don't want to be associated with gays or because they realize that it's not comfortable to be jammed in a tiny ass shower with people who may be looking at them sexually.

And, conversely, it should be noted in your "pro" argument that anyone who's ever actually been in the military can tell you that you don't have time to take a proper shower, let alone be concerned about how sexually attractive others may be.  

Hope this helps a little, as I'd say you've got the major points pretty much covered.

I will either evade death or die in the attempt.

is this projection i'm sensing?

the topic was to have  objective replies, view both sides of the issue not affirm that cons outweigh pros in the sexual orientation of our troops...
