Senator Jim Inhofe showed off his homophobia regarding homosexuality and the military in a radio interview with the American Family Association. The Senator, who served in the military from 1957 to 1958, believes that soldiers will not be willing to fight along side and die for openly gay and lesbian soldiers. Of course, a man who served in the military for one year and discharge five decades and two years ago knows what the mind set of the soldiers in the military today. Fifty-two years ago, the nation was far more homophobic and being found to be gay or lesbian and having engaged in any sexual act which would have qualified as sodomy would have resulted in not only a discharge, but a dishonorable discharge. Most American soldiers today are far from being as homophobic as Senator Inhofe is, or the military was at the time he served- fifty-two years ago. In point of fact, it is unlikely that the Senator regularly discusses the good old days of military service with the very young soldiers, and if he does, it is questionable that he even discusses this issue with them or that they would be willing to open up to someone who is incredibly homophobic.
