DADT de-thought out in Kansas City

I read Don’t ask, don’t tell: The way things ‘ought’ to be, or the way they ‘are’? by Grant Martin, an editorial in the local online edition of the Kansas City Star and it blew me away. Mr. Martin tries to deconstruct good reasons for repealing DADT with the statement:

“Unfortunately for sexual minorities, the majority of big, burly humans that perform well in combat are heterosexual males.
Thus, if the ugly reality is that heterosexual males are physiologically predetermined to perform admirably with each other and detrimentally with others (women, homosexuals, bisexuals, transgendereds, etc.), then we may be wasting our time debating what ought to be. Unless, of course, we are willing to accept a decrease in our combat effectiveness in exchange for an increase in the prevailing social morality of the day.”

Seriously? Scare tactics and misinformation abound. Since when did heterosexual males have a lock on the ability to perform well and be part of a team or unit? The argument that if men can’t sit around and talk about women all day they have nothing in common and can’t work together is absurd! There are so many things wrong with this piece I just want to scream. Am I crazy in this? Your thoughts?
