Err no, why would they voluntarily opt to be gay.

This is an article written by a military personnel himself on the subject: http://www.compleatheretic.com/pubs/essays/gayban2.html

Excerpt from the article:

Military units are worse than small towns. Everyone was aware of the situation. My roommates' affair had pushed our unit out of its normal rhythms. The feeling of trust had been violated. My roommates became the focus of unit discontent.

The presence of known homosexuals is disruptive to the good order and discipline of military units. When my roommates became a couple, they ceased to be members of our unit in a social and emotional sense. They became so obsessed with one another and their relationship that they couldn't or wouldn't fulfill their responsibilities to the rest of us. Their commitment to one another negated the required loyalty to the Army and to their fellow soldiers. They willfully violated the regulations and policies of an organization that they freely joined. Not only were they abusive to me, they were defensive and confrontational with other members of our unit. They acted as though we and the Army were the ones who were wrong. For our part, we others couldn't and wouldn't accept their relationship. This exacerbated the situation and turned it into them against us. This state of affairs was intolerable.

Barracks life is highly communal, and privacy is very limited, but these conditions foster the camaraderie and the unit cohesion that is vital to the proper functioning of a combat-ready force. In the military, respect and loyalty between members is powerful enough to transcend almost every animosity. One is constantly aware of the fact that the SOB down the hall could very well be the SOB who comes between you and death. One disrupts the process at the risk of needlessly lost lives when war becomes a painful necessity. Males have a natural discomfort for homosexuality and intuitively know that they are not to relate to one another in that manner. In the close quarters of the barracks, this discomfort becomes a vital animosity which cannot be transcended.

The advocates for lifting the ban assume that homosexuals would "check their sexuality at the door" of their barracks. The opponents of lifting the ban and the militant homosexuals seeking an end to it agree that this is ludicrous. The advocates' assumption requires that homosexuals remain celibate because any expression of sexuality will probably end up in the barracks. The extreme promiscuity of male homosexuals makes this an inevitability.



Apparently, homosexuals are more aggressive than straight people.

This is anecdotal though, and just because a homophobic army personnel gives his take on the subject doesn't prove that homosexuals are more aggressive than straight people. Recently there was an uproar about about a gay guy being discharged from the US army owing to the homophobic albeit ignorant mindset of the 60 something generals of the US army, and when asked why this was done there was no evidence to prove that homosexuals are more aggresive than straight people. Actually there's a law now in place that doesn't allow discrimination based on sexuality: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_ask,_don%27t_tell#Don.27t_Ask.2C_Don.27t_Tell_Repeal_Act_of_2010

I know about the recent repeal of the law. But that's not the subject here.

I don't think he is homophobic. He describes himself as : "economic and social conservative, republican, union member, moral traditionalistic, US army veteran, secular atheist"

Plus, he is tolerant of homosexuals.

As an aside, opposing the normalization of homosexuality is not advocating violence against homosexuals. One of the functions of society is create a sense a personal security for its members. Individuals who engage in "F*g-bashing" are criminals and should be treated as such.

The firsthand experience of any army veteran should be a credible evidence of how homosexuality interferes in a job! Please read the full article from the link.
