In the United States military departments have begun an 'etiquette for meeting with gay soldiers' to be distributed to the military. It includes practical tips for dealing with the unknown nature, the openly gay soldiers: How does, for example, an officer saw the two kissing Marines?
'Do not tell - do not ask (DADT)' is the familiar rule in the American military: We ask you not for your sexual orientation, so you do not even talk about it. At least not if you are gay, because in this case would result in a dismissal (Note: If heterosexual men talk about their weekend conquests, this is of course still as cool). Since this rule, however, can also lead to problems, leading military experts have obviously made a lot of attention about how to prepare hetero-American soldiers in the event that they should suddenly meet with gay comrades. The result of this military tour de force is now in the form of a booklet that was distributed to around 2.2 million active soldiers and reservists. It identifies the main questions are answered in detail, such as: How does an officer behaves correctly if it encounters two kissing soldiers in a shopping center? This brochure, however, has a serious side: As usual, the American military, wants to be "prepared for the worst '. And the real thing in this case, but may soon be forthcoming abolition of DADT-determination, which could then easily lead to American officers to the previously unknown situation, to find two openly homosexual subordinates.
Note: The brochure, according to the above mentioned case study proper conduct of the officer it would be only in cases where the kissing would be overflowing, corrective action to intervene. This "corrective intervention" should, the teaching statement, however, apply also to the sprawling kissing heterosexual soldiers.
