The audience was booing the media's insistence on wasting time with this issue when Obama has spent us into oblivion, seized over 1/7th of the economy, and is regulating the country into fascism. <br /><br />Forgive us, but the world does not revolve around your relationship. And for you to try to MAKE it the issue, when you voluntarily signed up knowing the goddamn rules when you did -- seriously. <br /><br />Also if you would have read the results of the military's own study, you would know that the percentage of gays in the military is even less than the roughly 2% they represent in the general population, and of that tiny less than 2% only 15% responded that they had any interest in being out about their sexual orientation at work anyway. <br /><br />They booed because there are a HELL of a lot more important things going on right now -- just about everything, to be frank. And yet the liberal media wants to keep bringing up this issue because otherwise the candidates might get a chance to talk about what an abysmal failure Obama has been. And they make it their job to prevent that.<br /><br />Thank you for your service. Quit acting like a victim!

Captain Hill has taken the road of heroes before him,notably African Americans that were not only segregated,but at one time, did not recieve equal pay. Speaking of equal pay... Though the military has come to grips with reform, when will Congress ensure that women are treated as full citizens? Bravo to you.
