I too spent time in the Pentagon.  I don't know that many of my former military colleagues would agree with you that civilians have less valid opinions just because they aren't wearing a uniform.  Don't forget who the military reports to.  Civilian leadership.  Unless you are still wearing a uniform, I don't think your opinion on this is any more valid than mine. 

Having said that, I share your concerns about this policy down at the unit level.  I think it poses a much more difficult issue than the integration of women.  There is the issue of trust.  I really believe they should have left the whole issue alone, because I think societal norms will solve the problem over a period of time.   I'm not sure I think that shoving it down the throat of the military is the right thing.  It's a much different scenerio serving in a combat unit and working in an office. 

I have no problem with gays (men or women) but even I'm a bit tired of having the issue forced.
