No legs, no gays

I came across this news story on Yahoo! It's an inspirational story about a soldier who lost his legs in Iraq and how he is going back to fight. I am proud of this man for his courage and I don't mean to take anything away from him, but how is it that he can go to war without legs but openly gay soldiers aren't allowed to fight at all? It's a crime in this country that soldiers can't fight for their country based on sexual orientation. It's disgusting. They'd rather have double amputees than gays. SMH.
