Thacker) Organization: The American University - University Computing Center Lines: 12 Approved: military@att.att.com From: Since the US Armed Forces do not accept homosexuals into its ranks, claiming to be gay may become a much-used method of avoiding the draft (should it be re-instituted). Does anyone know how the military would screen draftees who claimed to be gay? Surely, there must be some requirement to prove this and a way to prove it, so it won't be used as a way to avoid service. --- L.
