Who would have thought the military was struggling in Iraq partially due to its homophobia. To wit, The New Yorker noted this in its December 18 edition:
"...Five years after the 9/11 attacks, our one-thousand-strong Embassy in Baghdad has just six fluent speakers of Arabic, plus twenty-seven who aren't fluent. (As the [Iraq Study Group] Report does not mention, fifty-five Arabic language specialists have been cashiered from the military for being gay.)"
