on it is based on the fact<br>> that a nations military forces reflects the
statistics of that nation. It<br>> is estimated that about 10% of the US
population is gay, therefore, it<br>> safe to make the assumption that
some where around 6,000 of those on the<br>> Wall were gay (5, 819.5 for
those of you out there doing the math).<br>> <br>> Even more interesting
when you look at those numbers based on WW2 troop<br>> numbers, and really
more revealing when you consider that there have been<br>> 3,465 Medal of
Honor winners, resulting in 346 gay Medal of Honor winners.<br>> <br>> I
had an old First Sergeant that used to tell our troops, that one in<br>>
three people in America has some sort of psychological problem. So in
this<br>> formation, look to your left, and look to your right, and if those
two<br>> guys look OK, it's YOU!<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>>

it bears repeating again coupled<br>>> with serious
concern.<br>>><br>>> There are 58,195 names on the Vietnam Memorial
