It's an irrelevant question. What are some pitfalls of black servicemen? What are some pitfalls of really horny straight servicemen? What are some pitfalls of short servicemen? What are some pitfalls of servicewomen? What are some pitfalls of a half Italian, half German, American born serviceman named Klaus O'mally (the Italian side lived in Ireland for a couple generations and changed the name to assimilate) who's got one really short pinky toe and likes to collect baseball cards?

Who gives a crap if there are particulars that need to be figured out. Discrimination is discrimination and inviting people to start debating the minutia of exactly how to fix the moral outrage that is discrimination has no place in a discussion about whether to do away with said discrimination.
