    I thought the movie was done very well. I believe it is wrong to base a person's ability to serve in the military on what happens in your home. Your abilities should be based on your actions and the achievements you have accomplished on the job, not on who you love. I was very happy to see Margarethe was able to finish her career and retire as she deserved.

    Outstanding performances by all, and Glenn Close was convincing in her performance of Margarethe Cammermeyer. She stood for the one thing that money can not buy and that most people are blind to--her integrity. She found out the truth of who she was and stood in her truth, no matter what the cost. The Army's stand on homosexuality is so outdated. Too bad they lose hundreds of excellent soldiers, just because they happen to love someone who is "different" from who The Army thinks we should love. Fantastic movie, I will rent and watch it again!

    I don't think the movie misses the point. The point was she didn't lie, even by omission. When she truly realized how she felt she told the truth. I am drawn to women because of how they feel and think things through, aren't just hot-headed but I am not a lesbian. When I want to make love to someone it is with a man and I feel totally connected to be with him in the biblical sense. Did having intimate relationships with a female dull her senses, her abilities to think and act appropriately in fulfilling her duties? NO - they didn't and that was THE point. Discrimination - no matter in what capacity is wrong - each and every person needs to be evaluated on their worth, skills and not what goes on behind closed doors.
