      Made some edits: stacked bars, and an adjustment to correct for likely underreporting. Data from [https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR1695.html](https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR1695.html), from the 2015 survey of 16500 military service members for health-related data conducted by the DoD. Chart created using Datawrapper.

      1. The Navy is even gayer than I expected.

      2. The Air Force is significantly less gay than I expected.

      We lost the discussion on the previous version. It’s OK– half of it was jokes. But I’ll copy over my comment with respect to about three people asking „why“.

      > The Navy is the branch with the longest continuous deployments. Once assigned to a ship, a sailor will be there for years, with some stay in port maybe every few months.

      >It therefore self-selects men who don’t have/want families.

      >This is discussed in the 1993 book „Conduct Unbecoming“, which documents the history of gays in the military up until that time. It also discusses how the the USS LaSalle was known as the gayest ship in the navy („The Great White Whore of the Arabian Shore“), by self-selecting men who didn’t mind being a long way from home.

      Ha, I knew it would be the navy before I even looked. We see the ascots and know where we belong

      You know what they say in the navy? Any port in a storm. Heh he! Nudge nudge.

      Me, a Navy veteran, looking at the thumbnail: oh I know what that spike on the right is.

      Me, opening the link: boom.

      THe marine bar should be higher then the navy but they’re all in the closet

      So the stereotype of the Navy is true then lol. Honestly, I wonder why. I imagine it is because everyone is stuck on a boat in tight, confined spaces with each other for long periods of time?

      Winston Churchill once said that the British Navy had no traditions except „rum, sodomy, and the lash.“ Being American, the US Navy doesn’t have rum or the lash and needs to keep up some naval tradition. /s

      When I was in boot camp, our RDC asked who was going subs. Then he said „oh so you’re all gay. On subs 100 single men go down, 50 couples come back up.“

      I guess, according to MAGA, the US military turns people gay. Time to disband.
