The countries you list largely ban homosexuality in general. For example, in Saudi Arabia and the other Muslim countries, I am relatively certain it is a death penalty offence to be homosexual...

First I have heard of a moral reason, in the past I have always seen it listed as a morale issue
Then I guess they must really ban homosexuals in their military . . .

I think my list is approximately right. Anyway, I'm more interested in the countries that allow gays in the military. There must be some evidence of whether this has or hasn't hurt combat effectiveness. The Israeli and British militaries have not been sitting home twiddling their thumbs.
