Now with the openly gay policy in the military my question is
this: Will the military do like the Lutheran and Anglican churches and split up and have separate militaries as they have splinter churches? Just wondering.

2. hmm no
like other integrations, a few service members will leave at the end of their terms. Most will smartly salute, say AYE, AYE sir and carry on.

3. First we will actually have to have a openly Gay policy in the Military
I know it's coming but until I can see the first openly Gay person in the military say they are Gay without the code of military justice hanging over their head, I'm not going to hold my breath.

4. My point is that this seems like quite a divisive issue within
conservative institutions so I am curious as to how it might play out.

5. My guess is the same way it did for African Americans.
