Mr. Cohen, who NEVER spent a day in uniform, feels qualified to criticize and ask for the dismissal of the Commandant of the Marine Corps? What parallel universe is this? The general's been a Marine officer since 1970!

I can picture Cohen having delusions of grandeur, with himself shouting, “Colonel; did you order the Code Red?!”

I think he has to go also but for the opposite reason.

One week after warning the distraction of repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell” could risk Marines’ lives, Gen. James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, pledged to lead the effort to integrate openly gay Marines.

Typical anti-Clinton B.S., funded by Richard Mellon Scaife.

Leftists corrupt science, religion, and now the military... Rotting America at the core.

These people (gay-lovers) make me sick.

They'll be the first to scream, "Hate crime," when a Top Sarge yells at a new recruit, makes him/her scrub the toilets and do twenty laps around the flag pole, for failure to salute, etc.

Sure enough, gays along with the gals will get special treatment on account of their "minority status," and in the future, put the lives of all those around them in jeopardy.

The queers will try to force him out just like they did to Peter Pace. What filthy scum they are. And...WTF are they so “proud” of?

Mr. Cohen, you served in the military when exactly?
If you did not serve, S-T-F-U! =.=

Thanks for the input Cohen. Let’s put a bunch of sissies and nebbish Jews like you on the front lines and see what happens.

An openly gay Marine in a front-line combat unit should have “Casualty” written across the forehead....

It’s not about metrosexual uniform fantasies. It’s about killing people, blowing things up, and watching your buddies back. (For reasons OTHER than admiration of his behind.)

So after the house and senate and the CIC made the decision what did you expect the Commandant to do? He was the4 only one that openly challenged this BS right up to the time it was passed.

I am a fan of the old World War II movies, the ones where the platoon was composed of typical Americans, Hollywood-style.

probably because you found them so BUFF and HOT, Richard?

Which of these two men do you want to take advice about the military and the safety of our country?

It's a no brainier. Cohen has been a rabid America hater from as long as he has been putting pen to paper. He should just spend his time hanging around the bath houses in Soho and smoking his jazz cigarettes.

A fair number will declare themselves. Then when the policy is reversed, they’ll be discharged. This could work out to be a win. We just have to see it through.

Now, of course, we would have to add a gay soldier. I fear for him. He'll need someone to watch his back.

Another good reason they should not be 'openly' serving. Another diversion and distraction for our soldiers. The Military is NOT a social experiment. . .and while Richard may imagine this a better world in the making; those responsible for this change; have no such illusions.

Sick, sick, sick of these Liberals who are either arrogantly clueless as to their own ignorance or who are just plain malevolent in their intentions. Or both. Whatever their case; they hasten the decline and the security of our Country.

Gen. Amos has absolutely no choice but to implement the program. At least he’ll be able to have some control over HOW it’s implemented, as Commandant.

Got in a hurry and posted that response to the wrong thread!

As someone said, this Commandant is the same one who just today (?) said he would work to implement the new rules.

Huh.
