WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Marine Corps' top uniformed officer says he won't force his troops to bunk with gays on base and would give them separate rooms if Congress votes to allow openly gay service.

Marine Corps Chief of Staff Gen. James Conway is a known opponent of a recent push by Democrats to repeal the 1993 law, known as "don't ask, don't tell."

Whaaaaaaat????

[phormer phrog phlyer]

Will this occur at MCRD?

[Roklok]

Give them their own foxhole too!

[Tulsa Ramjet]

what if they are tri-sexuals?

[GoCards]

lol

[Ted Grant]

Say you’re gay, get a free private room. Find your straight side when you are discharged. Sexuality being so fluid and all.

[Scotsman will be Free]

Since when is the jarhead top general a “chief of staff”? I thought that his title was Commandant of the Marine Corps.
Secondly, good for the General. I would not have been a happy doggie to have been forced to bunk with a queer.

So, they get peferential treatment? Everyone else bunks in one big room, but if I say "Hey, I'm gay", I get my own private room? I get privacy, pesonal space and a room to myself? Wonder how many guys are gonna claim to be gay, just to get the benefits?

i think this was about the time when the Sodomites started smelling sulfur in the air...

Of course, we could have an all-gay brigade. War breaks out and pedicures for everyone.

[Tallguy]

All-gay training serials?

[Izzy Dunne]

would give them separate rooms

Yeah, THAT will discourage them!

[ConorMacNessa]

Conway's not the Marines' "Chief of Staff" - he's the Commandant.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[WOBBLY BOB]

Chesty Puller is now Dick Holder.

[MaxMax]

What if the straits want their own room too?

This is segregation and discrimination against normal people
and should be illegal. Gays do not belong in the military!!!

[silverleaf]

with bunk beds? So they can be on top of their buddies?

[littleharbour]

Gee, if it’s so benign, why don’t they let all the queers bunk together in one room?? What could possibly occur in that scenario?? :P

[Red Badger]

Whole new meaning to the term “bunky”.....................

[Brad from Tennessee]

Legally these people probably can't be segregated. And giving them private quarters will simply attract more of them. Maybe they could have an all-gay regiment—the Light Brigade.

[silverleaf]

oh, that is baaaad
