WASHINGTON (AP) - The top uniformed officers of the Army and the Marines say letting gays serve openly in the military at a time of war would be divisive and difficult, sharply challenging a new Pentagon study that calculates the risk as low.
Their assessment, expected Friday at a Senate hearing, was likely to become political ammunition for Arizona Sen. John McCain and other Republicans fighting to keep Congress from repealing the 1993 law that prohibits gays from acknowledging their sexual orientation. Democrats have promised a vote this month to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" law, although its chances of passing this year were considered dim.
"If the law is changed, successfully implementing repeal and assimilating openly homosexual Marines into the tightly woven fabric of our combat units has strong potential for disruption at the small unit level, as it will no doubt divert leadership attention away from an almost singular focus of preparing units for combat," the Marine commandant, Gen.

Man of Honor.
You’re making a difference for our Troops LJ. Keep it going. We all need to be spreading the word on this and fighting back with the truth.
I’ve been pinging the Homosexual agenda list since 2003. And making comments on the articles since before that.
This is my line in the sand, so to speak. Not that I was wishy washy before.
But the offense to all the normal men and women in the military, the veterans, military families, and every normal American, is just too much to stomach. I’m just an old hermit and can’t do much now except pound my keyboard.
So that’s what I do.
It makes me sick with anger and disgust what the freaking sick pervert loving leftists are doing to whatever is fine and good in America - and indeed, the whole world.
They want to turn the whole world into their nasty slave labor fag whorehouse.
