Fortunately, those same bonds of combat remain unbroken in a few of our military leaders, most notably both the recently departed commandant of the Marine Corps, General James Conway, and his successor, General James Amos. Along with the military chiefs of the Army and Air Force, they have publicly stood their ground in support of continuing the current policy. Last week, General Amos, courageously told a group of reporters that "I don't want to lose any Marines to the distraction. I don't want to have any Marines that I'm visiting at Bethesda with no legs with the result of any type of distraction."

The distraction General Amos speaks of is the inclusion of openly gay warriors in the ranks of Marines in combat. The general displays the courage earned through combat and the commitment to his Marines to ensure their victory in combat. He has placed his love of the brotherhood of Marines ahead of the altar of political correctness inside the Beltway. We will know shortly if this courageous warrior will be sacrificed on that same altar.

"I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to."

This quote from the film "A Few Good Men" seems appropriate here. I wonder when they made that movie that they ever realized how true that statement was about the men that protect our country! And I mean real MEN!

The Demonrats want to use DADT to destroy our military from the inside, because their Taliban, Russian, Chinese, North Korean, Bedouin, Iranian branches can’t do it from the outside.
