Marines Get Training on Accepting Gay Recruits
The Blaze ^ | 28 Apr 2011 | Jonathon M. Seidl

Posted on 04/28/2011 6:04:03 PM PDT by BufordP

If a Marine spots two men in his battalion kissing off-duty at a shopping mall, he should react as if he were seeing a man and woman. If he turns on the television news to see a fellow Marine dressed as a civilian and marching in a parade with a banner that reads, "Support Gays and Lesbians in the Military!" he should accept it as a free right of expression.

Prescriptions for those possible scenarios are being played out at Marine bases as the military prepares to allow gays to openly serve, ending a 17-year-old policy commonly known as "don't ask, don't tell." Training for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines began early this year and is expected to finish by summer's end. The repeal goes into effect 60 days after the president, defense secretary and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff certify that lifting the ban won‘t hurt the military's ability to fight.

"These changes are about policy," states briefing material for Marine instructors. "The policy is about adherence to orders and behavior, and not about beliefs."

The latest round of training material asks Marines to consider their reactions to a wide range of scenarios, from seeing a member "hanging around" a gay bar to hearing locker-room jokes from others who refuse to shower in front of gays. Members of the 1st Marine Logistics Group report to class Thursday at Camp Pendleton.

There is nothing wrong with "hanging around" a gay bar, the materials state. The officer who witnesses the loud locker-room banter aimed at gays and lesbians should remind the Marines any discrimination or harassment is inappropriate.

I'm sure that anti-homo marches and speech are just as protected. sure.

Obama's plan for America's defeat... let gays and their lawyers destroy the US military.

demon-2smaUncle Scratch

And remember...

Eight Republican Senators supported the repeal of DADT. Had they opposed it, it would not have passed.

They are: Brown (R-MA), Burr (R-NC), Collins (R-ME), Ensign (R-NV), Kirk (R-IL), Murkowski (R-AK), Snowe (R-ME) and Voinovich (R-OH).

The republic may survive a Barack Obama, but it's less likely to survive the fools and media who made him their president.

I wonder if we will see an increase in “blanket parties”, followed by a lot of straight enlisted marines, NCO’s and Officers being forced out of the Corps or leaving “voluntarily”.

Homosexuals do not belong in the military, especially the Corps.

It’s over people. We’re done. I cashed my entire 401K and bought gold today. I am betting against the return of any adult supervision of our government for the duration of my life. I give up. Reagan was the last adult politician.

These SAME training sessions should make it CLEAR that there is to be no sexual relations in the showers, bunks, etc. and that it is forbidden the videorecord those changing clothes, showering, etc.

We've seen articles discussing bans on cellphones in locker rooms yet we've been told time and time again that homosexuals have NO interest in heterosexuals. Heterosexuals aren't the voyeurs those cellphone bans are trying to stop.

All gays lead the assault up that hill! Shoot em while you got them my fellow soldiers!

Who wants to place a bet on the first gay soldier killed in combat that a full UN investigation , World Court investigation, and Eric Holder (the racist) personally flies to the war front to investigate the death of this gay soldier.

Private nonprofits will hire a battalion of lawyers to represent the family in a wrongful death suit, and/or files a civil rights complaint under 42 USC 1983 against Uncle Sam so the tax payers of the Nation pay out millions in damages!

God help the first homosexual who places his hand on my ass! I need all of my Fire Team members watching my back, NOT MY ASS!

How long before the homosexuals begin to complain about the hard work and training they have to perform? Demands special treatment and recognition of their sexuality as leader positions within the Armed forces?

This is a disaster waiting to happen. You should hear the scuttle butt around my unit! There is talk about leaving homosexuals behind on ambushes just so the Islamic terrorist can capture them. We all know who's head will be cut off on live TV! God help us all!

Political re-education is coming, Americans are being forced to celebrate sin. That is a STATE imposition on religious belief and unconstitutional.

Kirk (R-IL)

Queer.

Will he come out of the closet before or after he switches parties?

If DADT was repealed, don’t we go back to overtly bashing gays like before DADT was in effect? How in the h*ll did we fast forward to tolerance, acceptance of this horrible disease?

My Unit is also being taught (ordered) to accept gays as natural human beings. I jumped up and asked my Commander, (with all due respect) if he wanted me to perform mental gymnastics? I further stated that homosexuality goes against my Religious beliefs and my family customs! He pulled me aside and ordered me to just accept these men and women, or I could find myself in hot water. I asked my Commander, what do I do if a homosexual makes a romantic pass at me, he then said, use your imagination Soldier!

Yeeeeeeeeeeees Sir! HoooooooooooYa!!!!!!!!!!!

OR if it’s 2 senior NCOs or 2 officers, the next time he must answer one of their questions, he should answer, “Yeth Thir, or “No Thir”, I’ll thee to thaat.”

Your Commander is a MoFo. I’m sooo glad I’m retired and don’t have to personally deal with this shiite. But it obviously steams me that we are destroying our own military from within.

It must’ve took great restraint to keep from saying something extremely sarcastic. I don’t think I could have held back.

Believe me when I say, I had blood running out of my mouth, biting my tongue!

Swishes in a forward combat unit will not last long if they attempt to use their sexuality as a weapon against their own men. The Units cohesion is destroyed by this kind of social experimentation, since, no one can trust the homosexual beside, or behind them!

God help us all!
