There are/were no pull ups in the Army. Push ups, sit ups, and a 2-mile run.

WASHINGTON — An Army officer being promoted to brigadier general openly acknowledged her homosexuality on Friday by having her wife pin her star to her uniform, thus becoming the first openly gay officer of flag rank in the United States military.
The officer, Brig. Gen. Tammy S. Smith, 49, a 26-year veteran of the Army, was promoted in a ceremony at the women’s memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. The star was affixed by Tracey Hepner, who was a co-founder last year of the Military Partners and Families Coalition, which “provides support, resources, education and advocacy for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender military partners and their families,” according to its Web site.
The couple married in March 2011 in the District of Columbia.

I don’t know. A friend’s brother served in the Royal Marines and now he’s earning a shedload as an AEGIS contractor with a masters in security and risk management. From an outsider’s perspective, it seems to me that if you’ve got the wherewithal to become and serve as a Royal Marine, you don’t really need to worry about having to rely on a benefit’s package etc to get yourself successfuly through life.
aRmY strong/wrong.
You don’t get to full colonel overnight, so she’s been violating the UCMJ for over 20 years, right?
I’m trying to think of just ONE female MP that I knew that wasn’t a lesbian or at least very butch. Nope, I got nuthin’. And I got out in 1983.
She couldn’t have rubbed Americas nose in it without obamas approval. No doubt he’s behind this.
there are things like a cemetary, we are working on that though, bit like Arlington.
Then there are VA loans etc.
I also have pals which have ended up with no job, security and then there are others who do much better.
I like so many have never really adjusted to civvy life

You mean to tell us that the movie Stripes (which came out in the early 80s) didn’t have a realistic depiction of female MPs?

“You come up with a lot of BS, but you offer no solutions. smart guy.”
You should know since you are BS, and Romney is NO solution to anything....he is a continuation of the problem.
You got that right! Long overdue!! Let's roll!!!
"Cmon girlths! To the trencheths!!"
“............Romney is NO solution to anything....he is a continuation of the problem.”

Let me see if I’m following this correctly—Obama promotes a long-time lesbian Army Colonel to BG and you go off on Romney? Things that make you go hmmmmm.
Butt ass ugly lezzies. Who plays the man part & who plays the woman part? Bunch of freak perverts!
REALLY!!!
do you have how many push ups and time for the runs please?
So what is your solution.
All you do is smear Romney, Who is your hero that is going to save us from Romney and Obama?
“Obama promotes a long-time lesbian Army Colonel to BG and you go off on Romney?”
Romney has bragged he is a homosexual supporter for decades. So, HE did help set the stage for this atrocity. Plus, he has clearly stated HE WILL NOT do anything to stop to homosexualization of the military. Also, he COMPLETELY dodged getting involved in the Chick-A-Fila debate...like the weasel he is.
There is a reason the homosexual lobby worked so hard to allow open homosexuality in the military.
Once it is accepted in the military, it cannot be rejected anywhere else. It is the "camel's nose", and it is all the way in now.
Now the lawsuits begin.
This is how it will play out in the military. X amount of years from now, the proponents of open homosexuality in the military will say: "They all said it would be a disaster, how the military would crumble, all that stuff. Look at us now, we are more ready to carry out our missions now than we have ever been. Those people were all wrong, we have a new, energized, mission-capable and thoroughly integrated military that allows all Americans to serve with honor."
This will be trumpeted over and over and over again. There will be no dissenting voices from within the military, those people will be all gone.
Our first dose of reality will be when our military is handed a crushing defeat in a tight spot (similar to our Marines experienced at Guadalcanal or Chosin) because all the capabilities will be so far eroded and completely covered up by gun decking perfumed princes inside the military, aided by the media.
It will stun Americans, because it will be so unexpected to them. I wish I weren't right on this.
Our everything is being ruined right before our very eyes.
26 yrs, built on a lie, and now he's a commander in cheif.
Obama is an AA stooge, knows that he is, so he wants to promote other AA stooges, so that he's not the only one. The new normal.
