Three years ago, Maj. Daniel Toven couldn’t imagine being married, let alone having a ceremony in Fort Bragg’s Main Post Chapel. Like all gay soldiers at the time, he was living under the policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell” — a policy that kept separated his personal life and his work.
But after a whirlwind of changes that began with the repeal of the ban in 2011, Toven and his partner, Johnathan Taylor, have broken ground.

that is so completely wrong
Thank you Progressive Goodthinkers!
No one can gag the maggots like you folks!
We are done for.
Impossible to have the same admiration and respect for those in uniform nowadays. Not with this faggotized military.

He can keep on imagining. He still isn't married.
Good Lord — Never been so happy that my husband is now retired. The Army he served was something wholly different from whatever it is that exists now.
Because the military had no choice in doing this. They are forced to by the commander in chief (puke) as a way of sticking his thumb in the eyes of the military, the country, and god. Do not blame the military.
