Same-sex Navy couple faces backlash for re-creating iconic WWII kiss.....

A military couple reenacted the classic WW II kiss between a sailor and a nurse after a seven-month deployment.

On Dec. 21, sailor Bryan Woodington, 33, stepped off the USS The Sullivans at Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville, Fla., eager to greet Kenneth, his husband of one year. According to News 4 Jax, Bryan was one of 300 sailors returning to their families after seven months in the Persian Gulf and Europe.

“When I saw Bryan, I lost all control and ran over to him,” Kenneth, 30, a special education teacher, tells Yahoo Lifestyle.

The couple won a lottery to perform the ceremonial first kiss, a naval tradition that allows one lucky sailor to disembark first and greet his or her loved one (in 2011, two female sailors were reportedly the first same-sex couple to win).

Words escape me. An a retired Army Officer, this is what Obama has done to our military and society. Sickness, debauchery, disgusting behavior called normal and good. Shame on the Navy and all their Obama appointed leadership. But the rest of the military is just as decayed these days.

BTW, there is nothing they could do to recreate that kiss. All they did was besmirch and degrade the memory of it with this stunt.

This is WAY PAST voting for democrats.

In case you haven’t noticed there’s WAAAY TOO MANY SUCK ####S that are Rs now too.

And the country has had a dem party for a looong time without this sickness.

This is an illness of the American soul.

Even Tip said we were defining deviancy down way back when.

The Commanding Officer of that ship should charge both “men” with conduct unbecoming!

PDA is not allowed in uniform!

As a retired Naval Officer, this is the most disgraceful display of flaunting the UCMJ I have ever seen!

Discharge them both as “unfit for futher service!”

Well once again God is right......he said we’d go down this path and here we are. Last year the Navy had to gals doing the same thing.......this would be enough for me to NOT join the Navy!

That’s just pure disgusting behavior......makes my skin crawl I have to say.

Let’s hope some good ones survived on the inside to hold the line. If they’d all resigned in protest, all we’d have left are the filth that pulled this photo stunt.

Mad dog Mattis, and most of the GOP would approve. Perverts.

They do this to flaunt our powerlessness to stop them.

They never wanted to be left alone. They want to be left in charge.

After local television channel News 4 Jax interviewed the couple, the station reported it was “bombarded” by enraged viewers who wrote, “How sad that your station has dropped to such a low as to show a gay couple kissing on your newscast,” “I’ll never watch your news again!!!! So long, News4Jax” and, “I thought this was a ‘family friendly’ news channel.”

Good on the callers!
