As diversity increases traditions and standards fall.

[kiryandil]

First Lieutenant Sukhbir Toor is Sikh.

That's all that needs to be said.

[Grimmy]

General discharge for failure to adapt.

When you’re a Marine, you’re a Marine. You dress, act and behave as a Marine.

If you have to make yourself different, go somewhere else and be something else.

Semper Fi.

[kiryandil]

I'll bet the looey could beat your weak old @ss.   

[DesertRhino]

Low life. Selfish prick didn’t learn a damned thing in his training.

He thinks he’s the only Marine who has a personal life with a faith or culture?

[monkeyshine]

What, does he want to carry a dagger too? Wear all white? Make himself a target for enemy fire?

[Reno89519]

This should not have been allowed. If he cannot serve following the rules set for everyone, then he should not serve.

[yesthatjallen]

This should not have been allowed. If he cannot serve following the rules set for everyone, then he should not serve.

Surrender and capitulation to diversity. Every tradition and every standard is in the cross hair.

The result will be no standards and no traditions. We're witnessing the dismantling and destruction of Western civilization.

[Feckless]

“I finally don’t have to pick which life I want to commit to...

Everybody else does, one way or another. I wanted to be a long haired hippy on a chopper in 1972. I joined the Army and made it a career.

[wardaddy]

What’s your credibility kiryandi?

Grimmy is a marine who served,

Can you match that?

[Secret Agent Man]

ok kick him out then

[Laslo Fripp]

No.

It also needs to be said that he’s not a Marine.

Nitwit...

[zencycler]

Can an enlisted female wear a burka?

[Jaysin]

And amazingly, thete are millions among us that are smiling in the shadows as the curtain comes down on the civilized world

[kiryandil]

I have my creds.

He's welcome to come for me.

[kiryandil]

I’ve always liked you, but you have NO idea who I am.

[kiryandil]

That Marine boy could take you apart like a Lego toy, old man.

[kiryandil]

Sikhs are the most implacable enemies of the Musloids on the planet.

I would expect that his desire to wear the honorific of his people in defiance of little Barry and the Smirking Chimp's gonad slurping of our mortal enemies would be a GOOD thing.

You're welcome to slurp alongside the Chimp, of course...  

[libh8er]

Namrata Randhawa, aka “Nikki Haley” is also Sikh.
