Marine pushback to permitting openly gay military
Associated Press ^ | Nov. 26, 2010 | JULIE WATSON

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (AP) -- They are the few, the proud and perhaps the military's biggest opponents of lifting the ban on openly gay troops.

Most of those serving in America's armed forces have no strong objections to repealing the "don't ask, don't tell" law, according to a Pentagon survey of 400,000 active duty and reservists that is scheduled for release Tuesday.

This is now the mantra from the MSM.

The ONLY good thing that repealing DADT might do is bring back the draft. I am in favor of that.

Actually that quote is a perfect example of how the Corps views gays...self centered, self serving, sexual deviates from the norm.

I wonder if those are the words President Bush used when he met Marine Eric Alva, one of the first Purple Heart recipients of OIF (picture 1) (2). "Thank you for your service, you self-centered, self-serving, sexual deviate. Here's a medal."

UCMJ § 925. Art. 125. Sodomy

(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense.
(b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

Rebuke the fags and then stay away from them.

So says the bible.

I totally agree.

Would you explain this?

"The gays and their supporters will talk about the Theban Sacred Band"
"The argument they cannot get around, though, is the one Red Dog made"

The Theban Sacred Band (if it existed at all) was comprised of only one hundred fifty homosexual couples. The US military today is about 1.4 million active and 1.4 million in the reserves. That's a lot of tough-as-nails gay couples to recruit.

Red dog's argument is exactly how I see it as well. Letting males and females share the same barracks or fighting holes would be the heterosexual equivalent of letting homos serve openly. Look what is happening in the Navy with females serving on board ships - a lot of babies will be claiming the ocean as their place of birth when they grow up. The bottom line is that straights who aren't comfortable sleeping next to copulating homos will leave the military.

It seemed a lot higher when I was in the Army from ´67 to 71.

Were you a corpsman with Marine units?

Thanks for your service.

As usual pushing leftist crap, as you do every comment I’ve ever seen you make.

Homosexuals are mentally ill with grave character and behavior flaws. They DO NOT BELONG in the military.

So a few sneak and don’t make a big deal of their perversion. That doesn’t change the fact that they DON’T BELONG IN THE MILITARY.

I’m getting sick of your support of homosexuals in the military.

Since the military STILL has a DADT policy, why do we know Marine Eric Alva sexual preference? If he is gay he should be shown the door.

Yes, I was a hospital corpsman for almost 20 years, including eight years in marine units. Sept. 2004-Mar. ‘05, I was near Baghdad, in the Triangle of Death, in a marine infantry battalion.

And a month ago the Military reported that only about 10% of the Army had responded to the Pentagon survey. a lot can be made up in a month when the instructions were going in the
Pentagon was not to debate right or wrong just figure how to git ‘er done. The USMC seems the sticking point between a Reprobate Pretender in the White House and his lust for power
Same way the Christian Patriot is was a problem the Communist
had to overcome in taking America.

AND the Corps nailed it right. They do pretty good in sizing up the recruits from what I see.

I’ll concede we have alot of them, but I think we are running neck in neck with the Navy.

Have you been watching NCIS? We started at the beginning with DVDs and it seems like every other episode has a gay Navy character - sometimes the good guy, sometimes the bad. I really liked the show at first, but that theme's getting really old.

Most of them probably have an opine—but most of them probably believe they can handle whatever comes along. AND
most do —one way or another. The hyphenated American that
introduced me into the “joy” of sodomy. had been sodomized in jail(so he said) and I believe he chose to do unto others as he had done to him. It took me twenty yrs. smoking dope -but
I decided I would NEVER surrender,and will oppose gays in the Military as long as I draw breath.

The BS "survey" was just that - BS, as witnessed to by two freepers. Will post links in a couple of hours when I get back.

The leftists want homos in the military for two reasons: One, to push the anti-freedom, anti-religion and anti-natural law homosexual agenda, and Two, to enfeeble the military.
