The Wall Street Journal Blogs ^ | June 21, 2011 | Nathan Hodge

Straight talk from Sgt. Maj. of the Marine Corps: “How dare we, then, exclude a group of people who want to do the same thing you do right now, something that is honorable and noble?”

“Get over it,” he said. “We’re magnificent, we’re going to continue to be. Let’s just move on, treat everybody with firmness, fairness, dignity, compassion and respect. Let’s be Marines.”

bit.ly The Command Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps addressed a group of Marines at a base in South Korea several key topics, including the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy...

The real issue is can unit conhesion be maintained with gay people in a unit?

You're asking the wrong question. The nature of the homosexual psychosis is one of selfishness, self-aggrandizing, and a constant need for attention. It's part of why they do what they do. If they can't serve "openly," then they can't be allowed to bring their gay pride parades to us on-post. They can still serve and do great things for their country, but they can't flaunt and scream "look at me!" from the rooftops. With DADT repealed, none of this is the case anymore. They can now make spectacles of themselves, and there's nothing we can do about it in the military since homosexuals are probably the most protected class in all of American politics (Muslims and illegal immigrants being a close tie for second).

In general, I don't have a huge problem with homosexuals in the military, but mostly in the sense of allowing an individual to serve his/her country. It will get far away from that very quickly, mark my words. If it was solely about service, then DADT would've been a perfectly adequate policy.

Just wait until the perverts march in the ‘pervert’ pride parade with their dress blues on (well, parts of the uniform anyway) with ball gags and dog collars and such..

Did you see the video Massmike posted the other day with wiener and schumer et al at the nyc pervert parade? Disgusting!

My eldest daughter after 8 years is finished with the USMC and my son has a year left and he will not be signing up for another four years. He said most of his friends will quit after their 4 years are up as well.

It has to change, has to. Without a strong military, what will happen to the country? Ruination.

That’s the whole plan IMHO.. No better way than to destroy decency and integrity by demoralization..

Is there a real issue here?

Yes, it is called homosexual sex. The issue has never been about banning those poor mistreated 'gay' people that. The military has ALWAYS banned those who engage in homosexual sex as they are objectively disordered.

“but it wouldn’t be productive for our national defense, and that’s the real point.”

That’s the only consideration. Most soldiers would probably say that DADT was working pretty well. The openly gay thing had one purpose only, and that was to deconstruct and demoralize the military.

It’s a two-fer. A) Promote evil perversion and B) Destroy the military and thus the entire security of the USA.

And in the process, destroy our Constitutional freedoms of religion, speech and association.

As I remember, the character “Henry Hill”, the narrator in the movie, actually used the term “bust out”. It’s the only time I’ve run across it prior to your post.

My old Drill Instructor Sgt. J.D. Fry ( P.I. Plt. 236 1965) would reach out and punch this guy. This is sickening, but then again talking stupid shiite like this is how he got his rank.

“What could the senior Marine leadership - both enlisted and officer done to prevent this?”

Yours is a very good point. I don’t know what the circumstances are at the upper levels, but hopefully, the “self-correction” I spoke of, working at the platoon and squad level, will make for a military we can always be proud of.

Sounds like you know a bit about the bible. Why does the Bible specifically call out & condemn Male-Male sex but Woman on Woman sex is left out?

The vast majority of heterosexuals engage in sodomy as defined in Article 125 and the Manual for Courts-Martial since it includes a prohibition against oral sex.

You see, there is your problem. “They” do not see the bible as anything other than a cultist pamphlet.

In their mind, you are a robot believing stuff that was written two thousand years ago as “true.”

So, catch up with the 21st Century!
