WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says a new Pentagon report concludes that last year's repeal of the ban on gays serving openly in the military has not affected military morale or readiness.

Panetta is telling reporters that his view is that "the military has kind of moved beyond it." He said the presence of gays in the military has become accepted.

Well, since the regime has declared the War on Terror over and we have no other enemies in the world, we won’t be needing a military anymore anyway, right Leon?

Obviously no “DaDt” personnel have not yet been killed, wounded or injured in action, else the national MSMerde would have been all over it.

Then, on the other hand, perhaps they prefer to serve their country and not the Obama agenda.

Not near as bad as putting this amoral, political, douche bag in as secretary.

A Marine expresses his unhappiness with Obama’s policies and is booted with ten years served and given a less than honorable discharge.

Sergeant: “So how do you guys like the CinC’s new homo policy?”
(Men, all together) “It’s a good thing he did, Sarge—it’s a real good thing!”

They didn’t want to get wished out to the cornfield by President `Anthony.’

tell me if i'm wrong in thinking that if fag A is screwing fag B in the same squad/platoon and the SHTF, either of them will sacrifice you and or the whole squad/platoon to save their sex partner if it comes down to it...

The Court Martials against hate speech and hate crimes against homosexuals will continue until morale improves. That is all.

Pannetta is an a$$. Morale is in the crapper.

“They” may be out there on behalf of Obama, no longer on behalf of me.

The /s was a comment about my disgust for Panetta’s lie. Having a son in the Army, and many family members who have served since the start of the Afghanistan war (7 total), I’m very aware that the military under the homo-in-chief isn’t allowed to voice their true opinions on this issue.

There could be mass desertions and Panetta would say that morale had not been affected. We have reached the stage where our government routinely lies to us and we expect deceit at all levels most of the time.

I disagree. I work with junior and senior enlisted USN personnel daily and I give them more credit. It really is a non-issue.

A malignant tumor is harmless, in the early stages....The brown door has been opened, the butt pirates are coming. Ask the Catholic Church how it's worked out for them.

No not at all. Marines are all lovey dovey peacenicks and would never harm anyone.

Well, you indicated they were murderers, very different from soldiers or Marines. It was an insult to them.
