I roommated with a couple of Marine reservists back in the 90's. And this topic came up all the time. The consensus was not good. In fact they used to sing a song similar to this (More rude) all the time as a laugh but it shows you where their heads were at.

WASHINGTON - Congress is one step away from ending the ban on gays serving openly in the military, with the Senate ready for a landmark vote that could deliver a major victory to the homosexual community, liberals and President Barack Obama.Senators planned a procedural vote Saturday on a bill ending the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy as lawmakers held an unusual weekend session in their race to finish the year's legislative business.If at least 60 senators vote to advance the bill as expected, the repeal, which passed the House this week, could win final passage by late afternoon.

It's not my country... but when did that ever stop me having an opinion?

I can see valid points being made on both sides, but pragmatically I support the decision to get rid of DADT. Gays always have and always will serve in any army. Any man who feels he can't concentrate with a gay man at his side may simply choose not to sign up. Simple!

When incoming fire is hitting your AO?
The last thing your thinking of is who is or is not Gay!
If that is the top thing on your mind in Combat?
You deserve to suffer whatever happens to you.

But what if the gay guy gets shot and you have to do your best to provide first aid and some of his gay blood gets on you, you might catch THE GAY!

I'm reminded of the old MASH episode where they get a racist demanding only "white blood" for his transfusion. Hawkeye and Trapper then darken his skin while he is asleep to freak him out.

Gays can serve in the military its called DADT! I feel DADT was a good compromise to the issue. This is a volunteer army and polls show that a great many volunteers would not reenlist if gays served openly. Some polls show as high as 40% in the Marine Corps!

One republican stated that they hope America can stomach re instituting the draft because that is the only way they will be able to shore up the losses.

So does that mean a sizable minority of up to 40% of marines are secretly in the closet?
