Oh, and my husband has said very clearly that he doesn’t care if he has 19 years, 11 months and 29 days towards his retirement, the day they allow Marines to be openly homosexual is the day he will leave the Corps.
He’s that close? My best regards to him. I’ve had sentiments that were similar; I’ve told my soldiers that I wanted to be retired before the rainbow flag was hoisted over Fort Bragg.
