Listen I have no problem with the Brits. There are some pretty bad ass warriors in their ranks. Don't mess with the United States Marines though. The US military, especially the Marines are an unrivaled fighting force anywhere on the planet. Ask anyone who's ever been on the opposite side of the US Marines. The Somali's wouldn't f*** with them back in the '90's, no one who has an interest in living(sane or insane) will mess with them either. Allowing the openly gay in their ranks would forever change that special brotherhood of Marines.
Good point; because the UK Military was told to embrace sodomy by their courts is no reason for it to be forced into our military.
