The head of the US Marines said on Thursday he opposed ending the ban on gays serving openly in the military, the first top officer to break openly with President Barack Obama over the issue.

General James Conway told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he disagreed with Obama's plan to repeal the ban.

"My best military advice to this committee, to the (defense) secretary, and to the president would be to keep the law such as it is."

There is one man standing still. He needs to team up with the Duncan Hunter and Son and kill this Obama wet dream.

Fight back, Marines. This is about much more than just letting people serve.

This isn’t even about the Bible and immorality. This is about the emasculation of our military.

damn right he does as does the marine corp to you bozo that is marine corpse.

the ARMY and the navy supply no danger outfits might want it seeing as most of them are there for a free VA loan and a free schooling but the infantry and front lines who do the hard work do not want this .

Any vet on here will know that having homosexuals openly serve will bring so many problems it is not worth it.

There is not one pro to having openly serving homosexuals, besides they need their heads fixing as they are not mentally right up there if they are a homosexual

Superb. Our nine-year old daughter is going to her first Young Marine encampment this weekend as a recruit. It will be her first camping trip also.

If the homosexuals really want to “serve their country” that badly, what difference does it make whether or not everyone knows they are a homosexual? I don’t get it.
