The first time I pulled mess hall duty in the Marines I was assigned to the salad room. Another assigned Marine held out a cucumber and asked me what it reminded me of. About 1/2 hour later, after my talk with the Mess Hall Chief, I saw the last of that guy. Never saw him again.... Good riddance!

No gays in the military.....never ever.......

While I wholeheartedly embrace the concept of civilian control of the military, I also have a real problem with a service secretary who has never spent a day in uniform.

Being gay and in the military isn’t the problem; it’s the behavior that will follow the minute they quit booting them out. My two sons (Army and USMC) will leave the military as soon as they can if this happens.

My daughter was planning on entering the US Military after graduating high school this year. She has decided to wait and see what Obama does with the issue of homosexuals servingly openly. I have spoken to several young people in her school who are waiting to enlist, or abandoning enlistment altogether for the same reason.

Young people know what a terrible effect it will be, if open homosexuality is pushed upon the armed forces. They have seen the effect of it being pushed elsewhere in their world.

In the Air Force, the Airman, NCO, and O Clubs are being replaced by the All-Ranks Club. MWR has been losing money hand over fist in the Air Force club system the last few years.

I suggest we assign the Muddy Helmet Brigade to exclusively running the ‘ detainee facilities’

Just as well. If she can’t handle the stress of possibly knowing an open homosexual, she probably can’t handle the stress of combat.

I am old. Think it was 3.2 beer at the Airmens club. Had to drink that by the barrel.

“can’t handle the stress of possibly knowing an open homosexual”

I think that’s part of the problem. The vast majority of soldiers don’t want to “know” a homosexual in the biblical sense. It would be equivalent to requiring young male enlistees to shower with nude female cadets. How soon do you think that is going to happen?

0bama wants to do two things with this - weaken the military by driving out the good guys and gals, and promote sexual perversion. 0bama must be tossed out ASAP and Repubs need a majority in November. Has to happen.

Bullshit.

Homosexuals do not belong in the military and normal men and women should not have to associate with sexual perverts while serving in the military.

Read a newer quote the other day and he’s changed his tune. Singing soprano now. Thinks “attitudes and cirmcunstances have changed” and now he wants “fairness” and the military ruined. I loathe, detest and abhor Powell.

Note my comment above.

No one serving in the military should be forced to associate with mentally ill sexual perverts. And that’s what homosexuals are.
