From where I am sitting right now, I have a picture of my son shaking hands with Robert Gates standing in front of Eagle Tower at Fort Benning. He also gave my son a Sec. Def. coin. It kills me that he would even think our messing with or troops this way!
I am taking it off my mantle and will put it away.
Thank your son for me...
The next public figure that says repeal this policy must agree to allow a platoon of male marines shower daily with their of-age daughter or niece and have no issues with it. They just dont get it. I guess these people wont stop until the ghost of General Rhohm infiltrates our military leaders to set the standards for personal conduct.
