When Navy Lt. Gary Ross and his partner were searching for a place to get married, they settled on a site in Vermont, in part because the state is in the Eastern time zone.

That way, the two men were able to recite their vows before family and friends at the first possible moment after the formal repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Just after midnight Tuesday, the partners of 11 years were married.

Yup, like more women= more sexual assaults regardless of how much “training” we get.

[Rennes Templar]

The groom also looks like he could be the officers father.

Okaaaaay.

Now, since women are banned from serving on submarines - for obvious reasons. I assume a new rule banning Openly Homosexual sailors from serving on Subs - for obvious reasons - will be issued at any moment.

Right?

((((( crickets )))))

Mitt Romney’s five sons don’t feel like serving? Phil Gramm’s sons couldn’t be bothered serving? Senator Burr’s sons can’t be bothered serving? What percentage of Citadel or VMI graduates now go on to any typ of military service? This is what you get folks. Blame yourselves.

Actually Perry is one of the few guys on the GOP side to have taken time to serve in uniform. The vast majority took a pass and left it to somebody else.

Sports, politics, money, home life, how the last port/next port was, etc. Yes, I’d not think sodomy would typically come up in conversation.

...for now...that’s what this is ALL about.

The “preacher” wearing all black with red tie looks like Satan lol.

Eliminating the lower fitness standards for women and implementing job specific strength tests would largely eliminate women in the service.

>>>What this administration has done to our military is beyond disgusting.<<<

And this muslim-in-cheif didn’t even offer those that volunteered (which is everyone) for service under a DADT policy the option to get out now that he changed the rules on them.

Stories like this only reaffirms my conviction that we need another “firing on Fort Sumter.”
