For the first time, a U.S. military color guard is expected to march alongside rainbow flags in Washington’s gay pride parade.
The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/1j2L9Mg ) reports an eight-member color guard team from the U.S. Army Military District of Washington is scheduled to lead off the parade Saturday. The Department of Defense authorized the participation.
Organizers and military gay rights groups say this is a first nationwide for a gay pride parade. The color guard will present the American flag and flags of each military branch.
Capital Pride organizers requested color guards in the past but were rejected.

Maybe you could make your locked caps bold? (No, I don’t know how to do it)
THIS IS DISGUSTING!
No, not the one. I want to say this was in Texas and it was Marines, not Navy.
Conduct Unbecoming.
OH MY STARS!!!! What next. Will our president bow to the
rainbow flags as they pass
surely if the obamas and bidens are not all there for this hysteric occasion, upchuck Hagel and the Joint Chiefs will be, to salute the rainbow flag with hand over heart
No doubt this occasion will produce images that make American hearts swell with pride at the US military
Not to mention impressing the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians and the Norks
This “pride” crap frosts my cookies. What the hell have they got to be proud of?
Shoving their perversion in our faces knowing they can without retribution.
< b >without space< /b >without spaces = BOLD
Make my locked caps bold? I don’t even know what that means. I barely know how to turn this thing on.
By the way my name is Christian.
I’m more and more understanding the Taliban’s hatred of our military.
This is disgusting.
Would a color guard be provided for a procession for the Lady of Fatima?
Here is a link to the disgusting WaPoo article linked in the article you posted...
The comments following this article are disappointingly clueless. Political correctness will ruin us. Soldiers follow orders. They may not like the duty assigned but they none the less do the assigned duty to the best of their ability. Having served in The Old Guard 50 years ago, this news hits me like a massive BARF ALERT. Last October during the “government shutdown”, I attended the annual reunion of The Old Guard Association (TOGA). Most of the events planned for the 50th year since many of us participated in President J. F. Kennedy’s State Funeral were cancelled. As a result I had the opportunity to meet some soldiers in my former company and was not surprised to see that most of them wear CIBs. These are not toy soldiers; they are seasoned warriors who consider it a great honor to serve in the oldest active US military unit with 52 battle streamers on the 3d Infantry Regiment colors.
Here’s a link to the 11 page application for admission to TOG. Note on page 1 that “deployed within the last 36 months is preferred”.

I do not wish to draw any more attention to this debacle than necessary so I’m just adding my comments for the record.
That is what the Commanding General of the MDW needs to say, not Pfc Joe Blow.
soon, the soldiers will have to bow down to the gay mafia....
Thanks JimRed.
This is pure insanity.
Obama is destroying every thing he can, traditions, institutions and whatever else.
“This is pure insanity.”
“Obama is destroying every thing he can, traditions, institutions and whatever else.”
It is the insane plan of the anti-Americans, and they are ahead of schedule, I’m sure.
