Thank you, my point exactly. And now, since DADT repeal has been shoved down our throats, they want transgenders in the service. See the can of worms this whole repeal has opened? Imagine what happens if they make same sex marriage legal, then it will be anything goes.

Basic training in the Army and in the Marines is for pussies.
Real soldiering happens in the unit...As I said, they are not good soldiers and they eventually lose credibility as leaders.

Now, address my concern of military effectiveness dirt bag
A pox on him!
In the Australian army, openly homosexual soldiers have been serving since 1992. No great moral collapse has occured, nor has the effectiveness of the military declined.
