I was being a little cheeky. Husband, who served for 23+ years, states that it is not a right to serve in the military. It's an obligation one takes on of his/her own free will. Right now, service is voluntary. The only way the gays can (openly) get in is if Congress reinstitutes the draft, requiring mandatory service, and that won't sit well with the anti-war liberal straight community and their kids.

IMHO this is just another way God is pitting one liberal group's interests against another. They are all trying so hard to hold it together, but the truth is the liberal system is collapsing all around them.

Son and I had a talk about it this morning before we left for work (so it was a short talk), but he managed to sum up succinctly the Marines’ position on the subject and why homosexuals cannot serve. It wasn’t preachy, it wasn’t based on personal feelings, it was a simple and direct, “to maintain order and discipline” among the ranks sort of response — no emotion.

You know, I’m starting to “enjoy” hearing him talk again. It’s not as cute as the stuff he used to say at 2 or 3, but it’s certainly as gratifying and infinitely more comforting. It was the years from 11 to 19 that damn-near did me in. ;-)
