    But at least the official line will be acceptance.

    Gay Marines ? That will be hard for the non gay marines to acept considering the mindset of most maraines.


    The Navy and AF now it will just be a matter of making it official.

    I have known several gay men who insist that they have known numerous gay marines. In fact, one said that if he ever just wanted a meaningless one night stand, he would go to bars near Camp Lejeune.

    But openly gay in the Marine Corp would be a different story.

    I am glad to see this policy go away, we have lost many valuable people to this inane policy!

    Yeah, I hear they throw grenades like girls.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It hasn't gone away yet.
