Well, by things like My Lai & Iran Air 655, yeah - but what is it that you think has (already) left our military tarnished enough?

[Cabin4]

We can start with this.

[yellowtail3]

You'll have to explain how President Obama has tarnished our military?

I hope these activist understand "Fagging' can lead to "Fragging".

Does it? Soldiers murder fellow soldiers with diff sexual preferences? Yikes... we need to get those kinds of 'soldiers' out of the service... someone who would kill over sexual preference is the kind of pervert we can do without!

  You have never lived in the real world.

[ironglow]

  This demoralizing "slippery slope" was introduced by democrats with "don't ask, don't tell"...now they are greasing the skids with the latest pronouncements..
  Soon they will welcome the transgendered...then, maybe a zoo full of "companions'..
  Many experienced comkbat troops, not wanting to be in a queer military, will be leaving..
   Rest easy; .. the queer brigades will be keeping the vigilant night watch..unless otherwise 'occupied'..    

[yellowtail3]

Many experienced comkbat troops, not wanting to be in a queer military, will be leaving..

If they're the kind of soldiers who want to kill their comrades over sexual preference, let 'em go... no retirement, no benefits, give them a dishonorble before the end of their enlistment. OUT.
 
It on the other hand, they're just jerks who want to ostracize and harass, well... that's not good for military discipline.  Bust 'em down to E-2 if they don't reform. They can either learn to follow orders and be good soldiers, or they can be tossed the hell out.

[Casull]

yellowtail, do you REALLY think this is a good thing for our military?  Are you planning on reenlisting?  Just wondering.

[yellowtail3]

Are you planning on reenlisting?  Just wondering.

Personal questions, but anyhow... my time in uniform is long past. I'm a civilian, now. How about you? Still on active duty?

   What he doesn't likely understand is that the guys who are  leaving are first line, experienced combat troops, mostly from E-4 through E-6..  They have excelled in combat but nopw are likely not to get the retirement promised upon their enlistment and haven't the number of years that they are 'trapped' ..such as most E-7 through E-9.
  They are combat arms troops and don't want to be considered serving in that kind of unit!  A rear eschelon type might not understand the psyche and macho "esprit-de-corps" of a combat arms troops, so some just won't ever "get it"..

E-4 thru E-6... that's a pretty big net.

They aren't 'promised' anything. If they can be good soldiers and follow orders sent down through chain of command (which starts at President Obama, by the way) then yeah, maybe they can make it to retirement. If they can't, they can leave at the end of their enlistment, provided they behave. If they can't do that, threat them like any other discipline problem, up to & including tossing them out of the service.

what exactly is that kind of unit that you refer to? Give a specific?

[Casull]

yellowtail, how about you actually answer a question.  Do you really think this is good for our military?  Simple yes or no will suffice.

 Military Quote:

"When I joined the military it was illegal to be homosexual, then it became optional, and now it's legal. I'm getting out before the democrats make it mandatory."

Sgt Harry Berres, USMC...............Just about says it all lol!

[Casull]

Sort of like the scene in Stripes where the recruiting sgt. asks Bill Murray and Harold Ramus if they're homosexual, wherein they reply:  "No . . . but we're willing to learn.  Will they send us someplace special for that?"

[Shu]

In my heart I do not approve of homosexuallity or cross dressing. I don't think we should chase them down with sticks and beat them to death either.
If a person wants to serve thier country why not let them? There have been homosexuals in the military for many many years. I believe the statute reads not to flaunt or do anything that brings disgrace to the uniform. I have seen alot straights being a disgrace in uniform to think that a definite minority of homosexuals or transvestites would be worse I just don't know. Fortunately my time for a uniform is way past.
I guess it could be disconcerting to know  the guys in the shower are scoping you out but you can't go over to the womens shower and scope them out. Jealousy maybe?

  NW Hunter;
       This is just another symptom of the "culture war" this country is heavily engaged in.  Liberalism set out years ago to destroy all that was decent in our culture and they won't be happy until they have done so.
  If they accomplish what they set out to do, they will find it is a by then, a pretty rotten place to live.  One would think that if they really wanted to live in slime, they would seek out slimy to live instead of being like a bunch of crows...'soiling their own nest'.
   Come to think of it, leftists seem to ruin everything they touch.  Look what they are doing in Wall street. Look what they did in the Wisconsin capitol a little while ago.  Look what they did in cities across the country in the 60s & 70s .  Pretty destructive bunch, come to think of it !
 
  BTW:  There are many Sgt Berres' in the Corps...and ready to leave.  When you have to depend on another Marine to "have your back"..you don't want him distracted ..blowing kisses at another Marine.  If a veteran is one of those who only served in a semi-effeminate position, he may not understand combat troops very well.
  Many have not yet heard of how the Obama admin is trying to cheat retiring troops of the retirement they were promised upon enlistment.  Couple that with the new "rules of engagement"..and one can see where a move toward an early exit is likely.
    Yes, many will leave..here's hoping they vote, campaign and perhaps run for office, pleged to help to salvage the country from Liberalism.

[yellowtail3]

I didn't know we had semi-effeminate positions in the US military. What MOS in army do they emcompass? In the navy.. are these Canoe U grads as opposed to LDO, or what?

        You probably have already noticed, only one person suggested physical abuse or death for these newly accepted troops.
  These people don't deserve physical abuse so much as the are to be pitied. The real culprit here is the administration and their typical liberal/progressive antipathy for the military.
  The same poster enters into further error, saying the troops were "never promised anything".  I think most veterans will agree that we had the following understanding. As such, "once the required time was served to honorably retire, retirement pension started, No need to wait until age 65."
          I am continually amazed at the way some folks hold a grudge against both military and police. Some seem to have special rancor for any authority figure... but hey, we're not all alike !
   ...That's becomes all to obvious every day ..    

[XD40SC]

You guys are always so negative. Guess you never worked in intelligence in the military. This is a great opportunity for us to further infiltrate the Muslim terrorists. These transgender males can put on Berkass and live right among the enemy. Their mustaches would make them look more like Muslim women.

[ironglow]

  Wouldn't even have to teach them how to "wiggle"..          

[yellowtail3]

Yeah, shame on him.
 

These people don't deserve physical abuse so much as the are to be pitied.

Our soldiers who might be gay don't need your pity; your respect, same as toward any other soldier, will suffice.

you mean, the same guy who recommended fragging? huh?
 

  I think most veterans will agree that we had the following understanding. As such, "once the required time was served to honorably retire, retirement pension started, No need to wait until age 65."

Naw, that's not quite right - you can stay in and work toward that pension if your job performance is up to standard, and contingent upon the needs of the service (if you don't make 0-4, you're going out). Any service members who decides they won't follow orders, or can't maintain good military discipline... they need to hang up their wings/boots/whatever and find other work. Period.
 
Got it?

[XD40SC]

I hope these activist understand "Fagging' can lead to "Fragging".

The saying in the 60's was " kill a commie for Christ". According to some of you ; the new call should be " frag a transvestite for Christ." Pathetic

[45-70.gov]

so  how  is some one   ...not sure if they are a man or a woman
ever  pass a psyciatric exam???


they can want acceptance all the want
i sure hope they never get it


shooting some one over sexual preference  is MURDER
and should be inforced


i think generals should make these calls.....NO ONE ELSE....not even us
