This is to the Haters, Racists, Homophobes, and guys who like to beat women. You know, "macho men". Computer tough guy types.

I knew a gay Marine who took a GODDAMN bullet and DIED for his fellow Marine. For you so called 'straight" fellows, Would and could you do the same? Nah, it's because somebody else, a gay man, did something YOU, the macho so called "straight" would NEVER have enough balls to do. But HEY, at least you're tough on youtube. THAT must take alotta ballz! WOW!

LGBT or straight, anyone who can shoot well can kill well. They should abolish this stupid law.

@thesephman Gays served all the time and they respect their marines, they would never hit on anyone. Straight marines release their tension by speaking up with others, why should gays not be allowed of that. What's with the double standard, is it because you think gays are just stronger men??? They are like any other men, they worry, they need to feel accepted and relaxation times. They can't be relaxed and serve as good if they feel strangled. It all does good for the whole military.

@thesephman Marines gonna feel weird? What are they some pussies? We are talking about real men serving for the country, praying to come back home soon. And every each of them outs same effort and is equally good. What is so special about straight marines then? Unless they were ladies well ok...I would then be more tolerant of feeling smth weirder, but come on are you joking?

@thesephman DADT doesn't keep homosexuals out of the military, but it forces them to live in secrecy.  THAT'S hard. Other marine is uncomfortable? Tough.

[thesephman]

DADT was a great idea, now all the straight marines are gonna feel weird knowing that the guy sleeping next to him is gay

[ebonics4everyone]

Gay Marines would have been summarily discharged, given AWOL and shot for desertion, when my uncle was in the Korean War. RIP and Semper Fi, unc!

[ebonics4everyone]

Fags wussify the military

[dogdemon444]

Straight = Nazis

Gay = Jews

It like there taking every rights away they can get there hands on towards the gays... I thought this was America... The land of freedom and rights I guess America is just one big lie....

A woman loves weiner. A man loves a woman who loves weiner, we fight amongst ourselves but it all evens out. When you throw a man who loves weiner into the mix, the natural equation gets fucked up because the input is fucked up. If you want to put your penis in another man's rectum, then so be it. But don't put the 99% of straight servicemen/women at risk because you want your fucking "right." i am a marine corps grunt, and my sister is a combat camera in afghanistan. And although we think it's

[DeathToLiberalism]

When I was in the Corps we ran queers out if we found out about them. It was never tolerated. You knew the rules - no queers. If you lied and we found you out your queer ass was lucky to not get a beat down. Sick and tired of political correctness.This shit is a disgrace.
