Marines Get Trained on Accepting Gay Recruits

As the U.S. Military prepares to allow gays to openly serve, ending a policy commonly known as "don't ask don't tell," men and women in uniform are being trained on what to expect and how to handle the change. (April 28)

this video makes me glad i didnt join the military in retrospect. Im not even gay but couldnt live amongst that much bigotry and narrow mindedness.

@scathomancer I'm unsure what you were trying to express here. Next time please step back for a moment and logically think through, in addition to spell check, and then continue. However to counter the point you’re attempting to make, Christianity is peaceful and yet they still don’t accept murder, pedophilia (for the most part… insert Catholic joke now), rape, queers, ect. because it is morally and naturally wrong As for being raked across the coals by bloggers mere paper cuts.

@acerima1 While I'll admit it was childish of me to insult you, I haven't even heard a valid argument from you against openly serving gays in the military. Even old vets admit that gays and lesbians served around them throughout their time in the army. You're making false assumption based off your subconscious fear of them, and you try to rationalize it with half-baked arguments. The real reason behind your distrust of them is your either Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual or religious. Grow up.

@DalionNeilHeart You want to know what I love most about liberals, especially those that have made comments on here defending queers. Not one has made a logical argument defending their stance. It has all been name calling like a little child. But, as someone who has served in the military for several years, and continues to do so in the combat MOS’s they are not welcomed. You must remember we don’t hate them, we just view what they do as an aberration that will destroy the unit

i think it's funny to note after watching this video that religion is a choice while sexual orientation is not.

@curtmastor To be fair, they only showed people who didn't like the change. I'm sure that there are many people in the military who are open minded.

@acerima1 So is being stupid, but you don't see us trying to ilegalize ignorance. You're welcome.
