95% of Marines uncomfortable serving with openly gay troops

[Zoom-boing]

What will you people say when the study is finished and most of the troops say they dont care?

Then why not just leave it up to the military to decide what works best for the military?

I'm going to say "oh shucks".

 

[Leweman]

Wasn't Audie Murphy gay?

 

[RadiomanATL]

Seems that most of the military personnel are "eh, who cares" when it comes to gays openly serving in the military:

Most troops wouldn't oppose serving with gays

 

[Sunni Man]

Wasn't Audie Murphy gay?

Nope

 

[editec]

I don't doubt that a large percentage of Marines are uncomfortable with the thought of serving with homosexuals.

I also don't doubt that a large percentage of servicemen were uncomfortable with the thought of having to be stationed with and barracked with Negros.

Life is often uncomfortable like that.

No normal Marine want's to be in a combat situation and hear a gay marine say to him, "don't worry, I got your back".

Would a wounded Marine turn down care from a gay medic?

Wasn't Audie Murphy gay?

Gomer Pyle was gay

 

[Sunni Man]

I would NEVER want a homo medic to treat my wounds.

It would be too much of an irony.

To survive a combat wound.

And later die of AIDS contracted from a gay medic.

 

[rightwinger]

This general is LYING his ass off

The General is a bigger homophobe than the troops that serve under him

ALL Soldiers are currently tested for AIDs. What is your next argument?

A person can have a newly acquired AIDS infection and not have it show up for several months during testing.

Troops are younger than most segments of society.

The young people in this country know homophobia is a hangover from past generations

Here's a clue for ya'.

Treating wounds does not involved sharing body fluid with the patient.

Of this I speak with some experience.

 

[Truthmatters]

Sunni better never get medical treatment , lots of gay people dont advertise their gayness while they work.

 

[uscitizen]

Screw them. whiney asses.
Uncomfortable? What do the jackwagons expect? It is the Marines. It is not supposed to be comfiortable. War is never comfortable for the ground pounders. The only comfort is found in the ranks of those sending Marines to war and death.

does this mean the other 5% are gay? Or just reasonable people secure in their own sexuality?

Do you have any idea how much is spent in an effort to make our troops comfortable enough to do their job ? Poor morale will hinder any group effort. Aren't they already hamstrung enough by idiotic ROE ?

Yeah they do try and spoil these new troops compared to when I was in Nam.
Just another indication of the direction the USA is on.

A person can have a newly acquired AIDS infection and not have it show up for several months during testing.

and based on medical data it is not transferrable to others during this period except by transfer of body fluids.

True

But if the medic was wounded also or had an untreated bleeding cut on his hand.

The infection could easily be passed to the wounded soldier.

I'm going to say, "well then it's time to let the hetero men and women live and shower together too."

Why discriminate against them?
