That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s called &#8220;training&#8221;, you big cry babies. No one takes an algebra class when they know all about algebra. Maybe we should have sensitivity classes for people who are serving in the military while they&#8217;re gay, so they can learn to be more tolerant of straight people during this transition.<\/p>\n<p>It certainly sounds like they need it more than anyone else involved.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the taped session that Servicemembers United, a gay advocacy group, provided to HuffPost, a gruff gunnery sergeant states that most of the Marine Corps is against allowing gays to serve openly. But, like it or not, he says, the repeal is a lawful order and Marines follow orders. He then predicts a media circus the first time a Marine charges he or she has been assaulted because of his or her sexual orientation. He warns the group in a tone that suggests he doesn&#8217;t altogether approve that the days of ribbing others as &#8220;fags&#8221; are over.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, so now we get to judge people&#8217;s intentions based on their &#8220;tone&#8221; as it&#8217;s perceived by the aggrieved? Then it&#8217;s all over. The gays are never going to be happy&#8230;be prepared for the perpetual bitching. <\/p>\n<p>TSO tells me he ran into Dan Choi at the airport the other day. I hope I never get put in that position.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Huffington Post, Gay &#8220;Rights&#8221; Groups (whatever that means) complain the soldiers and Marines aren&#8217;t &hellip; <a title=\"That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s called &#8220;training&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=23450\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s called &#8220;training&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23450\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
