While I agree with Jonn Lilyea, whole-heartedly, \u00a0that the Dan Chois<\/a> of the world are-and should be- unwelcome in the military. \u00a0The distinction is that he wants to be GAY first, and an OFFICER second.<\/div>\n
I loved reading this NYT\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0article about Marine Corps recruiters who showed up at an “Equality Center,” following an invitation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Marines were the service most opposed to ending the \u201cdon\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell\u201d policy, but they were the only one of five invited branches of the military to turn up with their recruiting table and chin-up bar at the center Tuesday morning. Although Marines pride themselves on being the most testosterone-fueled of the services, they also ferociously promote their view of themselves as the best. With the law now changed, the Marines appear determined to prove that they will be better than the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard in recruiting gay, lesbian and bisexual service members.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
That’s how it is– or should be– for members of the military. \u00a0We support our country and our country’s laws. \u00a0Our personal views may conflict with the law of the land, but when \u00a0we wore that uniform, our personal views were left at the door. \u00a0THAT is what’s wrong with the activists, and the Dan Chois.<\/div>\n
So, we can get on blogs, talk to our families and fight, legitimately, for what we believe is right. \u00a0But the law is now the law and I admire the Marines for their\u00a0initiative.<\/div>\n
It’s important to note only THREE people were interested, female, and likely unqualified. \u00a0The whole point may already be moot.<\/div>\n
