    if you are distracted by a gay man, or a lesbian... YOU'RE TO BLAME! if you are so weak-minded as to be distracted during a combat mission... YOU'RE TO BLAME!

    It is really simple.

    A more prominent risk to lives is the thick climate of homophobia swirling all throughout the military.

    Does he think that marines are going to shoot each other because some are openly gay or something. Because that's what I read him saying >_>

    I don't know, but here's another sickening comment from a former soldier on The Hill about it:

    I was like, are you advocating for the murder of your fellow soldiers, should they come out as homosexual? Seriously?

    What i don't understand is how the marine who says something like this isn't the problem but the one who is gay is.

    ^ Or why we collectively brush it off as a nation when our soldiers are caught ON TAPE callously laughing as they machine-gun innocent people to death, but you can get thrown out of the same army entirely just for holding your lover's hand.

    I really don't understand the society into which I was born. At all. It boggles my mind. Screw gender, it's enough to make someone switch species.
