No, I am saying that one who has not served on the front lines should not question the experiences of one who has.  Hound certainly has every right to voice her opinion but if she hasn't been on the front lines she isn't qualified to challenge the opinion of one who has.

I find it very troubling but I will agree with Hound that times have changed and there is more acceptance of homosexuality with the current generation than mine, but I also believe - as backed up by conversations with some active duty Marines I have come in contact with lately through my job, that there is still a significant element - especially among our hard core ground combat forces - that has utter disdain for homosexuals.  That is why the Commandant of the Marine Corps and the Chief of Staff of the Army have objected to the DoD study results.

Please also remember that the two services who disagreed with the CJCS and SecDef are the ones with ground combat forces.

I also wonder if the CJCS, in his position and statements on the matter, hasn't bowed to a political position and said "yes sir" to his boss a little too quickly and easily.

In any case it is what it is and the USA and USMC will comply.  My opinions, Hound's opinions, your opinions, Goofie's opinions don't matter.  It is now the law of the land and we will move on.
