That actually sounds about right. Joel Send a noteboard - 21/09/2011 08:17:02 PM
Congress: So, we're thinking about taking away DADT.

USMC: NO! We don't want any gay people in the marines! We will now hold our breath and do push-ups until you change your mind.

US Army: Whatever. Everyone in the Air Force is gay anyhow...

US Air Force: No, we're not! You're thinking about the Navy!

US Navy: You just hate say so because we have these fabulous uniforms and yours look like something the cat dragged in. Does this aircraft carrier makes us look fat?

A passage of time...
Congress: We did it anyway, so now you'll have to accept gays.


US Army: Oh, well, I guess there'll be some friction, but it'll work out for us. But the marines... they'll throw a shitstorm now I guess.

US Air Force: Yeah, some gay guys will try for it, something will go FUBAR and they'll sue and the whole USAF reputation will go down in the sink.

US Navy: I think they're just afraid to face their own sexuality.

USMC(Stops doing push-ups, takes a deep breath): The Marine Corps? Tarnishing the USAF reputation? AFRAID? MARINES ARE NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING! WE'LL SHOW YOU! we're going to have the best gays! Our gays will crush the army's gays! We'll show you! OOORAAAH! SEMPER FI! SEMPER FI!

For once, I have nothing to add except chuckles of agreement.

In my imagination it went down something like this: Lews_TherinThelamon - 21/09/2011 04:22:08 PM 513 Views
Something went wrong here... Lews_TherinThelamon - 21/09/2011 04:23:04 PM 419 Views
There could be some truth to that random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:34:36 PM 492 Views

I thought nothing could make the Swedish "dress blues" look worse than it already does. Lews_TherinThelamon - 21/09/2011 04:40:08 PM 408 Views

Well, you can worry about what might happen. Lews_TherinThelamon - 22/09/2011 09:17:02 AM 413 Views
and how much actual combat have these units seen? random thoughts - 22/09/2011 02:40:50 PM 516 Views
Sweden has not been involved in many hot conflicts during those years, no Lews_TherinThelamon - 22/09/2011 05:04:26 PM 517 Views
The real test will be when a country with a non-discriminatory military fights a major war. Joel - 22/09/2011 04:00:12 PM 623 Views
The other branches could benefit in a lot of ways by trying to emulate the Marines random thoughts - 22/09/2011 03:25:16 PM 526 Views
Probably. Joel - 22/09/2011 04:33:49 PM 483 Views

no Joel the rheotoric is all you random thoughts - 22/09/2011 10:45:29 PM 392 Views
Quoting someone is not rhetoric; I am honestly flabbergasted that we are still debating that fact. Joel - 22/09/2011 11:12:29 PM 593 Views
I thought there was a reason I loved The USMC. *NM* StarrBecca - 21/09/2011 08:39:50 PM 200 Views

"I bet you could suck a golfball through a garden hose" was NOT a compliment? Joel - 22/09/2011 11:25:43 PM 537 Views
The only really great thing about that movies is he sounded so much like a drill instructor random thoughts - 22/09/2011 03:01:13 PM 536 Views
I doubt the sort of person who is interested in the Marines will particularly care about being PC *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2011 10:34:11 PM 192 Views
no but they care a lot about having PC forced on the them which happens all the time random thoughts - 22/09/2011 10:41:13 PM 407 Views
That's because he was a USMC drill instructor. Retired. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 23/09/2011 10:06:17 PM 169 Views
