    Guys,  Repeal Of Gay Ban Causing Few Waves In Military may not be causing visible waves, but I’m working a project at Pendleton and most of the younger Marines and several of the senior enlisted I work with (20-30) are saying this made the decision to leave the Corps after their current hitch real easy. See ya!

    Yeah. Remember, just because I post these links doesn’t mean we agree with them here at The Other McCain.
