Alert! Common Sense and Spine sighting in Washington DC!!!

This story will send the LGBT Lobby and the feminazi social engineers into orbit.

The head of the US Marines said on Thursday he opposed ending the ban on gays serving openly in the military, the first top officer to break openly with President Barack Obama over the issue. General James Conway told the Senate Armed Services Committee that he disagreed with Obama's plan to repeal the ban.

The important thing about this story is not that the General had the .........er, spine......to disagree with the President. The important point of the story is WHY he disagreed. Here is what he said........

Conway said the current policy worked and any bid to lift the ban should answer the question: "do we somehow enhance the war fighting capabilities of the United States Marine Corps by allowing homosexuals to openly serve?"

In other words, all the blather in Washington DC about whether Gays should openly serve or not, whether women should serve in combat roles or not, whether women should register for selective service or not, ARE THE WRONG QUESTIONS TO BE ASKING!

The question that our elected officials should be asking the Pentagon is "how best do we structure and equip our armed forces to best defend the United States of America!"

All the other questions are political posturing and useless social engineering.
