Just what some bigoted homophobic soldiers need to hear.
We likey Sgt. Maj. Michael Barrett. Gruff. No bullshit. To the point!!
"Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution is pretty simple,...It says, ‘Raise an army.’ It says absolutely nothing about race, color, creed, sexual orientation. You all joined for a reason: to serve. To protect our nation, right?...How dare we, then, exclude a group of people who want to do the same thing you do right now, something that is honorable and noble?...Right?...Get over it. We’re magnificent, we’re going to continue to be. … Let’s just move on, treat everybody with firmness, fairness, dignity, compassion and respect. Let’s be Marines.” --Barrett told his troops as all armed services prepare for the repeal of DADT.
