It flows down...the Marine Commandant is OPPOSED to this on "moral" grounds.

4. Yes, well, he's an known Oathkeeper type. |

The retired Marines I work with get these weird looks whenever he's mentioned. And yes, it flows from the top. All morale problems eventually are found to be from the top.

2. Older marines don't care- |
|
It's the younger ones that are raising the fuss. They think they've got to be manly to be warriors, and terrified of catching the gay. Of course, they don't realize that they're already serving next to gay marines. The older marines know, but they're become secure enough having gone through enough to know it doesn't matter.

3. Ain't no gay Marines..... |
|
... we know that's bullshit, don't we?
From 365gay.com "There used to be a gay bar just across the street from the Marine Barracks at 8th and Eye sts. The bar had two entrances. One faced the barracks the other was on the back side of the bar. You could count the marines coming into party. They had those cute hair cuts and used the back door."
Check out the gay bars in San Diego, CA. They stay in business thanks to the Marine base down the road.
Unless the Corps has changed since I was in, those guys would have sex with anybody/anything.
