For those that don't know...this is just another weekend for some Marines out on the town...this is an everyday happening...no big deal...until you consider that instead of happening out in town, its going to be happening on the base. In base housing. In barracks. Aboard ships. DADT repeal will be traumatic to the force.

Two Marines have been arrested on misdemeanor charges of assault.There are alot of pot smoking old timers and sissified men who have never served or even Chairmen who are approaching the end of their tenure and want to buttress their record against the fiasco in Afghanistan who are for the repeal of DADT.
Savannah police say a police officer was patrolling early Saturday morning when he saw two men running on Congress Lane. The Savannah Morning News reports that moments later, 26-year-old Kieran Daly was found lying motionless on a nearby street.
The Marines, 22-year-old Keil Joseph Cronauer and 23-year-old Charles Stanzel were arrested a short time later, police say. According to police, Cronauer and Stanzel said they were trying to get away from a gay man who was harassing them.
According to police, Daly said one of the suspects hit him because he thought he was winking at him.Police records state Cronauer and Stanzel were later released to Marine police.
If you do favor repeal, then you have to understand that the Marine Corps is the land of testosterone and bad attitudes. People will get hurt.
And those doing the hurting will end up in the brig. And when they return to civilian life and do the same crime, they will go to jail.
ReplyDeletethat's not the point cowboy.
ReplyDeleteoh and if you want to be a legal scribe about this then in a military setting the gay committed the act of sexual assault by making undesired and unprovoked sexual approaches against the Marines that defended themselves against his actions.
lastly, guess what. these cases are always decided by Commanders. these guys will get set free without a second thought.
who says the gay person made the sexual advance? is it possible the straight people "assumed" it because of their own personal bias?
ReplyDeletei've never winked at another man in my life.
ReplyDeletehave you?
Are you saying that a man winking at another man is common?
Someone winks at you - it's a crime? The crime was the beating. They had the option of walking away, but the Marines chose to run away after committing an assault. Pretty cut and dry, Cowboy.
ReplyDeletedon't blame the messenger. i'm to the point where the politically correct view of this is pretty obvious. i'm just giving you the cold hard facts.
ReplyDeletethe reality of it if you will.
i did a google search to find out whether winking is considered a pick up play in the gay community and it is.
i also read some of the comments on those websites and your opinion is common.
i'm just giving you the other side of the coin. if you don't like it 'oh well' but if you think the Marine Corps is the land of sunshine and candy then you're sadly mistaken.
fights happen all the time, and if you add other factors to it then its going to be trouble.
