Title: 95% of Marines dont want openly gay troops

As many as 95 percent of Marines would be uncomfortable serving alongside openly gay troops, the retiring commandant of the Marine Corps told Fox News in an exclusive interview.

Gen. James Conway told Fox News' Jennifer Griffin that a majority of his men and women think a repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy barring gays from serving openly will be problematic, so he has to believe that, too.

"When we take a survey of our Marines, by and large, they say that they are concerned that it will cause potential problems with regard to their order and discipline -- that it will impact their sense of unit cohesion," Conway said.

Who ever let common sense stand in way of "progress".  >:(

Obongo's lone "accomplishment" will be letting the homos serve in the military.

Wait I'm confused I thought Obama was for DADT.  Didn't he say this a few days ago?  Or do I have it backwards?
