Well the bill that allows gays to serve openly in the Military has passed and was signed into law.
No more "Don't ask Don't tell".
But what this really has done is cause confusion in the ranks that could easily cost Marine lives.
You know that Marines are trained to immediately obey orders.
So just imagine......................
You're a Marine...... in a combat situation, an enemy soldier is firing at you, and running toward your position.
The guy next to you is openly gay.
Then your Squad Leader yells out.......... "Shoot the cock sucker!"
Do you see the confusion here?

Alberta Canuck"Friendly" fire is now known as "Buddy" fire, and can be authorized by the squad leader no less....
It's good exercise to keep the troops clean and fit to fight.
