US Marines Chief: 90-95% of Marines are homophobic, according to “informal polls”

Gen. James Conway told Fox News that “90 to 95 percent of the Marines” would be uncomfortable serving with openly gay Marines, according to his “informal polls.”

The polls Conway is referring to are impromptu surveys by a “show of hands” in town hall style meetings.

Conway is against repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, since he believes his Marines are.

Out of the 20,000 United States Marines in Afghanistan, he said he “wouldn’t hazard a guess” as to how many are gay. He said the number is probably in the “low single digits.”

It’s good to see that we have Genius General’s. A marine would not answer that question any other way when in groups or in front of a commanding officer. OMG.

Create a gay military, and make sure it’s better than the regular one =)

I actually like this guy, and would like to know more about his reasons for thinking the repeal of the ‘Dont Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy will negatively affect the Marines. The matter is not as simple as people would like to believe. Morality in the military, especially when a ‘time of war’ is perceived, is a tough subject.
