Marine Corps Commandant Suggests Repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Could Lead To Casualties

The Washington Post reports that the "Marine Corps' top general suggested Tuesday that allowing gays to serve openly in the military could result in more casualties because their presence on the battlefield would pose "a distraction."

"When your life hangs on the line," said Gen. James F. Amos, the commandant of the Marine Corps, "you don't want anything distracting... Mistakes and inattention or distractions cost Marines' lives."
