That’s untrue.

Since opposing DADT repeal one half year ago, Marine Corps Commandant General James Amos has reversed his position 180 degrees, and publicly said so. After addressing 12,000 Marines in late December, on 18 February 2011 he reported that, “everyone said, ‘Sir, we got it. We’re going to do this thing.’” (Source: http://www.marines.mil/unit/hqmc/cmc/Documents/110218%20Defense%20Writers%20Group%20Breakfast.pdf).

In April, Amos confirmed to Congress that he’s had no indication he will lose any personnel at all, when he and other DoD officials testified that the imagined resistance from personnel had never materialized, and that all DADT repeal training classes had been successful, with no problems or issues.

In less than 2 weeks, the Marine Corps will be the first of the 5 branches of the U.S. military to completely finish DADT repeal training. We have nothing to complain about any more regarding GEN Amos.

Community efforts are best channeled into replacing Rep. Hunter (R-CA).
