Marine commandant repeats his opposition to scrapping DADT

Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos is sticking to his guns in opposing gays and lesbians serving openly in the military, warning Tuesday that a change now in current policy could pose a deadly distraction on the Afghanistan battlefield.

“I don’t want to lose any Marines to a distraction,” Amos said in a roundtable discussion with journalists at the Pentagon.

“I don’t want to have any Marines I’m visiting at Bethesda (Naval Hospital) with no legs as a result of any type of distraction. So that’s where I come down on this.” A recording of the Amos comments was provided to CNN by the military newspaper, Stars and Stripes.
