No opt outs

According to soon to be gone Sec/Def Gates, there will be no opting out from serving with homosexuals in the military. Marines and others now serving, will be required to fulfill their enlistments.
A Marines question is answered
"Sir, we joined the Marine Corps because the Marine Corps has a set of standards and values that is better than that of the civilian sector. And we have gone and changed those values and repealed the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy," the sergeant told Gates during the question and answer session.
"We have not given the Marines a chance to decide whether they wish to continue serving under that. Is there going to be an option for those Marines that no longer wish to serve due to the fact their moral values have not changed?" he asked.
"No," Gates responded. "You'll have to complete your ... enlistment just like everybody else."
"The reality is that you don't all agree with each other on your politics, you don't agree with each other on your religion, you don't agree with each other on a lot of things," he added. "But you still serve together. And you work together. And you look out for each other. And that's all that matters."

Which I am betting, will led to a mass exodus from the military as enlistments expire. Which is in keeping with the desires of this administration IMO.  What better way to cripple the military than to allow homosexuals to destroy it from within.
