Marine Times: 26th MEU battalion commander fired during deployment over equal opportunity concerns
An infantry battalion commander sacked in the middle of a deployment with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEU, was at least partially fired for allegedly using a term that could be disparaging to members of the LGBTQ community, Marine Corps Times has learned.
Following a vandalism incident during a port call visit by the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock New York in Gaeta, Italy, Lt. Col. Marcus J. Mainz, the commander of 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, allegedly used the term “faggot" or “faggoty” during a meeting with the 2/6 Battalion Landing Team leaders, multiple sources have told Marine Corps Times.

WNU Editor: R. Lee Ermey and others like him would definitely not be welcomed in today's Marine Corps (see below video).

Lt. Col. Marcus J. Mainz has created LGBTQ as has almost every other person alive.
It is wonderful that the Marines have such a high profit margin that they can have an equally high a scrap rate. 6 Sigma and other initiatives must not apply to these Olympeans.
The Marine brass got it wrong. There is no such thing as LGBTQ. It is LGBTQIAPK+, where the plus sign means some longer string of nonsense letters. The brass should get with it and figure out the American psycho-social landscape. If they cannot do that, how can they win wars? Maybe they can talk to The Foundation on the east coast.
LGBTQIAPK+ should try to come up with honest biological and neural explanation regarding LLGBTQIAPK+. They can't, but they should try. If AI ever wipes out humanity, one of the top 3 reasons will be the insanity of LGBTQIAPK+
What a joke, Australian brass has also banned writing offensive slogans on ordnance, CoD style bandanas, readers etc.

I have a feeling that if this nonsense gets any further there is enough support behind Trump sweeping this silliness into the wastebin of history. Then this movement would depend on individual initiative which would result in yet another tooth fairy going down in flames.
There's a guy out here where I live. He has to be a brave soul to wear makeup and short shorts in a Marine town and to top it off he's getting long in the tooth. At his age there's no hiding reality. He knows I keep bees and when I see him at the 7-11 I'll sit down and we talk for awhile about bees and whatever. I give him credit. He's a brave one to head into the market and do his shopping. But the bottom line is this; #1, he won't be crawling through my bedroom window and stealing my TV when I'm gone, and #2, this is America. He's ok by my book. And the Marines? No incidents, he says.
So there ya go. He's accepted and part of the scenery. Silly, posturing, self righteous politicians and their legislation or not.
