Yes, Repealing DADT Is Just Like Hitler

This sort of reactionary tripe was perhaps inevitable:

A small group of German officers opposed the loyalty oath to Hitler despite great political pressure. They courageously honored and respected the moral and institutional values they represented and knew to be right. We who are Marines are proud to see that our commandant has shown similar courage in the face of political pressure to allow avowed homosexuals to become Marines.

A cold chill shivers down the spines of men when they contemplate the physical acts of homosexual behavior. It is important the American people know that their Marines, and our commandant, have spine enough to notice and oppose this folly. I hope they will honor the many generations of Marines who sacrificed for American freedom and will remember to vote for and support those who will work to “keep our honor clean.”

That’s an actual letter published in The Washington Times by a retired Marine colonel named Art Corbett, who probably commanded gay Marines and perhaps was commanded by them.
