In Case Of Kissing Marines...

In a scare piece headlined "Military Indoctrinated On Gays Kissing," today's Washington Times notes the below scenario as laid out in a Marine Corps guideline to the repeal of DADT.

“Situation,” it begins. “You are the Executive Officer of your unit. While shopping at the local mall over the weekend, you observe two junior male Marines in appropriate civilian attire assigned to your unit kissing and hugging in the food court. “Issue: Standards of Conduct. Is this within standards of personal and professional conduct?” The answer to Marines: “If the observed behavior crosses acceptable boundaries as defined in the standards of conduct for your unit and the Marine Corps, then an appropriate correction should be made. Your assessment should be made without regard to sexual orientation.”

The comments on the above-linked article are pretty much what you'd expect.
