He was fired because he gave his opinion of non-reproducing-same-sex-activity.
That’s a fool’s answer. It’s just as reasonable to say that he wanted out of the job and said this deliberately
In the interview in Chicago, Pace chose to say what he said. He could have said that the law is the law and he supports the law, but he chose not to. In fact, he said that he knew he was going to get ino trouble with what he was going to say.
To the larger issue, those who say he was canned because of the gay comment are dreaming. The issue with the Dems is the war - they dont want us to be there, they dont like the way its being run, and they dont anyone associated with Rummys War. Pace is just the next person to fall because of it.
Again, because we dont know what advice he gave to Rummy/Gates vs what they did, we cannot say for sure that Pace shouldnt have been canned.
