Vets protest plan opening military to homosexuals

Vets protest plan opening military to homosexuals

Officer requests command relief over scheduled 'behavior modifications'

Veterans and active duty personnel alike are reacting harshly to the news that Barack Obama has signed the repeal of the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy, and one much-needed leader already could be lost to the military.

A lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army has confirmed to WND that he is asking to be relieved of the command of his squadron because of the new policy. And former combat personnel are telling WND that they are continuing to keep the pressure on Congress to reverse itself.

"I have already requested through my chain of command that I be relieved of command of my squadron prior to new policy implementation on grounds that my personal beliefs don't permit me to force the coming 'behavior modifications' training and other inevitable policies on my soldiers," the officer, whose name has been withheld, wrote to WND.

The statement highlights the question of whether soldiers themselves are ready to go along with the controversial social experiment imposed by Congress, or whether they'll carefully withdraw from command positions and troop ranks, pack their bags and leave the military.

Members of the military or veterans who have concerns about the policy change can send their stories to WND.

Earlier, during congressional debate over the radical Obama plan to make the military more "gay"-friendly, officials reported that 12.6 percent of the personnel, some 264,600 soldiers, said they would leave sooner than planned because of the change. Another quarter of a million said that would be among their options when considering their careers.

Because of the decision to allow homosexuals to openly serve, Many Church pastors I know are counseling their young men not to serve.

It’s a sad day for the country. A sad day...

I probably should have added, I don’t believe the 70% figure.

Or does my harasser suffer a fall going down the stairs? Or from a high point in the obstacle course?

Remember fragging from the Viet Nam War? It may return in a non-lethal from.

The DADT will never be repealed or over ruled because there aren't enough politicians with the balls to do It

They are lacking more than just b@lls, I think the whole organ is missing.

After 24 years in the active duty military I never thought DON ME NOW OUR GAY APPAREL would mean stand by for uniform inspection. Sorry I disagree with this repeal to the core of my military heart and dread the day WHEN it brings violence amongst MY troops, but levity was required.

The warrant.

Correct. It always comes back to us. That is the reason we could, if necessary, survive a thousand obamas. But we cannot and will not survive the people who put the obamas in power. I believe that it was Cicero that bsically said a Nation can survive anything but its traitors. And that is what happened to us in 2006, 2008, and 2010. Traitors to America put Democrats in positions of power in 2006. Traitors to America put Democrats in positions of power in 2008. Traitors to America returned some Democrats and elected others and re-elected some of their surrogates to power in 2010,including but not limited to: The Dearling of Alaska, John Mc Cain, Coons in Delaware. Boxer in California, Reid in Nevada.

The propaganda especially concerning obama now is,"I was fooled". Baloney! The one thing obama made clear when he was campaiging was what he intended to do to the United States. And every sob that voted for him agreed with him on this.

The perverts are sodomizing the country and the military. ABout 1% of the population now has access to the object of their deviant obsession. This is far more disgusting then young women being forced to cohabitate with men—at least the attractions are normal.

Back in ‘My Navy’ thieves and ‘do funnys’ used to fall UP the ladders on the way to their blanket party.
I guess ‘they’ figured they would get lucky now and then but more often than not they ended up with an a$$ kicking of sorts.

That would be where the ‘little darlings’ are put together on their way OUT of the Service.

Back in ‘my navy’, they would get to serve some time in the Brig, under the watchful eye of the Marine Guards and upon conviction, would get some kind of “Bad Paper”.
Oh, I am sure there was not much chance for ‘fraternization’ either, while in custody...

Just going from my Air Force boot camp experience when separating someone from the service, it could take days or in some cases weeks for the paperwork to get done. Those who were being separated due to being gay or other perversions were segregated in their own barracks at that time. Not so by the late 70s. One of the men in our flight injured his knee and was being processed out. When we got our first break some of our guys went to see him. He said he had to break one of his crutches over some fruit’s head who wouldn’t take no for an answer. Still think it was strange for a fruit to join due to us not having a draft anymore. This was way before DATD.

They joined AIR FORCE, In basic training they were found to be homo , and placed in an “out processing barracks” to be kicked out at the first opportunity.

Make your post to the conversation forum, not my email. Did you use the same argument when the homosexuals attempted to sodomize the Boy Scouts too? Why would any normal man defend rimmers and felchers? Are you homophilic?

Suggest you use your brain to assess the #1 vector for the spread of human infectious disease. Yes, #1 in HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis A&B, Chancroid, Herpes Simplex II, Gonorrhea, Venereal warts, etc. Check the CDC (that is the Center for Disease Control) site and learn the cost of deviant behavior.
