Combat troops to get gay sensitivity training
Washington Times ^ | Feb. 24, 2011 | Rowan Scarborough

American combat troops will get sensitivity training directly on the battlefield about the military’s new policy on gays instead of waiting until they return to home base in the United States, the senior enlisted man in Afghanistan said Thursday.

The Pentagon is launching an extensive force-wide program to ease the process of integrating open homosexuals into the ranks, including into close-knit fighting units.

Army Command Sgt. Maj. Marvin Hill, the top enlisted man in Afghanistan where 100,000 U.S. troops are deployed, said that the sessions on respecting gays’ rights will go right down to the forward operating bases, where troops fight Taliban militants.

“I have heard about the training that will be forthcoming to the battlefield,” Sgt. Hill told Pentagon reporters via a teleconference from Kabul.

“We will take our directions from the Department of Defense, from the secretary of defense, the chairman, as well as the service chiefs of each service. Our plan is to take their direction, and we’re going to execute that training right here on the battlefield.”

No unit is exempted, he said.

You know who's gonna be the most uncomfortable people in the room? The gay guys.

I went to Basic and OCS with guys who were obviously gay. No one said anything about it. Everyone made fun of everybody. Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, inner-city punks, hicks. Everybody got ripped on. Except the gay guys. It was unspoken that if you made fun of them, they would go to the cadre and you would be screwed. But in the end we were all brothers.

This is not going to go over well.

He says that many, many troops feel this way but with the shaky economy, they’re not sure they can make the kind of money out of the military that they make in, so they stay, but just putting in time.

I'm actually glad to hear that. We need the good men to stay in until we're on the other side of Obama.

Not that the Republicans are any better on this issue. Honestly, I don't think we can turn things around in this country unless we elect a strong, take no prisoners, military man in 2012.

We are approaching the breaking point on many fronts at the same time.

I’d rather have half blind, half-deaf guys doing our fighting for us instead of these panzy-faced faggots.

OK, that makes sense... CQB training,combat marksmanship, Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT), tactical formations, land navigation, fitness, range time, small unit tactics, cross training for weapons for your MOS, maintenance, cold weather training, jump training, mountaineering, sat/nav, communication training, combat first aid/rescue, advanced warfare school.... oh and of course gay sensitivity training.

total and complete disrespect for the CIC, SecDef and every flag officer that pushes this. The men will do the tasks, learn to mouth the words and then know in their hearts that their leaders have NO HONOR.

The three legs of our country destroyed by the democrats and quislings.... economy, education and our military.

All we need is TOFUS standing over a toppled statue of Liberty with a banner stating..." MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"

We see a lot of former military guys in the oil patch—they are used to difficult conditions, long hours, and weather. Some mighty good hands come this way from there. Just saying that might be a direction to consider, especially for a younger person.

A reply of mine on another thread might be appropriate here as well...

America's Re-education Camps
In the controversy over Martinez's expulsion, one aspect of the unsavory incident is often ignored. Or, perhaps, it has become so commonplace that no one remarks upon it any more. Namely, the university sentenced Martinez to penance through a public confession and to the re-education of his values through psychological therapy. The purpose of the mandatory training -- whether it is anger management, sexual harassment awareness, diversity training, etc. -- is to change a human being's basic values to conform with the PC view of race or gender.
Snip...On university campuses today, the slightest remark can cause a "offender" to be sentenced to public confessions and "re-education" of their values.

A lengthy 5 page read mentioned in the article...Thought Reform 101
Keep in mind this was published in March 2000...

The goal of such training, according to Amirall-Padamsee, is "to produce graduates who are individuals committed to educational and social justice, and not just a tolerance of, but a validating of difference."

I would imagine that any field you go into that has tons of people will give you the mandatory sensitivity training. Now adays HR runs the companies. I just don't see the military folks leaving for this when as soon as they walk into Merck they will have the same training. The gay agenda is very alive and powerful in more places than just the military.

the sessions on respecting gays’ rights

The homos will be granted special rights, bank on it. And the "transgendered" freaks will be next. The U.S. is heading full-bore down the cultural drain.

100 percent agree which is why the military will say this is a success. They could not have picked a better time to implement this.....the economy is horrible. The military has more people than they need and throw this in and people won’t be able to leave.....yet. This will only become a problem when the economy bounces back and by then they will just blame the economy and GI Bill.

The next Republican nominee should promise that as her first order of business, the troops will be told to disregard all training ordered by Obama.

Damn, so this likely includes Guard units as well... This stuff'll probably be about as bad as sexual harassment/EO/suicide awareness training.

The troops should flip the bird to whoever is holding these so-called “sensitivity training” sessions.

No - that would be sexual harassment in the workplace...

"the shaky economy"
Perhaps the powers-that-be bank on their ongoing homosexual promotion to serve as a distraction from their EPIC FAIL economy.
