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.

“My worry is that at some point, many will say, “This country ain’t worth fighting for anymore”.”
Legalized reverse discrimination has done that for plenty of people; let the freaks who run the show go defend it. Between Saddam and Obama I’d rather Saddam was our president.
Priorities! We all know what they are for the big 0.
Placemark and hoping it’s all a bad dream and I’ll wake up and it will never have happened.
“Nowadays 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.”
True about HR “running the companies”; odd for a department that historically was a place to employ low-skilled relatives of people higher up the corporate ladder. Deep down even the big companies know that on any day their homosexual employees can be arrested at a rest stop on their way to work; they are just unstable (part of the mental illness). Merck has many jobs in NJ; even our GOVERNOR was doing that stuff.
“On university campuses today, the slightest remark can cause a “offender” to be sentenced to public confessions and “re-education” of their values.”
The natural result of that is tribalism in which people just stick with like-minded others who look like them, speak like them, and eat the same kind of food as them. Kind of counter to what the universities’ stated goals are, no? I enjoy studying different parts of the world, but the PC nonsense has me secretly beaming with pride that our students today think Outer Mongolia is somewhere out past Pluto. All learning (outside of the limited parts needed to earn a living) basically stopped just as they wrested control of the agenda...
Colonel West!
One tough thing for these people reaching their 20 years is that many of the jobs that gave preference to veterans aren’t available anymore; much government hiring at all levels has not only stopped, but the workforces are now contracting.
The loss of talent will not be made up by recruits coming in under looser standards for different reasons than those who are leaving initially joined.
I'd like to see some of the senior leadership in theater tell those guys back in Washington that they're just not going to do this.
I love our troops and I enjoy working with the military, but one thing I despise is the ass-kissing mentality that prevails.
If just a few of the senior leaders would enlist some backbone and tell the SECDEF and others how stupid this is, it would very likely get some traction.
Henceforth all care packages will contain soap-on-a-rope
In other words, special treatment for the pervs......
My worry is that at some point, many will say, “This country ain’t worth fighting for anymore.”

Whose kidding who?... There IS a civil war in this country, there’s just no shooting going on.
Nobody has put on uniforms, but the sides are being drawn... When Saudi melts down like Egypt, and gas goes to $6 a gallon and stays there... in six months this country will come unzipped faster than a cheap whore on Bourbon street.... Then the sides will become VERY clear.
“Bumfodder”..
“Sensitivity” training. I’d be real sensative about re-upping.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD I RETIRED IN 1999!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD I RETIRED IN 1999!!
General to Private “ Police this area soldier”.
Private to General “ Shove it up your Ass”
General “What’s did you say soldier”
Private “It’s a gay expression sir, just practicing what we learned in our last training session”
General “ Carry on”
Squad leaders..have em take the point!
Well lets see how our gay friends like the way our conquerors treat them.
Already special treatment for the homosexuals.
