The Pentagon is launching an extensive force-wide program…

We are so far off the trail of common sense we can’t tell north from south.

Who is the real enemy here? Is it the Taliban and Al Qaeda or is it the straight soldier?

With all the indoctrination that the young get in school today about how the “alternate lifestyle” is ok. I’m wondering the same thing ... but from a different angle.

So, let's cut to the chase and sum up this "Training" and indoctrination:

Respect Gays = Affirm the gay lifestyle

Celebrate Diversity = CELEBRATE PERVERSITY

One thing the straight combat trooper can take comfort in will be the fact that there will frequently be a gay fellow ready to leap on his back to shield him from harm.(Even if they are just stateside in the barracks).

In the immediate moment, the troops should simply check out mentally during the lecture, ignore the propaganda and then proceed. Either that or get a good Pro Bono religious rights attorney to represent them and then demonstrate that their freedom of religion and rights are being trampled upon by an immoral agenda.

Then there's conscientious objection:

“...Service in the U. S. Marine Corps requires the loss of many liberties that civilians enjoy; especially, the right of association. Individual Marines cannot choose their leaders or with whom they will work and live. It is beyond governmental authority to force these Americans into situations that compromise their morals. The Selective Training & Service Act of 1940 permits the granting of Conscientious Objector status to “One who by reason of religious training and belief is conscientiously opposed to participation in war.” Little known is: People v. Stewart, 7 Cal. 143, “Conscientious Scruple. A conscientious scruple against . . . doing military duty, or the like is an objection or repugnance growing out of the fact that the person believes the thing demanded of him is morally wrong, his conscience being the sole guide to his decision . . . ” (Black's Law Dictionary). This “Conscientious Scruple” provision appears to give Marines of conscience a legal remedy for a morally compromising situation...”

Forget about it.

When we get the right Commander in Chief, sensitivity will become schmensitivity.

Did they get this idea from a Monty Python sketch?
