I predict Civil War II between the Red and Blue states. I also predict that the Red State Confederate Army will not be homsexualized.
Put a fork in America. It’s over.
I wonder how our gay military will fare when facing Russians or Chinese?
I was really struck by his comment because he generally never comments about current affairs and because he's always been proud of his service in the Marines. Last night, I saw that this truly hurt him. The freaks are destroying this Nation.
Speaking a conservative who is an ardent secularist, what is the problem with homosexuals in the military?
The Israeli army allows openly gay individuals to serve, and I doubt anybody would question their capability.
The Picture of the two recruiters telling one lesbian she will have to lose weight is classic.
One can almost see Hillary Clinton standing there and being told that the Marines don’t accept dogs.
So here’s the thought I keep coming back to: God is in control of everything that happens in this world. I don’t know why, but he’s allowed the gays to get into the U.S. military, and he’s slowly allowing more and more states to recognize gay marriage. Why? I can’t speak for him, but he’s all knowing so I have to trust him. Is he punishing America? Is he preparing America for some giant change in the world? Has he chosen another nation to be his standard-bearer in the coming centuries while leaving America behind? If so, which nation? I don’t know. I may not understand it and I may not like it, but I have to trust he knows what he’s doing. The question for me is to discern what he wants me to do in light of what is happening in the world.
As much as I disagree with this decision to permit homos serving openly, Conduct unbecoming is still Conduct unbecoming. PDA is still PDA.
If the homos think they’re going to receive special consideration in these regards, they’re in for a rude awakening. The UCMJ is written in such a way that any and all “sexual persuasions” are covered.
As a retired 1st Sgt., I can say that if I witnessed 2 homos in a PDA situation (while in uniform), I would take the appropriate actions. Same thing with “off-duty” incidents such as “unwanted sexual advances”. They would be viewed as sexual harassment.
We prosecuted heteros for adultery, underage sex, etc. There is nothing to prevent prosecution of homo’s under the same.
They don’t “own” the military and the vast majority of commanders and 1st Sgt’s will do what is necessary to maintain good order and discipline. If a homo can’t keep their sexual desires under control, they’ll be dealt with.
Again I ask the Gov, how do they Prove they’re gay in court?
The Marines in this story are following orders. Lawful orders? Yes. Orders that are prejudicial to good conduct and order of the USMC? Yes. How are the two reconciled?
Will there be barracks justice as others on this thread have suggested? Yes. Will there then be recriminations against those who committed such acts? Yes. Will that lead to disharmony and disaster? Yes.
Will that disharmony hurt USMC combat effectiveness? I believe so. The Marine Corps will carry out its orders. One of the things to consider in light of DADT being repealed is that if the openly gay lifestyle is 'normalized' within the USMC the premise of following lawful orders that are contrary to the moral underpinnings of our society will undermine the check on government power that our citizen soldiery has always represented.
Anyone who believes that our military forces will not fire on US Civillians who oppose government policies, if given the order to do so, is living in a dream world. Furthermore, those of us who have gone before and lived and created the legacy of our armed services have essentially empowered this circumstance.
The implementation and the repeal of DADT is an assault on America and our Constitution. It is exactly contrary to the concept of Semper Fidelis. We the citizens who have allowed this to occur are not only culpable, we are responsible.
