I’m a military retiree (Air Force) who lives in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and I had a front-row seat for last week’s “Kiss Heard Round the World,” between two lesbian sailors at Little Creek. One of them is a Petty Officer on the USS Oak Hill, which was returning from deployment. Her “partner” is a sailor on another vessel ported at Naval Station Norfolk, as a recall. The returning lesbian won the ship’s lottery to be first on the pier and share a kiss with her “girlfriend.”
Sadly, there was nothing illegal (under current DoD policy) with their little romantic display. What was more nauseating (to those of us who have served) was the Navy’s scramble to publicize the event.
When the Oak Hill docked and the lesbian petty officer puckered up, camera crews from all three local stations were on hand, along with reporters from the two local papers and the Associated Press. While many military homecomings are covered by the local media, I haven’t seen that level of attention in quite a while. And everyone knew that had the lottery winner been a heterosexual sailor, there would have been little interest or publicity. But because the petty officers were openly gay, it became front-page news around the world. I even saw the kiss a second time on “NBC Nightly News” where Brian Williams used the incident to illustrate how well the repeal of DADT is going.
As I’ve said in other posts, the real impact of this “policy change” won’t be felt for several years, until the economy finally improves. At that point, service members with marketable skills and experience will vote with their feet and abandon the PC military, which is becoming more interested in activist agendas than training and readiness.
The impact will also be felt in recruiting; most of today’s recruits come from the south and the far west, and most embrace traditional values. Many of them will shy away from serving in a military that openly embraces homosexuality. And if past recruiting trends are any indication, the armed forces won’t be able to make up the difference in places like San Francisco and New York.
I work on a miltary installation. I swear I have seen emails requiring people to attend “sexual assault bystander” training.

The elites want to drive our country into the sewer. I don't know what we can do to stop it and turn it around at this point. Even many on FR are on the wrong side of the moral chasm.
