(Arlington, VA) Army Brigadier General Tammy Smith has become the first openly gay flag officer to come out while currently serving in the U.S. military. She was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in a private ceremony which took place today at the Womens Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. BG Smith received her stars from her wife, Tracey Hepner.
For years, gay and lesbian generals and admirals were forced to hide their families in order to protect their careers. It is a great day for our military and for our nation when this courageous leader is finally able to recognize her wife for her support and sacrifice in the same way that all military families should be recognized for their service to our country, said Sue Fulton, a 1980 West Point graduate and member of the OutServe Board of Directors.
Any ideas on reversing all this? Even Romney is OK with it, how can the clear majority of Americans not have a voice in this?
PS: Sorry about source, so far its them and some blogs.
As if I give a smelly sceptic Obama.
Yeah, make our military a fag playground, wherein courage is redefined as being openly Loud, Proud and Queer.
For shame.
I’m actually surprised that it took so long after Obama’s announcement. Now suppose that General Smith was COL Jerry Sandusky’s CG and his victim was some 18 year old private. Would she court martial him? The world wants to know.

She looka like a man. :P
The US Military is being hollowed-out, gutted and polluted everyday.
Ping.
The next few years will bring more disgust and worse, IMO.
Couple of ugly man-broads.
If not cut at the bud, this will eventually result in an entire homosexual subculture within the military. Moral issues aside, this is terrible for unit cohesion and general battle preparedness.
We are ******!

The “wife” looks more like a husband.
Or does she claim to be the “husband”?
I have 2 years left and then i retire after 24 years of service. I weep for what we have become.
Lesbians - It ain’t like in the movies
Certainly hasn’t done the Catholic Church any good.
How many could there be? They are less than 2% of the population and not the type that would be scene as drawn to military service.
The fact that she is a woman who graduated West Point among the first of the militant ‘we can do anything a man can do’ feminists makes sense though.
What are they twins. Cripes they look alike.
‘’I will not lie, cheat, or steal. Nor will I tolerate those who do.’’ — I think this is part of the Officer’s Honor Code. Guess this Admiral’s honor is quite flexible.
Here’s the real story on this over-the-hill, 50 year old weekend “rainbow warrior”. She made damn certain she was going to be promoted to BG before she told the military that she was a dyke. She got promoted then said she was a dyke, then started parading her “wife” around. I guess she considers herself the “husband” in this sicko relationship. That’s the story. Instead of being made into some kind of hero, she should be discharged for lying for all the years she served, when being homosexual was against the UCMJ. That should be the story. This woman should be court-martialed. She’s a liar and brought dishonor on the US military.

So many idiots on this site were decrying service members who didn’t stand up against this “serve openly” crap. Now you see why. Career suicide for no reason whatsoever. Hell, I heard all about the “lesbian mafia” in the senior officer ranks back when I was a cadet. Let me re-iterate: we don’t speak out because NOBODY CARES WHAT WE THINK.
That is a great point.
Ok, how many of you guys reading this are surprised that the first one was a lesbian woman? I’m not.
THIS IS NOT AND I REPEAT NOT THE MILITARY MY UNCLES, FATHER, BROTHER AND HUSBAND SERVED IN.
If we do not keep Hussein obama from serving another four years we will no longer have a country that we knew...he will completely destroy America..
when I vote in November I will be voting for the AMERICAN THAT IS RUNNING...
Comrade Putin must laugh himself silly each day as Comrade Barack dismantles America from within and fans the flames of her demise.
And all the Hopey Changey fools can’t even figure out that anything is wrong.

I’m afraid it could be coming.
Don’t ask should never have been done in the first place.
The homostapo have been infesting the military and being promoted like mad in the last 3 years, . This admin is proting their anal sex and strap on sex like mad before they could be booted out and where is the GOP, ?
Where is talk radio for the most part?
Oh yea , they’re all cowards who refuse to stand up for conservative social issue for fear of pissing off their liberal pals in the media.
The military today is nothing but a PC crock and now they can have their anal sex orgies or have the officer take a liking to the young recruit.
Romney is a coward as is most in the elitist GOP and I’m sick of it.
We don’t base rights on how one has sex and how they get off.
She got through West point because she is a woman, she got her promotion for her homosexuality.
Fact is the military is not what it used to be and now much weakerand only us speaking up can force talk radio and the GOP to actually do something about this and grow some frigging balls/
American or not, Romney is on the record stating that he will not repeal this (nevermind his history of advocating for gay everything). Not saying I have a better candidate for you, just pointing out that voting for Romney will at best preserve the status quo.
Damn right.
Homoexuals nedd to shut up or getbooted out and for the media to say this is normal shows their ignorance and biased.
It’s frigging sick and if we had got Newt or Rick they would have oveturned allowing homosexuals to serve openly as well as cross dressers but instead we get this pansy , Romney who will do sod all because his north east advisors are all for this sick agenda.
I know I will sleep better tonight knowing that this Lesbian is on watch for me.
The one who already announced he is comfortable with this stuff?
I’m sure Hannity will be reporting this tonight like he always keeps us informed about the homostapom and their agenda and how they hurt , attack and boycott folks , YEA RIGHT .
It will be the usual crap of debt, liberals pals spouting their crap etc.
I knew it would be a woman when I saw the title. It is my unscientific observation that about half the females I serve with are lesbians -and I didn't need the DADT repeal to know who they were as most didn't go to any great lengths to hide it.
Close relative has 22 years on 1Dec12. Outstanding record, a real asset to the US Military. Relative can’t take it anymore! Relative said: “Frack’em! I’m out of here!”
to think we could have got Newt or Rick who would have done something about this crap and called out that bogus survey.
How the elitist GOP must be so proud to see their boy Romney getting advise from his pro homo agenda rowd.
Yeah, Santorum would be perfect, on this issue he is a true believer. Gingrich might be a little uncomfortable with moral issues given his past, but he would atleast put breaks on this. Heck, Huckabee would be better than Romney, atleast he is a social conservative.
Mainstream conservatives (even non-RINO’s) seem to be distancing themselves from the whole issue. Must be all those gay coworkers/friends/relatives.
The new policy is basically embrace the sodomy or keep quiet. Eventually it will be embrace the sodomy and get out. As an aside, I wonder if she’d be here at all if it were not for lowered standards to accomodate female participation in the military.
got that right.
I’m happy I did my time but still have pals serving over in Kabul who are so pissed off with all of this homo agenda crap that many are looking forward to leaving.
Sadly my oldest wanted to join the marines and carry the family tradition on but alas no more as I’m concerned.
The Royal Navy made buggery a death penalty offense because commissioned officers were sexually assaulting ship’s boys. Predation of the lower ranks by male and female superior officers and non commissioned officers can completely destroy the military. In today’s political climate, their criminal conduct will be overlooked if not openly encouraged.
ah you mean the usual ignorant comment like”I know a couple of them and they’re nice”
Yea , well a conman is always nice too to ones face.
It doesn;t mean I give up my views or think their fecal matter sex is OK and we should give them special rights.
The broad brush is that all the women are going to be lesbians, all the "thin" men will be f@ggots and the rest will be a giant Peace Corps with disability claims for PTSD, low back pain, vague neuropathies and only a small component will be warriors. They will be limited by ROE, unit political officers/JAG and thought police.
We need a good war to weed these maggots out. We have now corrupted our armed forces, police, education and legal system. The decadence and loss of any virtue will not reveal it's cost till we are in need of leaders and as a society face a challenge that requires self discipline and leadership.
Every last vestige of rule of law, honor, propriety and self control are gone.
What an unmitigated disaster this is going to be. I'm going to just pray that my kids and their kids stay as far from these pigs as possible. But there really is no safe haven. IF there was, these worms, these parasites will flock to it and make sure that it to is reduced to a pile of cr#p.
I’m not up to speed on US ribbons. Is there a medal for carpet munching ?
Agreed, and I would add, virtually all of them would not have been there were it not for the lowered standards and quota’s implemented to accomodate females in the service.
Yep-—this is all about subverting the most Christian and successful military in the history of the world-— (George Washington set Virtue and Christian Ethics as ESSENTIAL for a Great military—he kicked out sodomites-—they accosted, raped, seduced, and harassed other young men and created animosity, since they looked at men as only sex objects).
To remove God (Christianity) is essential to destroy the military. Machiavelli wrote about the military being the most important institution to keep power-—which has to PROMOTE VIRTUE because of the power, which can be so corrupting. Christian Ethics are the most perfect ethics (which allows freedom to all moral people, no matter what faith).
Republics will not survive if they do not “promote public Virtue”. This was stated by Montesquieu who said all governments-—to survive have certain things they HAVE to cultivate in the population. Tyrannical govt. have to cultivate Fear. Monarchy’s have to cultivate Honor.
Republics have to cultivate Public Virtue-—and forcing Sodomy—a Vice—is unconstitutional—since we have Rule of Law in a Republic-—we are under LAWS , NOT MEN——and this gross disregard for REASON and VIRTUE-—the two elements that determine JUSTICE and JUST LAW -—it a JOKE!!!!!!!!!
Marxists—threw out Virtue AND REASON in the schools-—they promote Vice-—pride in sodomy, etc.....to destroy and corrupt the Christian worldview of children, so when they grow up they believe any stupid lie—up is down—like two men can “marry”.
We need to get back to Rule of Law-—not this arbitrary “special rights” to sodomize and debase other human beings-—it is pure evil—and kicks OUT, both Reason and Virtue-—necessary for Justice (a Virtue).
Obama is not a traitor he is a foreign agent..
You must be an american to be a traitor..
Its probably Romney and John Roberts that are traitors..
Oh!.. and the entire staff of the White Hut..
Yeah, right...

So does she fly the Rainbow flag with a big Star on it?
maybe Drew but we’d think they would much more than this crap we have now running sadly
“The Royal Navy made buggery a death penalty offense because commissioned officers were sexually assaulting ships boys. Predation of the lower ranks by male and female superior officers and non commissioned officers can completely destroy the military.”
That is exactly the reason for forcing queer acceptance in our military.
