And on what fading ray of pink-and-lavender sunshine do you base this feckless opinionation?

The fact that there is around 2.5 million kids plus a million adult volunteers - the overwhelming vast majority are not going to quit because of this change. It's just not going to happen. So yeah, the Boy Scouts will go on. Pointing out that the Boy Scouts aren't going to implode because of this decision doesn't mean I support it - which I most certainly don't. They allow open homo's in the US military now too. Many people predicted a mass exodus from the services and a disaster for the US armed forces. It didn't happen. The military goes on, patriotic American's still join. It was a harmful decision for the services and the people in it, but it didn't destroy the system.

It is entirely to early to say that allowing open homosexuals to serve in the US military has had no effect on recruiting and retention.

However there seems to be an dramatic increase of sexual assaults. And it is not just women that are being assaulted.

Letting openly homosexuals in the US military has been an unmitigated disaster. Homosexual rape is up 50% since allowing the sodomites to control young men. This is the little secret the liberal, fag loving media never mentions. The US military is a shell of it’s former self and unless the damages inflicted by the Marxist-in-chief are corrected and corrected fast, we will soon become a third world military. China is laughing.

While you're around the thread, are there any other facets of Left/Progressivism, Marxism-Leninism, and Stalinism that you'd like to point out to us as holding out shining hopes for America? Homonazism? Feminazism?

There are sure to be some sweet chunks in there somewhere.

There is no competition for our military. It is good, and it is not so good, but it is our military and the best in the world.

On the other hand, I believe several organizations are probably looking at the BSA’s terrible blunder as exactly that. Boys (and Parents just as importantly) have a growing list of organizations now to choose from.

The BSA messed up big. Historic even.
