General Pace is hardly outrageous. It is the TRUTH. Homosexual acts are acts of grave depravity, and are contrary to natural law. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
However, many men and women do not choose their homosexual condition; for most of them it is a trial. Unjust discrimination must be avoided. These people are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition. Basically they are called to chastity. Military policy is both just and consistent.
These days it is forced on them from childhood. They are denied the right to grow up in a proper normal enviroment and learn what is natural and good by design.
This is human conditioning, much like what Hitler was doing, except now it's being done by gay and lesbian Marxist/Democrats
