The Army is moving to discharge a decorated combat pilot who intervened to stop two lesbian officers from showing what he considered inappropriate affection on the dance floor during a full-dress formal ball at Fort Drum, New York, in 2012.
Lt. Col. Christopher Downey, who was once assigned to the White House and completed tours in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, ended up being convicted administratively of assaulting a soldier trying to videotape the kissing and grabbing. Col. Downeys attorney, Richard Thompson, says his client merely pushed down the camera to prevent photos and video that could end up on social media.
Mr. Thompson said Col. Downeys commanding officer also convicted him of violating the directive that ended the ban on gays openly serving in the military....

Another Obamination. Defund the executive branch!
“A warrant officer had approached Col. Downey and complained that their prolonged French kissing, buttocks grabbing and disrobing of Army jackets violated Army rules against inappropriate displays of public affection while in uniform on base, his attorney said.”
“conduct unbecoming an officer”
(2) Nature of offense. Conduct violative of this article is action or behavior in an official capacity which, in dishonoring or disgracing the person as an officer, seriously compromises the officers character as a gentleman, or action or behavior in an unofficial or private capacity which, in dishonoring or disgracing the officer personally, seriously compromises the persons standing as an officer. There are certain moral attributes common to the ideal officer and the perfect gentleman, a lack of which is indicated by acts of dishonesty, unfair dealing, indecency, indecorum, lawlessness, injustice, or cruelty. Not everyone is or can be expected to meet unrealistically high moral standards, but there is a limit of tolerance based on customs of the service and military necessity below which the personal standards of an officer, cadet, or midshipman cannot fall without seriously compromising the persons standing as an officer, cadet, or midshipman or the persons character as a gentleman. This article prohibits conduct by a commissioned officer, cadet or midshipman which, taking all the circumstances into consideration, is thus compromising. This article includes acts made punishable by any other article, provided these acts amount to conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. Thus, a commissioned officer who steals property violates both this article and Article 121. Whenever the offense charged is the same as a specific offense set forth in this Manual, the elements of proof are the same as those set forth in the paragraph which treats that specific offense, with the additional requirement that the act or omission constitutes conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman.
(3) Examples of offenses. Instances of violation of this article include knowingly making a false official statement; dishonorable failure to pay a debt; cheating on an exam; opening and reading a letter of another without authority; using insulting or defamatory language to another officer in that officers presence or about that officer to other military persons; being drunk and disorderly in a public place; public association with known prostitutes; committing or attempting to commit a crime involving moral turpitude; and failing without good cause to support the officers family.
Obama is using the budget as a reason to purge from the military those he and his freak allies consider undesirable.
Hormonally charged hetero teenagers have more dignity and self control than these bitter, mis-wired predatory attention hos.
Lacking self respect and respect for others around them, they force civilized adults to set proper boundaries, then rely on thug government to punish anyone who repudiates their repulsive, publically inappropriate behavior.
Normal people don’t do that. Q.E.D.
With the military culture that the idiot left has created over the last 20 years, we are going to get our asses handed to us in the next big one.
Disgusting behavior; I’m really glad I’ve never been in the military.
Active Duty ping.
Russia and China must be laughing their asses off.
Only death would get you out of the service quicker than homosexulaity.
This is crazy.
looks kinda tame. The homosexuals in the Folsom Street fair parade nude...
That is where we are headed. The bad is chasing out the good.
The Plan is working perfectly...
“sorry gents. I would have left them alone. Let them have their fun.”
Heterosexual couples would not be allowed this sort of display at a military ball. It would be considered unseemly.
This is blatant favoritism for homosexuals.
People who have been on active duty recently can correct me if I am wrong.
Because, whatever you may think of Carter, it was never his intention to destroy the USA.
Guess he saw them as disrespecting the uniform, and had to act. Too bad for him.
I can’t even recognize the Army anymore. It’s that warped.
I’ve got a feeling we’re going to see a lot of “conscientious objectors” the next time we’ve got to go to war.
Yet the last time the phony fakir went to West Point the Corps essentially gave him the Silence. And øbola’s been on an anti-military tear ever since.
An Army of Lesbos? Is that the new Army motto? What a bunch of uncloseted perverts? Straights are seen as abnormal? Enlist under this PC pervert stuff? I think not.
If he is still around, he must be in conniptions at the faggotry and open parading of navy homos these days. I suspect sailors from my era feel about the same.
