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. Downey’s 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. Downey’s commanding officer also convicted him of violating the directive that ended the ban on gays openly serving in the military....

Rohm himself was gay, of course.

The 2014 vote said we are tired of this shiite.

The president said he don't give a shiite what you did he represents the two thirds of the voters who stayed home.

Ernst Rohm’s Brown Shirts were full of homos and perverts and they were the enforcement arm of the Nazi Party. They had no morals, just a lust for power.

That is where we are headed. The bad is chasing out the good.

The Plan is working perfectly...


If I recall correctly, didn’t Hitler purge them? Violently and permanently too if I recall correctly.

Plenty of comments followed the story on the WashTimes site. One of the best:
Reverse the trend? I am sorry but conservatives must do something other than post to reverse any trend.

He purged the leadership of the SA. That was Rohm and others.

Rohm had made quite a few intemperate comments that Hitler wasn’t being radical enough, fast enough.

Himmler and Goering despised Rohm and conspired to convince Hitler that Rohm was plotting a coup against him.

That is when Hitler did a preemptive strike against the SA leadership.

The best estimates are that somewhere between 280 and 500 people were killed.

The really scary thing is that with the NAZI propaganda machine in place, the purge was portrayed as a necessary act to save the country from a takeover.

Most people accepted that, and Hitler’s absolute power was cemented in place.

The one man who might have stopped Hitler at this point was President Hindenberg, but he sent Hitler a telegram of praise for his bold and energetic action to save the country.

Hindenberg was in his 80’s and died a few weeks later.

It was said that the population accepted the purge in part because the SA was the muscle, the enforcers, on the street, and they had become unpopular.

That display would not be appropriate at a military formal dress ball regardless of the sex of the participants.

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.

...nah, can’t happen...because half the army will be female, and we all now from watching films and tv that the average female can beat the crap out of the strongest man, all the while making breakfast for the kids and not smudging her lipstick...

There is only one way to stop the sodomistas. Fire and brimstone.

>>This is crazy.

This was predictable.

Romans 1:25...

“Because of this, God gave them over”

Because of what?
Gave them over to what?
