James, who never served in the military, was appointed to a Defense Department ..

When I was a lad I served a term
As office boy to an Attorney’s firm.
I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor,
And I polished up the handle of the big front door.

Chorus.
He polished up the handle of the big front door.

Sir Joseph.
I polished up that handle so carefullee
That now I am the Ruler of the Queen’s Navee!

***

Now landsmen all, whoever you may be,
If you want to rise to the top of the tree,
If your soul isn’t fettered to an office stool,
Be careful to be guided by this golden rule.

Chorus.
Be careful to be guided by this golden rule.

Sir Joseph.
Stick close to your desks and never go to sea,
And you all may be rulers of the Queen’s Navee!

Chorus.
Stick close to your desks and never go to sea,
And you all may be rulers of the Queen’s Navee!

The MISSION didn’t change!!

The fascists who insist on undermining our Military and using it to promote a sick social experiment have changed!

Not another DOD agency run by one of Obama’s Political Correct/Anal Retentive female. All of them have been failures from Napolitano to Sebelieus, Lerner and Rice, etc.

No wonder our enemies are laughing at us.

Just imagine a transgendered soldier trying to figure out whether to wear a combat dress or fatigues while the enemy is attacking.

Or, gee, does this dress go with my torpedo?

Enough of this planned destruction of our military.

Yep, Romney.

Here is another part of the letter as he describes himself as to the left of Ted Kennedy on gay issues.

“”I am not unaware of my opponent’s considerable record in the area of civil rights, or the commitment of Massachusetts voters to the principle of equality for all Americans. For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponent’s record in this area. But I believe we can and must do better. If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.””

Here is the letter.

These people are mentally ill...period. It shows how much common sense has disintegrated that their sickness is celebrated and children are being encouraged to select their own sex. Now this.

The PC lunatics spreading this garbage need to be held acccountable.

Freak-show military for a freak-show nation.

Really getting so hard to give a damn about anything anymore. I don’t even recognize this country. It’s become like an insane-asylum, run by deviants. Makes me want to vomit. Am I really supposed to care anymore about the preservation of this republic? To care whether it lives or dies, or is attacked by outside forces?

Honestly, next time another 9/11 happens, I genuinely question as to whether I’ll be able to muster up any emotion or concern. This America has become so sick and depraved. Once the country started embracing homo-marriage, I just can no longer look at it the same way.

Deborah Lee James is insane and should be removed from office.


Unfortunately, Chuck Hagel said something similar not long ago. I realize he is leaving, but its not over that comment—which I’m sure BHO fully supports.

War doesn’t change.

It always has been, and always will be deadly serious business.

And then they wonder why the rank and file don’t trust their leaders.

No need for the simile.

Actually, Roe v. Wade (1973) ended it for me. I did not like saying the Pledge of Allegiance after that time.

A job which requires its employees to be armed and dangerous is not a place for the mentally ill.

Any history buffs out there know if a parable or writings comparable to the history of Sodom and Gomorrah are found in other cultures? There is nothing new under the sun.

With this type of leadership. . . who is going to sign-up for the military?

Obama will just tell one of his federal District Court appointees to rule in favor of trannies in a case brought by some pervert.
