This is insane! If the Colonel refused to sign that paper,it should have no bearing on whether or not he is eligible for promotion. It’s been awhile,but if I remember correctly homosexuality in the Armed Forces was considered a court martial offense. Does anyone know just exactly when this change of direction occurred?

Obviously, there is no place for devout Christians in the contemporary Air Force. I’m glad I retired before this travesty.

So this brings up two issues.

1. If this continues we will fail to fight wars to win.

2. Religious accommodation rights are a fable sold by the gaystapo to gain our acceptance of their agenda. They will fully persecute Christians who have religious issues with the gay agenda

I think their hate was evident in their opposition to the travel bans. They didn’t want to allow exceptions for the Christians in Syria.

Yes, my mom watched something on Netflix that claimed the US could never have won Vietnam, as the Cong was fighting for the survival of the country. Any truth to that? Forgive me because as a Canadian the only education I got on Vietnam was from a draft dodger who came to our grade 12 class.

We had actually won in VN. The Dems cut off funding for the war, would not allow the bombing of NVN and completely abandoned the SVA and other allies (hmong, Montagnard, etc.) As usual the Dems were against victory and blamed Nixon (really the only Republican president involved). The VC were decimated, the BVA were down to 13 yr. old kids and the Dems got scared of victory.

Where is Trump’s wonder kid, James Mattis? Where is Trump after all that talk to the Family Values group the other day?

Homosexuals went from demanding accommodation to demanding acceptance and approval, or else. So long as Trump and Mattis do nothing, Obama might as well still be President.

??? I thought it was a Dem, LBJ, that started the war? So they were for the war before they were against it?

Anyways, thanks for the summary. It was lost politically then....they must REALLY hate their country.

When this guy signed on, homosexual activity was banned. At this rate, he’d better get out before they make it mandatory.

Actually, down deep, it was JFK who got us involved with SF (Green Berets and CIA ADVISORS).

Trump told Mattis to get rid of drag queens. What did he do. He’s letting them re-enlist and Trump has not said a word about it. Where’s Tony Perkins, Pastor Jeffresses and the rest of the religious leaders to demand Trump do what he said he would do. Crickets. As far as the sex perverts taking over the military Obama might as well be president.

Viet Cong were destroyed utterly by 1969 or so. After the 1968 Tet (Vietnamese holiday) offensive, the VC ceased to exist as a meaningful fighting force. It was all NVA after that. South Vietnam fell in 1975 to a massive, mechanized, regular army invasion by PAVN, aided and abetted by demonicRATs in the US Congress, who refused to authorize any aid to South Vietnam.
