Pentagon: Service members now allowed to wear uniforms in gay pride parades
AP/NY Daily News ^ | 7/19/2012

The Department of Defense is allowing service members to march in uniform in a gay pride parade for the first time in U.S. history.

The Pentagon on Thursday issued a military-wide directive saying it was making an exception to its policy that generally bars troops from marching in uniform in parades.

The exception is being made for San Diego’s Gay Pride Parade that will take place Saturday.

How many of those who posed for a photo-op in Military uniforms purportedly protesting DADT—were prosecuted? Isaiah 51:8 for the moth will eat them up like a garment...” and
Pastor Arnold Murray, shepherds Chapel (member of the Frozen Chosen) today in his lecture on the Arm the Lord commented
“how about same sex marriage and what’s taking place in our Military as example of the moths eating —as put in Isaiah 51:8 )?Seems what ought be expected when the man chosen to lead the Pentagon has the position to purchase his co-operation in the cover-up by this Administration of the guns to Cartels game known as Fast and Furious.

Because they see Gays as the new victim class and they need a cause like this, to give them legitimacy. Gay's marching around in uniforms allows Obama+CO to accuse (certain) Republicans of attacking soldiers.

Ironically most Republicans are very timid about the issue of homo-sexual rights.

Gee, I just feel so safe now, knowing that our military will be made up of a bunch of mentally ill pansies and pansy sympathizers. Thanks, Americans — both liberals and non-liberals, for allowing this to be done to our great military.

If this isn’t evidence that the US is on its way out, I don’t know what else is.

SO glad my husband is retiring in the next 2 months. NO more.

From what I can tell only one side, the libs, were fighting that battle. That is why they won. I mean the propaganda battle of minds which is how these are really won.

DOMA was the last real Republican act to slow this down.

If you were a young man, would this impact your decision to join the military?

And some dumb$hits didn't vote for McCain/Palin 4 years.

This is the the result of that choice. Hope they are now happy that “RINO” McCain wasn't elected.

[ Why oh why isn’t the rest of American screaming about how “Those people” are getting special treatment? ]

BECAUSE..... The American People elected an in your face Marxists as President.. A Marxist that is bound to enact all the sedition and treason the democrat party has stood for in the past.. all of it.. Democrat voters are NOT GOOD PEOPLE... Just being a democrat shows what you believe or even don’t believe.. Democrats vote for bad things because they are bad people.. with bad morals whether acted on or not.. The democrat party is an insane cabal of traitors because they are bad people.. not because they are merely wrong..

Did the DoD direct that the uniform must be complete?

It doesn't matter, and here's why:

Last month, the SCOTUS ruled that the "Stolen Valor" act was unconstitutional. Thus, ANYONE, regardless of military service, could wear a uniform anywhere.

I believe now that you'll see entire swaths of faggots marching in parades in full military uniforms purchased from local Army/Navy surplus or even one of the many online uniform retailers. There will be no way to discern them from real members of the military.

RE :”If you were a young man, would this impact your decision to join the military?

It is tempting to say just ‘yes’ but since I never had interest in joining the military, and because I am from a different generation, the one that lived through the aids plague which we were blamed for, and where most children had married opposite sex parents(especially on TV),so an intellectually honest answer is that my answer to that personal question is not all that relevant to what is happening now.
You know I cant give the standard reply :)

Back in 1990s National Review predicted this battle of minds was lost when women were let in the military male jobs.

A decade or so I had a female stylist cut my hair and that day she had a male assistant (gay manorisms naturally) wash my hair. It gave me the total creeps and I told her that later. I dont even like a gay cutting my hair. Hair washing is a sensual activity. Same with massage. I only let women do that,

Wow, I didn't even think of that angle. This could get uglier than I imagined.

It really makes you think, doesn’t it?

SCOTUS makes it legal to impersonate a member of the military, now the military makes it legal to march as a homosexual in a gay pride parade.

There’s absolutely no way anyone could tell me that this isn’t part of the Marxist/Socialist/Communist plan to turn America into a third-world toilet.

You can bet that servicemembers wouldn’t be allowed to attend a Tea Party rally in uniform.

Good point, I didnt even think of that one.

A tea party rally is really a ‘American producer’ rally as opposed to a homo rally.

What a travesty! DOD turning into a panderer for the homosexual lobby. The damage this will do to our military as a fighting force is incalculable and may well be irreparable.

My 16 year old son wants to join the Marines - after the emasculation this Regime is performing on our Armed Forces, I will tell him to stay out.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I think this was the plan. No patriot with any morals will want to join. The military will be weakened (it’s been being undermined in various ways for decades) and willing to follow a leftist government in opposition to the Constitution. It will only be fit for using against citizens, not for fighting America’s enemies.
