Is Gay Marriage a Trojan Horse Within the Military?
Townhall ^ | 05/04/2015 | Lee Culpepper

Posted on 05/04/2015 9:03:48 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

A stable of Trojan horses is pulling the president’s carriage toward the fundamental transformation of America. And the symbolism of the Greek pillars from the 2008 Democratic Convention seems to grow clearer than most of us want to acknowledge.

The Supreme Court will soon rule on same-sex marriages, but the U.S. military has already received its marching orders. It’s just bizarre that a record number of senior officers have been dismissed for adultery and similar misconduct when the uncomfortable truth about same-sex marriage is that monogamous nuptials are not the objective.

According to a 2010 article in the New York Times, Many ‘Successful’ Gay Marriages Share an Open Secret:

Quietly, outside the news media and courtroom spotlight, many gay couples are [rewriting the traditional rules of matrimony]...monogamy is not a central feature.

This news faded rather quickly amidst the subsequent media onslaught to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), but the article remains rather enlightening:

None of this is news in the gay community, but few will speak publicly about it. Of the dozen people in open relationships contacted for this column, no one would agree to use his or her full name, citing privacy concerns. They also worried that discussing the subject could undermine the legal fight for same-sex marriage.

Instead of this taboo reality giving the commander in chief a reason to pause in firing top military commanders for sexual infractions, the Pentagon issued a directive to authorize 7 to 10 days of special-marriage leave exclusively to homosexual military members. In fact, the Los Angeles Times published an article critical of the military’s struggle to expedite this unique homosexual privilege.

After the repeal of DADT and just before the Supreme Court struck down DOMA in 2012, President Obama stressed that it was important for him, personally, to support same-sex marriages. At the time, Obama’s smoothly emphatic description of “incredibly committed same-sex relationships” may haveintentionally distorted reality. It’s not like this administration has a problem being unscrupulous.

The common practice of open relationships and open marriages for homosexuals remains a buried secret for average Americans with traditional cultural values. Some might not want to know, and others might simply refuse to accept it. But ignoring reality does not change it, contrary to what liberals pretend.

A subsequent article at Slate.com, The Dirty Little Secret: Most Gay Couples are Not Monogamous, returned to the awkward subject the exact day that the Supreme Court struck down DOMA -- three years after the New York Times unveiled the still obscure open secret.

Since 2012, the Huffington Post has had an entire page devoted to promoting homosexual non-monogamy, and articles and studies about the cultural practice are easy to find -- particularly concerning homosexual men.

Based on the plethora of sources, the stigma and shame traditionally associated with adultery does not deter or apply in the homosexual culture, a fact to which Laura Ingraham recently alluded.

Obviously, not every LGBTQ couple has an open relationship. However, the widespread cultural practice of open relationships should have been a red flag for a serious commander in chief. The armed forces function successfully in part because of the stringent moral boundaries designed to maintain good order and discipline.

Before the country's fundamental transformation, Marine Corps Commandant General James F. Amos, was the most vocal critic in the debate to repeal DADT. Now, however, the Corps promotes its efforts to be better than its peers at recruiting the LGBTQ community. Questions have followed as to whether the influx of this alternative sexual culture is having a negative impact on good order and discipline. In May of 2014, the Pentagon revealed that reports of sexual assault increased by 50 percent in 2013, yet officials stated emphatically that the increase in reports filed has nothing to do with an increase in assaults committed.

Surprisingly, most of the sexual assault victims in the military are men, but males only add up to 14 percent of the total assaults reported. Officials claim men tend to remain silent in an effort to avoid uncomfortable questions about their virility. This voluntary silence very well may contribute to the recent report celebrating a 27 percent decrease in military sexual assaults over the past two years.

To civilians like this commander in chief, who has no military experience, the clear boundaries of the UCMJ might seem outdated or too ingrained in Christian values, except when used to discharge and punish conservative officers. Regardless, the lines were established to prevent immoral behavior from interfering with national defense.

When warriors deploy, the last thing they should worry about is fellow service members at home attempting to adulterate their spouses or whether their commanding officers are doing the same. The latter problem could put a soldier in greater danger in battle. The military calls this the Bathsheba Syndrome, but since the Obama administration is purging Christian evangelism from the military too, new recruits will likely fail to understand the biblical allusion.

Military officers have a duty to lead by example. Their personal conduct directly impacts the morale and effectiveness of their subordinates. Deterring immoral behavior that can spread disorder and erode discipline throughout any system or unit requires the military to have severe consequences established.

With open marriages not being taboo in the homosexual culture, and the Pentagon now authorizing special leave for homosexual soldiers to be married, it might be some random cosmic accident that no news of homosexual troops committing adultery has been exposed, especially in light of the increased intolerance for the original DADT (adultery).

As the White House continues to exert pressure on the Pentagon to implement and ensure the success of this never-ending sexual experiment, the Navy is now facing a pending officer retention crisis. Junior officers have lost confidence in senior leadership.

Meanwhile, the rest of us have to wonder how the nation’s security has been strengthened by firing the most experienced officers busted for the unofficial DADT only for the military to embrace a culture that actually promotes the taboo.

Who knows? As a result of same-sex marriages, maybe traditional sexual misconduct will be ordered legal soon. Just don't expect the shamed senior officers to return to duty. The military has to move forward.

Yes, homosexualism will eventually weaken our military to the point it cannot defend the nation. Great empires have fallen because of this.

President Cruz must reverse this dangerous trend.

Don’t worry about ANYBODY being dismissed for adultery after this madness becomes official. The point is not to expand the institution of marriage; the point is to destroy it, along with healthy families and, of course, morality grounded in religious faith.

Is it really a Trojan horse if you can see what's in it?
Most people on the right can see it clearly, it's to demoralize and weaken the military.

We have often referred to the cultural Gaystapo, but I wonder if Obama is actually trying to turn the military into an overtly homosexual REAL Gaystapo.

It seems to me that when gays infiltrate an organization, that organization eventually become a gay organization. We may be shocked to find that our military has a distinctly gay culture within ten years.

Christian chaplains are being purged, gay flags are flying on military bases, and gays are getting preferential treatment in marriage leave. It is already happening.

We see it because we are looking for it, but no one else is looking for it.

I forgot to mention that gay entertainment such as drag queen shows is now appearing on military bases.

If the SC rules in favor of gay marriage, the Church will be the next focus of the brunt of the Left Wing. They will at all cost strip them of their tax exemption status if they preach against gay marriage and/or refuse to have gay marriages in their churches. The LW has wanted to silence the Church for years and now they are close to their goal. It will effect all Synagogues also. Judaism will never allow gay marriage within the Synagogues.

On the bright side of this, Jews and Christians must united on this in order to survive. Maybe this has been God’s plan for Unification all along?

The whole point was to destroy the military's espirit de corps, which is central to its effectiveness as a fighting force. There's nothing accidental here. I would highly recommend FReepers to dissuade young people in your families and circles of friends from joining this country's military. It is not a hospitable place for anyone with traditional values.

RE: I wonder if Obama is actually trying to turn the military into an overtly homosexual REAL Gaystapo.

If anyone had seen the movie about Obama that Dinesh d’Souza produced — 2016: Obama’s America, one can understand that there is a method to Obama’s seeming incompetence.

He REALLY is not happy with a dominant America and wants the rest of the world to catch up.

His redistributionist tendencies include the military, since he does not believe in an exceptional America. Hence, military power was also be redistributed worldwide.

His ideology came from his father and his mentors who drilled into him the idea that America is an imperialistic power whose wings must be clipped.

Therefore, when you see him promote policies that weaken military morale, you should not be surprised.

In the interest of “fairness”— something the current prez is ALL about-It seems that there should be some changes made to the UCMJ—adultery should no longer be considered a punishable offense. If homosexuality is no longer an issue, than neither should be adultery, or polygamy. Pedophilia will be the next thing pushed and that’s going to totally destroy the military. Christianity is already under attack so nothing will remain as a moral standard. When there is no moral standard there is no moral high ground and we are not worthy to defend anything or anyone. Praying for Jesus to come again SOON!

It is to transform the worldview of this nation to a pagan, demonic one—to kill God (destroy the Christian Worldview).

Why? To destroy Freedom. Without Virtue, Freedom is impossible. When you have a Justice System promoting Vice-—you will no longer have a “Just” system-—it is a Vice System. Promoting Vice (which is what ‘homosexual” marriage is) will breed more vice and collapse the US.

“When Law ceases to be Just, it ceases to be Law”. (Justice systems ONLY promote Virtue-—never irrational, evil, dehumanizing behaviors.) When Law is unjust, it is “null and void” (Justice John Marshall).

Homosexual “marriage” removes Objective Truth, God’s Laws and Right Reason from our Justice System and corrupts the worldview of any child raised in a toxic culture which promotes irrational, vile, dehumanizing behaviors exactly like the toxic culture of Afghani harem boys..

It removes Rule of Law and forces Rule of Man which fundamentally transforms this nation to a pagan, satanic nation..

Obviously, not every LGBTQ couple has an open relationship.

Just 90 something percent of them. The term open relationship sounds so much nicer that wildly promiscuous, doesn't it?

I'd always wondered on the emphasis on declaring themselves "openly gay". I know that I and every heterosexual person I've ever known doesn't insist on declaring ourselves "openly heterosexual."

Then, a former military person on this forum told me the hard truth. The "openly gay" meme is like a gang sign to declare themselves available and seeking. In the normal world in which I've lived, I just hadn't imagined that such sickness flourished so.

No TROJAN about it. No one is hiding. No one is denying what is happening. Feminizing the military went pretty well and no one really objected enough to stop that, so why not cross another bridge. It’s been a greased skid all the way.

The queers own the courts. The courts are composed of Leftists. They all come out of the tag line below, but we do nothing.

Americans have proven themselves to be total pushovers for collapse of our institutions, and our military, because we will not speak out. Blacks have more courage than we patriots to demonstrate and raise hell.

The reason is that patriots have not yet been left so hopeless, YET, as these pockets of blacks. But, it’s coming.

Blacks have been born into and trapped in these Marxist strongholds of political corruption, union schools and gravely impoverished neighborhoods, haunted by drug dealers and law enforcement and no way out.

Methinks we “patriots” will wait until these things come to *us*, arrive on *our* doorstep before our human nature takes over enough to fight back, be seen and be heard and take risks.

I mean we have our keyboards, after all, and they have to be tended. Besides, it’s easier if we leave it to our elected to fix all this. That’s a laugh. It is WE who need to fix these things.

Pamela Geller is right. Freedom is up to each individual.

Unfortunately, most Americans don't know – or care – just how far down the drain we've slid!

Sorta gives new meaning to the once proud boast that one served under a West Pointer!
