Discharge pending for combat pilot who tried to halt lesbian officers’ make-out session

The Army is moving to discharge a decorated combat pilot who intervened to stop two lesbian officers from showing excessive affection on the dance floor at an official ball at Fort Drum, N.Y.

Lt. Col. Christopher Downey ended up being convicted administratively of assaulting a soldier trying to film the kissing and grabbing. Col. Downey’s lawyer, Richard Thompson, says his client merely pushed down the camera to prevent photos that could end up on social media.

Mr. Thompson said Col. Downey’s commanding officer also convicted him of violating the regulation that ended the ban on gays openly serving in the military.

That April 14, 2012, night, Col. Downey moved to caution the two lesbian officers, a second lieutenant and a captain, after a warrant officer complained that their prolonged French kissing, grabbing buttocks and disrobing Army jackets violated Army rules against excessive public affection, his lawyer said.

He said the captain, who since has left the Army, complained she and her girlfriend, whom she later married and then divorced, were discriminated against by Col. Downey.

....won’t let officers in uniform carry an umbrella....

Or wear rubbers. Or push a baby carriage. But the UCMJ say nothing about homosexual officers carrying a purse, an umbrella, or wearing rubbers. It is therefore legally possible that homosexual officers are free to indulge in PDA, while carrying an umbrella, wearing rubbers...and pushing a baby carriage.

As we used to say in the AF (semi-military flying club founded by Manfred von Richtofen)"A good pilot and a good weapons officer go hand-in-hand, but please, not on the base."

the Homosexual movement is simply about SEX. Nothing else. all they want is absolute license. The “rights” aspect is just window dressing for public consumption

WRONG! It has been latched onto by those who see it as the best way to destroy the vestiges of Judeo-Christian civilization.

>>obama is succeeding in fundamentally destroying America..


EHRLICHMAN: It’s fatal liberality.

NIXON: Huh?

EHRLICHMAN: It’s fatal liberality. And with its use on television, it has such leverage.

NIXON: You know what’s happened [in northern California]?

EHRLICHMAN: San Francisco has just gone clear over.

NIXON: But it’s not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time—it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can’t shake hands with anybody from San Francisco.

Decorators. They got to do something. But we don’t have to glorify it. You know one of the reasons fashions have made women look so terrible is because the goddamned designers hate women. Designers taking it out on the women. Now they’re trying to get some more sexy things coming on again.

EHRLICHMAN: Hot pants.

NIXON: Jesus Christ.

Obama is a product of the generation that’s been perfecting fatal liberality for more than half a century now.

Well I remain grossed out. What anyone does in their bedroom really does not concern me. I prefered when I had no idea who was gay and who was not and who was doing what to whom. I might be a pollyanna, but I liked it better that way.

I doubt that this article contains all the facts. I think that I’d like to know more before making a comment. Misconduct at social events is an issue that commander’s deal with all of the time, and now that includes misconduct by homosexuals. The issue seems to be the camera issue and the article is not clear about what happened there at all.

“convicted him of violating the regulation that ended the ban on gays openly serving in the military”

I served 22 years in the USN, don’t ask, don’t tell seemed to work, but if someone saw two gays or lesbians making out they could be brought up on charges.
If anyone knows the answer, my question is this: Prior to DADT, homosexuals were NOT allowed to served in the military. Now that DADT has been repealed, it should be reverted back to no homosexuals in the military. Has Congress passed a law stating homosexuals can openly serve in the military?

Homosexuals do not want “equality”, and it’s becoming more and more obvious that they never did. What they have always wanted is superiority, to have more privileges than heterosexuals, and to be able to silence dissent and opposition. The cultural Marxist, anti-heterosexual, anti-middle class, anti-white Obama has given them everything they wanted.

You know honestly, I am disgusted when two heterosexuals go to far in their public displays of affection

...the perfect cure for that disgust is to watch the replay of Michael Sam and his buttboy tonguing each other on draft day...

...you’ll never complain about hetero displays of affection again...
