Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Monday that he supports the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" ban on gays serving in the military because homosexuality is "immoral" and on par with having an extramarital affair.
Addressing the controversial policy as part of a wide-ranging interview with the Tribune in Chicago, Pace said the military should not "condone" immoral behavior by allowing gay soldiers to serve openly. He said his views were based on his "upbringing," in which certain types of conduct were thought to be immoral.
"I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts...," Pace said, while also calling it immoral for military members to commit adultery with another service member's spouse. "I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is okay to be immoral in anyway.
In the interview, Pace also said that a provision in the House Democrats' proposal to wind down the war could hamper President Bush's planned troop "surge" in Iraq by creating gaps in troop levels.

Nice to see straight talk from a general.
Well, I predict that he'll be replaced or retired by this time next week.

Welp, he's done. LOL
whoa, the macacca is going to hit the fan now. But you know, it's about time conservatives stood up and said it like it was. Now if the rinos get a spine and back him Pace, things might improve.
Gen. Pace is on Hitlery's list now, for sure.
Those soldiers from Sparta sure were wusses, now that I think about it.
Anyway, why would anyone want to defend anal sex?
It's always seemed dumb to me to put a flagpole in the middle of a foxhole, anyway.
Hip Hip Hooray!
Hip Hip Hooray!
Hip Hip Hooray!
God bless you, Peter Pace.
Oh boy. That sound you hear is the spineless Pubbies running for cover. Unfortunately, the General will be fighting another war shortly, a fight for his career.
Schumer will call for him to resign tommorrow.
BTW: Did you see the headline on ABC.com? "Was Rove behind the firing of the 8 AGs". LOL
ABCCBSNBCCNN suck, all of them.
