WASHINGTON (Nov. 30) — Marking the 14th anniversary of legislation that allowed gay men and lesbians to serve in the military but only if they kept their orientation secret, 28 retired generals and admirals plan to release a letter on Friday urging Congress to repeal the law.

This is why CNN wanted General Kerr the Clinton supporter and the other Democrat supporters to ask questions in the debate? It was to give an issue that noone was talking about in the Republican Party so they could run ads and start up an issue the Dems want to talk about.

The amazing thing is no Republican mentioned in the debate was that it was Clinton's policy and after they found out Kerr was working on behalf of Mrs. Clinton why is he supporting her since her husband implemented the policy.

Gays and lesbians already do serve in the military and it is open enough that every knows who the lesbians are and most people in a unit know who the gays are. The Soldiers don’t care. What they do care about is having it thrown in there face and told they have to like it. Kinda how libs act on everything.

Well, if you are wearing a pink tutu and have one hand on your hip it’s kinda hard to shoulder and fire a rifle.

Bullseye. That’s exactly the way it was when I served. We knew who was gay, but we resented any suggestion that we had to sit there and watch them celebrate it in font of us.

This seems pretty clear to me:

Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)

ART. 125. SODOMY

(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration , however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense.

(b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

This seems pretty clear to me:

Indeed it does. And as I learned in navy boot camp, sodomy can be defined as oral sex between a married couple in the privacy of their bed.

Allow me to suggest that IF folks STOP using PC terms of endearment for the Queers then those perverted folks just might get the message that they are not wanted with proper society and go ANYWHERE else to live.

For those FRreepers still using the PC verbage “GLBT”, take a deep breathe, speak the words that are the truth about Perverts&Deviants and allow yourself the transcendent awareness that the PCdisease has left your body.

Every time you do this exercise in the company of other so afflicted folks, they will have a moment of gasping breathe but will be the better for it, as the PCdisease loses another convert and it is morning in America again.
