A national defense analyst and Pentagon advisor says a recent report concerning the alarming rate of male-on-male sexual assaults in the military should create a roadblock to President Obama's efforts to repeal the 1993 law banning homosexuals from military service.
An annual report from the Department of Defense reveals that over the past year, reports of sexual assaults in the military have increased by 11 percent, including a 16-percent spike in reported incidents in combat areas, principally in Iraq and Afghanistan. While 87 percent of the reported assaults were male-on-female, seven percent were male-on-male.
Lt. Col. Bob Maginnis (USA-Ret.) was part of the military working group that helped craft the 1993 law known as Section 654, Title 10. The law states that homosexuality is incompatible with military service. Maginnis considers the seven-percent figure in male-on-male sexual assaults alarming.
"You've got to come to the conclusion that in the military, where we have a ban for that type of service and we're having a fairly significant incidence of assault that's associated with that type of activity, then you actually may have a worse problem than you think," he suggests.
"Seven percent is not something to dismiss lightly. If you're going to have that much homosexual assault, that's just the tip of the iceberg."
The retired Army officer says the increase of incidents of male-on-female sexual assaults is also very alarming and must be dealt with, especially in a time of war.

TICKLE FIGHT!!!
There is a WWII boat at Patriot’s Point in Charleston, SC that I went through once or twice. No thanks as I am 6’3.
They aren’t all limp wristed little guys. I remember treating a “catcher” years ago. About 6’6” and close to 400 lbs of steroid enhanced gristle. There was no question, nobody could force that dude to do anything.
Because, even if they are open about what they are, they are societal deviants, and like other societal deviants, bank robbers, rapists, etc. they are easy prey to someone who wants to 'hold them hostage'.
That's true, but Evil also goes before and opens the door for them.
Does the study include whether or not the sexual assaults are done by men who consider themselves homosexual? I’ve read that most sexual assaults in prison are done by men who don’t consider themselves homosexual.
These guys are more gnostic than humanist. They think of the human body as an object that they can utilize like cars in which they are passengers. You know ,like Jane Fonda taking herself to the body shop. /s.
A lot of them want to stay in the closet. Most are bisexual anyway, they swing both ways. The open gays would blackmail them.
Much as I might like, I can’t disagree with you.
When I was on active duty many, many, many years ago, the women were basically considered to be fair game.
Most guys were honorable enough to think with their big heads. Some weren’t and thought only with their little heads.
I am sure by now that it is beginning to dawn upon a few dumb heads here and there that any act by “The Divine One” and his apostles is harmful to American interests. The true horror regarding these people is they may really think they are doing well, and that they engage in harmful acts with a good conscience. They can’t help themselves, it is their nature, their very essence. This administration is living proof that Aristotle still has some validity.
I’m all for a tickle fight! Powers Poothe,where are you?
I don't see how they are open to blackmail if everyone already know they are queer.
A lot of them want to stay in the closet. Most are bisexual anyway, they swing both ways. The open gays would blackmail them.
That is exactly correct.
My uncle is 6’ 3” and he was in the engine room of one of those for 8 years.
I couldn’t imagine it. My highest regards to your uncle for doing that for so long.
