Soooo...when they take the anti-sodomy language out of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, I guess that’ll apply to heteros as well.

Ping to my response on this question. I'm sure this is how it works in the Navy, and I am assuming a similar regulation exists for the Army. Am I correct?

The one thing I'm not certain about is the continuing freedom of Chaplains to speak about the sins of homosexuality during the Chaplain's Sunday sermon. Do you think this could be infringed at some point, if the military adopts this new homosexual-friendly policy?

In theory, no one is to censor a chaplain’s sermon.

The difficulty will be courage when the chaplain’s rater is a homosexual. A bad rating will kill that chaplain’s career. Refusing to proclaim the truth will kill his spirit.

It will be a dividing point.

And to weaken the military, and to create a dictatorship, since most people including the military hate this.

No they won’t. DOD civilians do not get benefits so why would active duty.

They do in the Canadian military and they will in yours. Canada should be viewed as the canary in the coal mine for conservative Americans. Every liberal outrage being pushed in the US has already been implemented her in Canada. If you don’t push back hard then it’s only a matter of time before you follow in our sorry footsteps.

I think America will follow Israel who has had gays in their military for years. I would think that they don’t give money for dependents.

Thats right and if they refuse to do their jobs in combat, they are executed on the spot.We do not have that hutspa. If we did, we could have an ALL gay military.

The partners of straight troops are being excluded with Obamacare when it comes to tricare.
