Stroker and his Marxist Minions need to GO!
Stossel is totally dead wrong about this. Homosexual “marriage” means forcing all other citizens to accept and praise homosexuality. Homosexuals in the military means they’ll have a protected status with innumerable possibilities for the disruption of the mission.
Maybe other countries don’t have the same problems ... but it’s interesting that most of the countries he mentions aren’t defending themselves, anyway, so using their militaries as a opportunity for homos to get a uniform doesn’t mean anything.
The majority of the military disagrees...and so do all people who still have a moral compass.
Stossel is a perfect example of how doctrinaire libertarianism rots the mind.
Repealing DADT will adversely affect unit cohesiveness and our recruiting efforts. Who in their right mind wants to go to war with a queer?
The reason Stossel is wrong is because the military isn’t a job, it’s a lifestyle. Likewise gayness isn’t a medical condition or a handicap, it’s a lifestyle. And the two lifestyles don’t mix, period.
Which is why Stossel, in a remarkably weasely fashion, cites the study that says 71% of troops would still remain in the service if the policy changed.
He tries to trick his reader into thinking that soldiers who oppose any change in policy - but who do not want to throw away their careers - are somehow supporters of a change in policy.
The fact is the vast majority oppose it, and one out of every three in service would leave the armed forces if the policy changed - they feel that strongly about it.
Besides he is entitled to his opinion, just as you and I are to ours
????? Free to do anything they want?? Gay marriage, open homosexual behavior in the military? The military is the government dim-wit. Legal marriage is the government. Government is not intended to be freedom. Am I free to not pay my taxes? Even for others aids treatments ??? Idiot.
If he is worried about freedom he should start else where like taxes and mandates not getting homosexuals special behaviour rights.
DOD just recently asked a random sampling of all service members to complete a survey on just this subject.
WE’ll see what the service members actual say back to DOD.
all the huge problems the country is facing and some people want to focus on pushing the gay agenda
Questions to which you know the answers:
Who would want the military to be ineffective, incohesive, and unable to defend America’s interest?
Who would want the military to drain off it’s majority of Christian conservative patriots?
Who would have doubts as to whether the current military would back him if he tried to crack down on America’s citizens using the force of the military?
homosexuals have the choice to serve and be celibate, or to have sex and not serve. Military service is a privilege, not a right.
Who suggested he wasn't? A defense of his opinion would have to be a lot stronger than that!
Excellent point, SpaceBar.
Stossel seems to be reasonably bright, so I have to question his sincerity on these points. The effects of public promotion of homosexuality can be clearly seen in our society and others; pretending otherwise is disingenuous.
Unfortunately, you are right. Yes, of course, we need to have “military” like Denmark’s. I’m sure the Euroweenie military machine would have whipped through Iraq in record time. Moreover, the larger issue is social. Europe is rotting because of its social liberalism, which is why the Mohammadans may conquer Europe without firing a shot. If it happens, acceptance of sexual deviance will be no small part of what caused it.
Not only going to war with them. The left is handing them protected status and they will use it to gain rank and power even when they are not ready or capable of using it for the better of the military.
Homosexuals will cry "foul" if another does not agree with them, refuses to date them (or worse), or another is found more worthy of promotion.
The entire military structure will be fractured to accommodate these perverts and they will keep everyone at risk to ensure they get everything they want, whether they deserve it or not.
“...By contrast, Australia, the United Kingdom, Israel, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia and Spain all allow gay people to serve....”
What the Western Euro-Weenies do is so trendy and smart that we must blindly follow. I notice Poland, Finland, Switzerland, and Latvia are not on the list. Are they old-fashioned like America?
