Next week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is expected to begin floor debate on a defense authorization bill that would repeal the Clinton-era "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and allow homosexuals to serve openly in the armed forces. Last month, a top military official offered a glimpse of how the military might look should the new policy take effect: Those serving who oppose the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) agenda are no longer welcome.
Those were the views of Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Bostick, the Army's deputy chief of staff in charge of personnel matters who spoke about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" before several hundred troops at the European Command headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. "Unfortunately, we have a minority of service members who are still racists and bigoted and you will never be able to get rid of all of them," Lt. Gen. Bostick said. "But these people opposing this new policy will need to get with the program, and if they can't, they need to get out. No matter how much training and education of those in opposition, you're always going to have those that oppose this on moral and religious grounds just like you still have racists today."
The strong words take additional significance from Lt. Gen. Bostick's direct involvement with a Pentagon panel charged with shaping military policy on this issue. Although Lt. Gen. Bostick presented the question of homosexuals in the military as if it were about civil rights, it is nothing of the kind. The services must discriminate to function. Those who are too old, too weak or too overweight must be shown the door even when similar actions in the private sector might spark a lawsuit.

Lt. Gen. Bostick of the New Army
“Gen. Bostick”
The Gaydar is pinging!
yuppers...new gay anti christian and anti american army..
Sir! Yes Sir! I am a bigot SIR!
AMEN!
That’s the whole point,
get the Christians and the conservatives out of the military,
so that if there’s an uprising against the elitists,
the military will have no qualms about firing on them.
General Bostick....might I suggest that your grow a mustache so as to cover your stretch marks?
One picture is worth a thousands words. Alles klar!
One picture is worth a thousands words. Alles klar!
Are we really trying to win wars?
Sir! Airman Bigot Reports As Ordered, Sir!
“Mr Sulo beam me up”
Sad what has become of the US Military, an Institution that once was both Moral and Ethical and beyond reproach.
Lt Gen, to be sure, when your name comes up again you will be opposed by those who still have a love for the US Military and it’s Combat Mission.
...these guys are going to beat al Queda and the Taliban?
They’re coming after average Americans harder than they’re going after the people trying to kill us. :(
This sucks. :(:(:(

It sounds like we’ve got an Obamanoid “general” wanting to come out of the closet. It had to have been tough for him.

Does this mean that our military people can be granted an immediate discharge after DADT is repealed? The homos better start lining up at the recruiting offices to replace all the bigots and racists that leave the military.
The SS was full of gays. Gays are brutal when it comes to being soldiers.
Many hate their dads, and/or moms, and they have no problems taking out their anger on other people, especially if they have the power to do so and feel it’s their duty. and can explain it as just a part of their orders.
“Just kicking a couple moral bigots’ asses, sir.”
